Like Neo, ths project was started ages ago .... see expedient as always :-). I got stuck at the outfit stage. I wanted Trinity's oufit to be made from a leathery, body conforming material that wouldn't hinder her articulation. The pleather used by Toy Biz just doesn't work. If you look at the FC Hugh Jackman Wolverine, you'll notice that while the pleather conforms nicely to his body, it reduces his range of motion by 50-60 percent. Even a loosely fitted Halle Berry Storm shows a reduction in her range of movement by 35-40%. The problem lies in the pleather material itself. It's 1.5-2mm thick and doesn't stretch very much. I found the solution during a golf outing. It turns out the inside lining to my Calloway bag over is made from an Ultra thin leathery material. A quick search of a discount golf shop and I was able to track down a similar cover for less than $3. The material isn't as shinny as Trinity's outfit, but I actually like it better this way. What I really like about the material is that it scrunches up when you bend the hips or knees just like real leather would.

The body was modified to increase the level of articulation at the knees and elbows. I also added more muscles to her inner thigh as well as reducing the length of her arms and legs. I also increased the diameter of her neck and sculpted new boots.

The outfit is based on ending battle scene minus the overcoat. I also gave her a short leather jacket since the openning fight scene with the jump kick is one of my favorite.
