Figures Classified Scarlett

nighthawk · 02-25-2021, 03:28 PM

So, I saw someone post on Instagram the new Scarlett, but they painted the red stripe on the leg black. Looked really nice. I decided that I wanted to try it but to do it on the grey legs, so I took apart my Scarlett and mix and matched the parts to make this and painted the red parts black. Hasbro also left out the paint on the crotch piece cause the design goes all the way up, but they left the crotch piece all one color. I also had to paint the knee joints cause for some reason, Hasbro made them tan, which didn't even go with the design of the repainted one as that portion of her suit wouldn't be tan anyways.

So I painted the design all the way up to the top of the pants, like how it was designed based on the mold.

With Snake Eyes

Here she is with the figure with all the left over parts. Not sure what I'm gonna do with that Scarlett yet though. If anyone's interested in her, shoot me a PM and maybe we can work out a trade.

Solid work, I think this is the best color scheme for her.

I actually like the tan pants a lot more than I thought I would. That's why I originally just did this:

However, the tan knee joint at the back and also on the front when you bend her knees really bothered me. I also didn't like that they didn't continue the red paint all the way up onto the rubber briefs when it's sculpted to continue.

I eventually decided to paint the knee joint and realized it'll be impossible to find a matching red for the top of the pants. Then some a picture on Instagram with the black instead of red, and then I was sold. I was thinking that if I was gonna paint, I'd rather use the grey legs and that's how the custom was born.
