Thanks for the comment xhairs!

While kiddo was out with hubby today I took on a mini project and gave Scarlett a makeover. She really seems to be the one figure he plays with the most, and that's kind of cool to me, so I wanted to make her special for him. And she bugged me. LOL.

I think she's a great figure and I don't have any major nitpicks about her body, but the head needed some help. She was too plain, her chin was too pointy, and her ponytail forced her head to always look slightly down making her seem like she was slouching. And she couldn't hold her crossbow if her life depended on it!

There's really nothing new here, but I boiled her hands and closed them up and she holds her weapon tightly now:

Image

I shaved down her chin a little so it wasn't so pointy and then repainted her face. There was also that little "bump" of hair above her right eye that just didn't look right to me. So I cut that off and pumped up her blah hair color a little bit, too.

Image

I also boiled her head and shifted the ponytail some so she can actually look straight forward. No more bad posture!

Image

I even finished her before kiddo got home and she's back in her place in his room...tho he hasn't seen her yet and doesn't know I did all this. ;)

Someone should put a pop eye head on Shipwreck... he's like the Epitome of gay sailor cliche.

I can't get waterslide transfers to look that good. That's motoviper/iwbeta good.

This may be some of the best work I've ever seen in 1:18.

So good it brought me out of lurker mode. :shifty:

Really nice work on these, Mac.

I particularly like the grapple accessory oin jShippy, but the facial mods to both are fantastic.
