I have been frustrated with scale morphs with Mil2 figures. Especially the hands. Still using mike2 I hate his tiny little hands and comparatively bigger feets!
Enlarging the size of the hands and fingers doesn't work...to much distortion to the parts of the hand. So I went about it a bit different. I enlarged the overall figure by a certain percentage then reduce the individual body parts except the hands and fingers to the size the figure was originally. I have not tried dressing him after this is done so not sure how this affects the conform functions of clothes but it does give him nicer bigger hands. I do the same thing with the feet!
Likewise I feel the heads of the Mil Figures are smaller than what for some reason I think I see in real life. I notice it when viewing mikki2 for instance which seems shorter and a bit stockier. Her head seems bigger in proportion to her body and her legs and torso also seem shorter and that gives me the illusion of being more "Realistic". So lately I have been changing the proportions of my Mil2 figures to give me the same look and they do seem a bit more realistic. Of course Ethnicity modes here play an important in that perception so I guess it could be relative to that too.
This figure we are discussing in this thread has the same feel to it at first glance as say Miki 2 (shorter and a bit stockier) and that I guess is why she seems so much more desirably realistic...not super model or even model status but your everyday 'Neighbor's Wife"!
