Yes, the body was a dubbing loop of material from FTD. It's a rather coarse dubbing with rubber leg chunks, flash, and hair. Very difficult to make a dubbing noodle with, but I've discovered it's wonderful in a spun loop and able to be palmered back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
