So, never having had any iteration of Sparta, but still wanting to do something different, I drew inspiration from two things.
The first being that her secondary specialty is munitions. The second is the Spartan tale that goes to the effect of a Greek King sent for aid to Sparta, requesting 1,000 men. In turn, the King of Sparta (who may or may not have been Leonidas, per this anecdote), sends a single soldier. When the other King asks the soldier why he was sent alone, he responds, "One Spartan Solider is worth 1,000 of yours). So if you rep the name Sparta, you need to able to throw down. This desgin comes from the idea of her Con Figure as the base line, she returns to camp after undercover operations, and suits up to fuck shit up. I also wanted to use the limited female parts in a combo I hadn't seen before. Here's some shots with flash. Her hair is pretty layered- I don't well it'll show. Probably just highlight my flaws and not accentuate the depth of color:

Those parts work great for her! You’re killing it with these female builds, like you said, not the easiest thing since good parts are very limited. As always, perfect paint job, like the extra details on the pouches and armor.

Great job ax, I definitely like her more than the con version with those legs and body armor.

Really cool interpretation of Sparta! It's neat having her looked at as more than just South American Cover Girl.

Nice job! I just used the same Baroness hair on a bald female, too, but mine will be to make... the Baroness! Your paints on the figure look great!
