I mentioned in a couple other threads that my collecting style is one in which I want the closest possible vintage versions of my classified figures, some of which requiring minor customization. Some are very small changes, others a bit more substantial. The least of the changes includes this one to Lady Jaye, which simply involved the removal of her knife sheath from her belt to her ankle like the vintage figure:

Another alteration involved the heavy artillery Roadblock: I drybrushed a bit of orange onto his pants, brightened up the camo pattern, gave him Stalker?s holster and knife sheath (though they are backwards since they were on the opposite legs of Stalker than on the vintage version of Roadblock), and dry brushed green onto his gloves.

And for the recent Stalker, I removed his holster and knife sheath and gave them to Roadblock, painted his boots and weapon belts black, and dry brushed more green onto his beret. I also gave his entire uniform a dry brush of a jungle green color, to bring out a little bit more lush green than the subdued colors of the production version.

Nice work. The colors really capture that classic authenticity.

Thanks! So here?s another one: Cobra officer. I removed the extra belt, painted the black patches on his uniform blue, and gave a subtle lighter blue dry brushing across his entire uniform.

Just finished alterations to Zartan: I removed the gauntlets off his forearms and dremeled it down to a normal silhouette, drybrushed brown/purple onto his pants and hood, spraypainted his knife blade chrome, removed his knife belt and put the sheath on his right boot, carefully painted a little yellow onto his eyes, and painted a little mod podge onto his armor parts for some shine.

This is a great thread... I 100% love your upgrades.
This is one of my minor alterations... I took the head off of the marvel legends wasp. (super cheap figure), and took her hair off, put her head on lady jaye and popped on lady jayes hair. it fit perfectly. Both the Hair and neck peg fits 100%. Last edited by CNR1993; 12-13-2022 at 02:37 AM.. |

Thanks, and wow, her head looks great on Jaye’s body! I changed the pics above for Stalker and Roadblock with better ones also. By the way, more substantial changes were made to Flint and Spirit, who I have in their own threads, but just in case, here they are:

Pony tail added. Ponytail carved from wasp hair. Original wasp hair... So I used the face (wasp marvel legends) for my Lady Jaye... And then I took the hair carved it down making a loop/ponytail. The loop slips over the neck peg of the baroness, and the helmet holds it in place. So this post is to point out the ponytail! Minor mod!... I ride so seeing the baroness without a ponytail seemed wrong. |
