here's a custom Scarlett I thought I'd try so parts swappin on to see if she looked good. Not sure about painting the browner outfit part or leaving it that color?
What do you guys think?
Thanks Tim

I don't mind the brown, Tim. Looks good.

I'd say definately paint either the brown or the yellow as those two colors just don't mix well together, if you get my drift. I'd get rid of the yellow as I just hate that color in general, tho. I see you kept StarKiller's boot cuffs at the bottom of the thighs, but you don't color-connect them to anything so they just look like loops of fabric there for no reason. Either make the boots go up all the way, or get rid of the cuffs.

Other than that, I'm surprised the SK body works so well with Scar's limbs as I'd think them scale-incompatible. It's a nice look overall.

I agree with AV, but it's still a really cool figure.

I say paint the boots brown all the way up to the cuffs on the thighs and paint the gloves brown and change the hair color and make her a new character.

I agree with the painting of the boots and maybe paint gloves as well. I think the Purple and brown look good together but the yellow has to go. Thats one of the reasons why I dont I dont like the comic pack scarlett is because the purple and yellow dont go well together.

Paint the boots otherwise she looks like she is going to the Renn Farie....the torso has the feel to begin with but the with the bright yellow, it just screams that to me

Cool...I like Scarlett with a Robin Hood kind of feel to her. ;) Yeah, I'm in agreement, tho..I'd like to see the yellow become a slightly different shade of brown to compliment what you already used...and I would carry the boots all the way up.

I think the brown is very cool and I agree with the AV, paint the glooves and the boots. Very cool custom, I'm not familar with Starkiller, what line does she come from?

thanks guys I do agree as well about the yellow too.I just wanted to see what everyone else thought of the figure herself mostly.The boot cuff things I was thinkin about addin something to her upper thigh to make it more complete looking.I had to modify the starkiller arms to fit the scarlett lower arms actually, so I'll have to finish her up pretty soon, thanks everyone,
Tim

I like this look, Tim - I may have to find a use for that extra Starkiller torso I have now. Definitely leave it brown. Model Master makes a "Leather" in its Acryl line - that's what I'd use to cover up the yellows. Then she'd look like a total kick-ass swash-buckler.

My only critique is that the arms look way too long - like she's part spider-monkey or something. I'm sure it's due to the two different source figs for the arms. It's real evident in the second pic - she looks like she can scratch her knees without bending down. If it were me, I'd trim off about an eighth of an inch or so from the upper and lower arms (one above the elbow, one right above her gloves) and re-drill the peg holes. But that might be a huge pain in the ass. Also, I'd drop her neck down just a hair too (Dremel a deeper hole in the head) -- again- it's only noticeable in the second pic - the first pic looks awesome.

Really cool idea -- I'm gonna have to give it a try myself :D

In the 2nd pic her arms do look long which they are a little that can be fixed so I will have to fix her up,
thanks Tim
