Scarlett
This one's been through a lot of iterations as I experimented with different bodies, different approaches to her leotard/body armor, and other accessories, etc. I ultimately landed on a BFS build, using a modified blank torso and arms and legs from a female orc figure (thank you, Vitruvian Armory!) The gauntlets and shin guards are also BFS while the rest of the gear is MTF. The head is a Gal Gadot cast from Spartan118 (once again, painted by me, which is why it's a little less than perfect). I generally hate soft goods on 1/18 figures, but having looked at a few other options, I decided to see how fabric would work for the leotard/armor/whatever and ultimately felt pretty good about the results. It has a texture that I don't love, and it's gotten a little stretched out as I've been working with it, so it's not quite as form-fitting as I'd prefer, but For the most part, I think it works. I cut up an MTF shoulder rig for the... uh, shoulder rig. Since there are no mounting points on the BFS legs, I cut the straps off of MTF knee pads and attached them to an MTF holster and knife sheath.
Since I'm only posting one figure in this round, I'm tossing in a bonus look. I always hated that my Joes had to hang around their base in full combat gear. So, Scarlett here gets a more relaxed option for her off-hours.
