I love her but one of the problems with Windblade is her balance issue. Her wings shift her centre of gravity directly over her heels. The fact the heels collapse only exacerbates her situation.

But I reckon extending her heels a few millimeters shifts her center of gravity towards her toes and angles her heels so they're less likely to inconveniently fold up.

Figuring out how far the heel extensions need to be.


Drilled the heels with a pin vice (pictured) and glued in cut lengths of paperclip to help anchor the extensions. The same idea as steel reinforcing rods in concrete. There's two in each heel to stop the things twisting right off.



I've just put the putty on. I'll take photos later today when it has had some time to harden..
