Hi everybody. I recently found this Scarlett figure and thought that I'd do a quick custom with her. Well, the "quick custom" turned into hours of adding, tweaking, painting, carving, etc., as I kept getting ideas for her.
It's not so much the figure itself that I put a lot of work into (although this was my first attempt at hair and face painting) but her backpack demanded a lot of fiddling with. As is quickly becoming my "thing", I wanted everything to be able to store on the pack, which this does. Other than the backpack, I made a couple of custom silencers for her guns, gave her bow some much-needed string, and mounted a removable wrist blade on her. I had a great time making the figure, and would like to thank those who contributed to my "how do you paint faces?" thread. Last edited by Sciflyer; 09-10-2014 at 10:15 PM.. Reason: Added Pics |

Wow brother! I am loving every aspect of this. She looks really beautiful and deadly. I also am a big fan of storage on figures and vehicles!
This is really great! |

Thanks, Phantro! I'm happy with how she turned out and the project has inspired me to continue working on my face painting and Dremel skills.
Oh, and just in case anyone is interested, here is the recipe: Body and original head -- ROC Scarlett Masked head -- $Gen. Snake Eyes Hands -- *honestly, I don't know. These were in a pile of loose parts that I have and they seemed to be smaller/more feminine. Wrist blade -- Assassin's Creed Ezio. Backpack -- Fusion of Dark Ninja's glider pack and Retaliation Jinx's grappling hook box, with part of the original Red Ninja's backpack arrows. Bow -- $Gen. Storm Shadow. Swords -- Sneak Attack Storm Shadow. Silencers -- Painted some good 'ol Bic pens. Last edited by Sciflyer; 09-10-2014 at 10:28 PM.. Reason: Recipe |

Thanks guys! VC1, I visited a local toy store a few weeks ago and asked one of the owners if he had any loose, modern-era figures he could sell. The ROC Scarlett was among a handful of figures I bought that day, and I immediately decided to do an assassin-type figure with her. It's a great female figure for customizing, and I really appreciate that she doesn't have skinny, stick arms.
Oh, and I intend to avoid doing another backpack like this for a loooong time, lol. I'm happy with it, but it took up most of the project's time and energy. |
