Thanks 46Z! I do like what you did with Resolute torso. I've got a spare and would like to mess with it using the WM Retro Legs and head. However I didn't think finding extras would be such a hassle. In my mind I pictured tons of pegwarmers everywhere, like Stars Wars TVC Rey and that bad guy...
I think it's kind of funny that we switch the legs (resolute legs swapped for retro legs). People thinks we be nuts, but there is a noticeable height difference (though being the same sculpt detailing). I still don't know if anyone else but you and I believes this!

Great job on Scarlett. Your mods to the 25th torso make it the perfect choice for an "ultimate" Scarlett. I'm still not sold on the Resolute hairpiece though. If it's not glued, you might look at how the 25th hairpiece looks. The Resolute hair just looks too thick to me. Everything else though is amazing!
However ...
Everything you said and every picture you posted about Scarlett was instantly eclipsed by that group photo of Stalker, Scarlett, and Snake Eyes. As soon as I saw that picture of Stalker, I honestly lost all interest in Scarlett, and am now about to search back through this thread for info on Stalker.
I can pretty much make out the build, but the thing that stands out to me is that you Dremelled the beret off of Renegades/POC Stalker and added an MTF(?) beret. This is very interesting! Very interesting indeed!! I am slowly but surely working on my re-vamped O13, and I love that POC Stalker face sculpt (not the braided ponytail though), but I'm on the fence about the odd-shaped beret. I think you've given me the perfect solution!!
Great work as usual.
Jason
Thanks Jason. Stalker was back done back in the day:
Stalker [Bonus Takes] (post #112)
. I recently (and quickly) slapped light green for his basic camo look for my Ripcord post. He use to have a 50th Falcon beret, but decided to keep that Falcon intact. I'm not sure where I got that latest beret--maybe it came off a loose figure I bought in the last year, and just might be MTF. It fits all right for this figure (better on this figure than others I've tried).
Webgear was also switched, as Roadblock needed his webgear again. It's from Raginspoon, has the right height, not too busy or bulky, but is a bit wide with the straps. I actually bought it as a potential replacement gear for Roadblock, but it didn't work out on the torso.
The 2007 Scarlett hairpiece is too small--it doesn't fit at all, even on what seems to be a small head. Thanks for the suggestion though, you'd think I would've tried it already (only did so when I read your suggestion).

Thanks Fred, I mean to try the Retro head on this body if I ever find extras. Unmodified it sits ridiculously high on the neck and body. I don't want to mess with my one, as I've got that head tight and where I want it on the WM Retro body. The hair is a bit big on the CO head--it threw me off when I first tried it. But after a while, it starts to look more normal. Then after a while while, the hair on the 25th and WM Retro hairdos begins to look too short, almost 50s style. That's what I'm talking about when I say I may be eyeblind to it by now--so it's good to see these comments (and see if I can tweak it further to dial back the perceived difference in size of the pieces). Thanks for the suggestion: I'll try it out on my forthcoming repaint extra--if I ever find extras...

You need to keep coming back more and more, so you will make even more awesome customs that will inspire me--keep feeding the loop! Thanks DS!
