This has been a WIP for a few months. I've kinda given up on my dream of 40th reboxed figures (One More New Figure: Last Request for Hasbro - HissTank.com), heeded the advice of others, and set on building my on 40th Anniversary Scarlett.
I think at this point, I've settled with the final pieces and colors and wanted to see how it looks in photos. This is a test figure--a rather recent and unfortunate downgrade. As I finally got the legs painted and matte finished, and reassembling to the body, the leg joint snapped at the hip. Apparently the legs aren't the best fit to the body. They look right together but are very tight. I've got extra body fodder on the way to build another and will put this first one in the 25th display box. 2020-03-19_11-38-46 by HissHissFangFang, on Flickr H Upper body, upper arms: Renegades Scarlett Head: Retaliation Lady Jaye Legs, lower arms, crossbow: Resolute Scarlett Bandolier: 25th Ripper Backpack: Cast from Retaliation Zartan Belt: POC Hawk Grenades: ROC Helix (from back of belt) Colors: Boots, gloves, vest: Testors Wood Body Suit: Testors Grun RLM, finished with lots of Vallejo Matte Varnish Bandolier and belt: Testors Leather Hair: Army Painter Tanned Flesh with a hint of Vallejo Flat Red Straps: Testors Dark Grey Notes: -I have been going back and forth between the Renegades Scarlett and Retaliation Lady Jaye head. I only have one of each at this point, so will use the alternate on the second try. -This took a while because I was first looking for the right combo of parts and gear, trying to get a balance of geared-up and streamlined/slick. -Getting satisfied with the right colors also took a while. After the body parts, belt and bandolier were assembled in their original colors, I wasn't seeing a good color pattern to use at first and went through several iterations. Lots of rubbing alcohol was needed... 2020-03-20_02-48-59 by HissHissFangFang, on Flickr -The Dark Grey on the straps was a last minute add. The paint has a subtle violet hue to it, and may work well as the base body suit color. On my second try for this figure, I may try switching the grey and Grun RLM (super dark green) -There really wasn't much part modding on this figure, other than bandolier/backpack and grenades. I wanted a proof of concept of an easy rebuild (using existing tooling) and repaint of Scarlett for my 40th 5-pack box idea. But I need to investigate what happened with the leg... -The parts for the 2nd figure should be in Friday. I hope to get the 2nd figure turned out next week, then get more pictures in the 25th display box as well as with 30th Snake Eyes+Stalker and my revised POC Snake Eyes+Stalker. 2020-03-20_12-16-58 by HissHissFangFang, on Flickr

That is freaking amazing! One of the best, if not THE best, Scarlett figure i've seen. You always manage to impress.

Isn’t that head from Retaliation Lady Jaye? Looks amazing regardless!

Ok, first, how did I miss that post in 2019 with the JoyToy figures?! Nice!
Secondly, that Scarlett looks great! I think what I like the best is the subtle nod to the vintage figure with the red on the bandoleer/strap. Nice job on the parts and especially painting that Lady Jaye head. Jason |
