Amazing! Quick question? Who is Swann?

[rateeg]

Thanks.
Oops, sorry...Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Carribean.

[GI Flow]

Elizabeth Swann from Pirates?

[GI Flow]

how did you do the glasses?

[rateeg]

G1 Flow - Sculpted the glasses using epoxy putty. Takes a lot of time forming it tho. :)

here's a pic:

I have to say out of all of the customs I've seen that head looks flawless. I would never of recognized her. Which Swann head is this? I would like to give it a try my self. Also did you repaint her outfit?

[kimiyo]

I guess the hair is putty too?

[GI Flow]

Wow that is very meticulous. Nice work bro.

[GI Flow]

hair: putty or 25th baroness?

[rateeg]

ripped it off and superglued it onto the singapore costume swann head.

no, that just looks like the hair from the 25th Baroness figure.

[kimiyo]

While looking at your B4 and after pictures the final product is amazing!

[miked]

I just absoloutly love this thing. i already took followed your lead on my Scarlett figure and the Baroness is not far behind- great job!

[xhairs]

man she rocks way better then hasbros. keep up the great work.

[OUTBACK]

that face is 100X better than the stock one.

[Captain Hydra]

Looks great. I especially like the glasses. I never would have thought that the swan head could make such a convincing baroness. Much better then the hasbro version.

[Driftbot]

brilliant!
she has a much higher hairline, like the baroness really does. i think that makes this figure. instantly recognizable!
THAT is the BARONESS!
great job man. your work is incredible.

[BigErn]

Awesome man, way better than Hasbro's.

[VIPER 48]

Nice work. Who would have though, Elizabeth Swann's head would look good on the Baroness...

[DaViper]

That IS the baroness, hands down! Awesome job man!

[havok15]

told ya guys!! this guy is an amazing customizer!! wait till you see more of his joe customs...

[lance858a]

For some reason, I just felt like checking out some super old threads and came upon this one. I saw pics of this Baroness a long, long time ago on a website far, far away.

THIS IS THE CUSTOM THAT STARTED ME DOWN THE CUSTOMIZING ROAD!

So for that, I'd like to thank Rateeg. All this time, I had no idea you were the guy behind this figure. It's b/c of you, the world now has a Zartan disguised as Hitler, a variety of WWII Baronesses, WWII 101st Airborne Flint, and the entire Rebel Angel customs.

If you reply to this post in the next 5 minutes, I will send you one of my custom female heads (of your choice) for free as my way of saying thanks.

[Black Swan]

That's a sweet Baroness. The pics reminds me of G.I. JOE ARAH # 23 with the Baroness in Italy when she and Maj. Bludd extort CC for trying to kill Destro.

[lance858a]

To Rateeg,

PM me if you want me to send you something anyways. I bow down and call you masta.

Seriously though, this is what you've inspired me to do (not trying to hi-jack this thread, as if I could)...

They all have one thing in common. They all have the Elizabeth Swan face. So thanks again dude. Finding this thread was like a return to Mecca for me.

[CliffSteele]

Now THAT's The Baroness!

[turner]

Wow, completely incredible work on the glasses! I'm blown away!

[timshinn73]

Fantastic work! Really dig it!

[Joecom]

Awesome!!!! Best Baroness ever!

[meeko]

Great job man !

[ero]

Easily the best Baroness head out there. Outstanding!

Wow.
Thanks for the compliment bro, i didn't realize that i can inspire people with my works. Really appreciated.
Sorry i wasn't able to reply asap 'cause i was quite so busy at work.
I'm replying not in 5 minutes, but more than 5 hours.
It's up to you if you still want me to send a fantastic head from you.
Thank you. Rock on! \m/

i personally feel, like most, that the 5 pack v2 Baroness has the best (Baroness) head sculpt ever.

i do like however your take on this one... very crafty.

I liked that Baroness too, but sometimes, she looks like a racoon to me. I'm actually glad Hasbro seems to have trouble mass producing good looking female faces. It made me want to do my own Baroness face. Then seeing Rateeg's Baroness convinced me that it was possible. And then finding Hisstank was a huge help b/c customizers here tend to share helpful tips and recipes. Imagine, where would we be without the Tank?!!

[Beckley]

Awesome upgrade, I have passed on all previous Baroness' in the hopes Hasbro will one day make one as cool as this.

[CutieCutie]

I like!!!

[arashikage tat]

that definitely works

[Sgt Humpty]

I never would have recognized the head on my own. This is a really awesome figure. And as for the inspiration thing, I take inspiration from all the customizers here at the Tank!
