Latest update in post #22.
As some you may know I have been working on a female Cobra trooper for some time. My very first attempt used a Bombstrike torso, but I had too many problems with parts compatibility. My second attempt was with a version 1 Scarlett torso. It was coming out nice, but again the choice of heads would be too limited. Because of that I began my third attempt using a Jinx torso. I have the torso about 90% complete. Some sanding and a little amount of work around the gun are necessary. I also need to do the straps on the back, but those are very simple. The attachments below show me current progress. After the torso is complete it will be time to paint her up. I am using regular trooper legs, Zarana waist, and Jinx arms. I don't plan to make any modifications to those. I still haven't figures out what to do for the head yet. Last edited by Falcone; 08-18-2013 at 05:54 AM.. |

Side by side comparison with a male trooper, and with all the parts.

I've got the mold ready, and the first piece made. The second pic the part is painted blue. The paint I used is old so it left some lumps, so those are the paint and not part of the piece.

Looks good. She's a bit shorter, apparently it's the waist piece that dictates the height? I couldn't tell if the torso is shorter too.

The waist is much shorter, and the torso is slightly shorter.

Finally got around to working on this again. I decided to use an actual female head and give her a removable helmet. The head in nearly complete. The back of the mask needs sanding and the connection between the pony tail and head needs to be made. I've also done some cleaning up of the torso, but that's not pictured. All that really remains now is the straps on the back of the torso, the belt on the waist, and the helmet. I don't know what type of style I want to give the helmet yet, plus helmets are difficult to do, so I might not be finished with it when I consider the figure completed.
