Depth Charge
« Reply #36 on: November 29, 2011, 12:39:53 PM »

Not sure how many people remember him, but just for those who have forgotten or don't know, here's Depth Charge V1: YOJOE.COM | Depth Charge

He is listed as an UDT specialist.  For me, that's too limited.  I wanted him to have some land use as well.  We see enough of his face to see that he is blonde so that's why I used the DTC Lowlight head.  Here he is updated and fit for modern warfare. :)

Nice Sundance. Another reference to MW2.  :)

The figure also looks excellent.

Scarlett and Covergirl
« Reply #39 on: December 06, 2011, 12:45:23 PM »

Here is my second take at the Resolute Scarlett. I found the 25th head I used last time too small.  This time I modded a single pack Lady Jaye head and put the Resolute Scarlett hair on.

Also, I felt it silly that she didn't come with a quiver with arrows so I gave her the 25th version's belt over top of the ROC one.








Since I can't afford the club subscription Cover Girl, here is Cover Girl for my collection.  I know the head skin tone doesn't 100% match the neck but the flash makes it worse.  If I ever get around to painted the flesh tone, then I will paint it to match the DTC Cover Girl head and modify that head to fit, but for now, I'm happy with this.  Also, I don't really have a need for the wrist articulation right now, so I'm leaving it as is for now.  Maybe in the future, if I find suitable hands, I might modify them to add wrist articulation.

I really like the Scarlett you did. That head helps a lot.

The Cover Girl I'm not sold on. Her head looks too big and the figure just doesn't feel right. I've never tried this but do you know if you can boil and pop JvC arms apart like you can with the 25th stuff? If so, I suggest removing the lower part of her arms for spare bare skin lower arms, then using epoxy puddy at the end of the up arms and making a small ring, to indicate where the sleeves from her coat are rolled up.  Paint the puddy he same color as the fur on inside as her coat (where the zipper should be) anf that would tie the figure together.

That's just a suggestion. Different strokes for different folks and all that.  ;)

Thanks for the comments.  Yeah, the arms can be boil and popped on hers.  I do actually plan to cut off the hands and modify it for articulated wrists when I figure out for sure which head to use.  I have to paint her neck area.  The head on there right now matches ok colour wise in person.  However, the DTC Cover Girl's skin tone is way off so I'm debating whether to paint and use that head or keep this head before I decide what hands to put on.

The only reason I made this was because I was bored and I was left with a Python CG that had no weapons belt or head. 

That being said, I'm still looking for a Python CG backpack and any CG belt.  Please let me know if you can help me out with that.

Anyways, here's a LBC of just spare parts basically.  Like I said, I had the parts and I can't think of any use for it so I just cobbled it together.  Please don't flame me if it sucks...haha.  Didn't bother putting a gun in the holster cause the sword is there already and it'll get in the way of him accessing anything there.

Don't take this the wrong way, but when I saw the red helmet on the Python patrol Crimson guard torso it immediately reminded me of Ronald McDonald, and now it's stuck in my head: Ronald McDonald is a Crimson Guard!!!!!

Why did you have to do this to me Nighhawk LOL?!  ;D

LOL!  Gee...thanks for the visual.  I never saw that until you mentioned it.  Now his silver faceplate is reminding me of Ronald McDonald's white face!

This colour scheme for CC was my favourite.  I finally managed to get the new POC CC head and helmet and slapped it on the hooded CC.  I also swapped out his hands so both hands are open.

That's a great idea! I'll have to do that with mine.
