ROC Arctic Scarlet Challenge: Who can do it first?

My arctic team is growing. I've got my Snake-eyes, Breaker, Ripcord from the movie, Frostbite, my fixed Icestorm & I've got snowboarding Duke, POC Snowjob and a Whiteout coming.

Now, I put forth to all you great customizing 'Tanker gods a Challenge!

I'd love to see a ROC movie accurate Scarlett.

I've even got the parts to use in mind:

Arctic Snake Eyes vest - to be modified
Covert Operations Scarlett head - (the blue camo Scarlet with ponytail)
Paris Pursuit Storm Shadow legs and feet
Either PP SS or the Arctic SE for arms & hands - depending which looks more feminine.

Problem is, I have no idea how to modify the Arctic SE hood and vest to fit a female form. My custom skills are in it's infancy. Minimal painting the better.

I'd love to see one of you guys/gals apply or improve on the recipe!

Cheers!

BTW, our fellow 'Tanker Nighthawk called it. Arctic Joes are DAMN addictive!

Yeah, they are damn addictive. That's why I stay away from them. Oh how I wish I still had my arctic squad. :(

I love Arctic figs too, cant get enough of them, i think it all started when i saw Han and Luke on Hoth in all that snow, lol.

I stuck camo Scarlett's head on an Arctic Assault Snake Eyes after reading this just to see what she would look like, its not too bad, had to cut the ponytail off though.

She doesn't look to "husky" being the same stature as the fellas?

If you wouldn't mind posting some pics... since you already cut off her ponytail and all.

I'd love to get an idea of the scale of the gear on her.

I'm gonna have to start on an artic team, but I'm just not sure how big to make it. It's gonna be the remnants of a larger force following Cobra to Antartica in a race to cut off the Cobra expedition that is heading for a large inland mountain range. They're gonna be cutoff with limited supplies trying to stop Cobra at all costs.

Heres the pic of Arctic Scarlett, she matches Ripcord and SE, i sanded off all the black paint on SE's head, he looks better now, imo. Sorry if the pics are blurry. Im no good with my camera.





I still want more AA SEs for Duke, Breaker and a few others. I dont really like that PoC Arctic Duke that much.

AWESOME! Can't wait to see them.

How about 2 arctic Rockslides, 2 Ice Dagger and however many Joes fit inside the vehicles? Rockslide is 1 each and I believe the Ice Dagger seats 5 (two in the cockpit, one in the gunners seat and 2 hitching a ride in the back. Right?).

That'd be plenty.

Thanks for putting up the pics!

She doesn't look bad at all. I think I'll still monkey around with mixing parts with PP SS and see if she looks a little more slender.

I went right out and picked up another Scarlett, but dammit! Suddenly all the Arctic SE are sold out :(

I checked 2 Walmarts, 2 Toys R USs and a couple of Zellers too.

I guess I'll swap out my arctic Breaker with the parts and see what I can come up with. I really want to be able to taper that arctic jacket to really make her look more female.

Thanks again Steve!
