Re: Stinger Driver:
This is a great take on the figure. The darker grey you use helps to blend these guys in more with the 82 to 84 figures, and reminds me of that sharp looking vehicle gunner from the Target Battle Pack. I myself really wanted to go with a darker grey with my sets, but for reasons I felt I had to stay closer to the originals--so I enjoy seeing how the darker version would actually look like.
Also, much gratitude for the how-to, and sources for the helmet and torso--I did not know about these great pieces. I have ordered from Vort but that took more than 2 months to ship--but at least they did ship.
The legs look fine as shown--but the modern line has spoiled us with neat leg straps and holsters and hip pouches. I guess if you line up a bunch of your figures together, you may want to change them up--but maybe leave them as shown for a little variety as well (the kneepads are better, and the feet are better for standing)?
Re: Baroness: I like your first version the best! Probably no surprise because it's the most classic based, but mostly because it has the best head+hair combo for the body. My aesthetic prefers a smaller head in relation to the body, but I think the larger volume of hair balances things out. Also looks the best when doing the squint-eye test.
The second version looks fun, and is a good test show for the MTF head. My suggestion would be to hit the light grey with some wash (to get a match with your greys from the Stinger Driver), and may gear her up more as a nod to the never released ponytailed POC concept version?
