Hey all!
Here's the latest of several customs i have in the works...Nara Burns from Exo-Squad. My parts list is comprised of V/V Scarlett head and arms, V/V Baroness torso heavily modded and Mara Jade comic-pack waist, legs and holster. A little explanation behind the custom, I was planning to make a Nara using mostly various Scarlett parts. I picked up the Mara Jade comic pack to use in making a RE Ada Wong figure (but the figs too short). So after playing around with parts for a while, I saw that the combo would make for a good Nara. She's a bit shorter than my J.T. custom for a couple reasons...1.she is younger (late teens, early 20's ) and 2. I'm hope to acquire a Mantis mech to turn into her E-Frame. As always, let me know what you think.

I'd love to see all the mechs redone. She looks good, but the chest could use a wee bit smoothing out. Neat idea and love the classic colors.

Thanks for the response DW. Yeah, I still need to buff her armor out a bit and add the Exo-fleet logo to her shoulder. Just wanted to put her out there for some feedback. And that's what you've given me, thanks!

Add another figure to the customs I never thought I would see.
She looks great TR, you planning on doing any more exo-squad figures?

Great job on her. I love the idea. Are you going to have the 'jack socket' in the back of her head?

You really did catch the feel of the Exo Force on this one.

Thanks guys. To answer a couple questions...I plan on making the socket on her neck, paint the fleet insigina on her shoulder and sand her chest a bit (sounds dirtier now that I typed it.) I'm hoping to either use the Iron Mech or if I can find a Mantis mech for her e-Frame. I'm already in the planning stages for Wolf Bronski and Alec Deleon. For the Neos, I'm either going to scratch build a head to cast and duplicate of see if JFAK can enlarge on of the originals. Biggest question so far is what sized body to use for the Neos. I'm considering SHS Venoms (may be too bulky and pricey to find) or mod some Sgt. Savage figs (I think the height will be just about right). Feel free to leave your input.

I loved that show. Sweet rendition! Some hobby files, or medium grit sand paper would smooth out the sculpting imprints easily, and is pretty cost effective.

Yeah, that will definitely look excellent once she's smoothed out. That paint scheme would look much better on a smooth figure.
