She's mostly just a repaint. ROC Cover Girl, with the cheeks/jawline sanded a bit, Indiana Jones jacket, and taking a cue from Veronica Mars; I used ROC Baroness's hair. She's inspired by V1 C-Girl, but far from slavishly accurate. (Hair's too long, for one thing.) I was gonna swap out the arms, but I decided that I like the short sleeves. They make more sense for some one who's as much at home under the hood of an armored vehicle, as in the driver's seat.
Having messed around with a few different head/hair combos, I can tell you that ROC Cover Girl's hair isn't flattering on any head. The hair did a lot more to improve the looks of that head, than the sanding I did on it. |

She looks good.
An entire face paint would make this a homerun. |

Great job. The ROC version does suck, bad. Your hair swap looks fantastic though, and saves an otherwise ghoulish head!
I plan on using my TRU "Dial Tone" torso as a base since the body's already that camel color, but this isn't a bad recipe to follow. I've been dying to find a DTC Krieger jacket, but I may end up doing the Indy route, as it doesn't look bad. Great job, especially on the quality of the paint job and the parts usage. |

That head and hair do look good together. I was just thinking earlier that the original RoC Cover Girl hair is just horrible... it really looks bad. I do find it interesting that the Hasbro figure looks a lot like the "real" CG, if you paint her the right colors. Those movie designs weren't as unfaithful as they appear at first glance, but light blue camo all over really has a way of hiding the costume design.

Thanks everyone!
Rateeg, I hate painting faces, so that probably won't happen. |
