Hey there hisstank!
I finally got the tax return in the mail, so today I hit up a Walmart with hopes of finding the Tunnelrat / Monkeywrench two-pack. No luck, but I saw that they had the toys I needed to make a custom Jinx and so I jumped on it. Parts used: Head: Arctic Assault Stormshadow Torso, arms, and upper legs: Attack on GI Joe Pit Baroness Lower legs: Rex "the doctor" Lewis pistols came from the baroness mentioned above. Sword from Arctic Assault Stormshadow. Claw from Firefly/Stormshadow comic two-pack. I used citadel paint for the red on her costume. Unfortunately I got a bit on her face so I will have to go back and clean that up. I also need a way to permanently get rid of the silver cobra logo on her chest (I colored over it with a felt tip pen prior to taking the photos as a temporary measure). I was a bit dismayed to discover that Baroness' back lacks a peg-hole for backpacks, so Jinx currently has no way to store her sword! I'm thinking of either drilling a hole for the scabbards that came with stormshadow, or just cutting the peg off and supergluing the scabbards on. Also, I need to put on another (cleaner) layer of red paint since it still looks splotchy. Anyway, what do you guys think? Be gentle, this is my first custom!

Creative use of parts my friend! Looks very nice. I gotta say I had my reservations about that head when I saw your parts list, but it works well!

thanks!
You know, to be honest, I was a bit iffy on the head and still am. It looks pretty good at any distance except up close; I think my problem with it (and the heads of RoC covergirl and baroness) is that the jawline is simply too square, but I'm not sure I trust myself to potentially destroy the only head I have for this figure.. Maybe I'll get a custom head from Trigate. |
