My custom Cover Girl in mechanic's togs, working in the Joe motor pool.

I saw a similar figure on JoeCustoms about a year ago and thought it was a great idea.
To cut a long story short, when I saw Tunnel Rat's hanging coveralls, I thought they'd be perfect for a figure like this, and finally decided to make my own quickie version.

I repainted an MU Black Widow body and a Sue Storm head.


Gratuitous panty shot. :p


I finished her fairly quickly - even with all the repainting, she only took me a couple of hours.
I hope you guys like her.

I suspected this idea was executable! Maybe if I happen across another TR.

Looks amazing Fled! I suspect the camera is her worse enemy and her skin doesn't look so rough in person. I wish I could purchase that head in the store.

Great Job Fled!!

She looks hot!

The detail on the hair is awesome! The multiple shades really stands out.

Sad but true, I was a bit disappointed that the camera showed all the blemishes.
I bought Sue off a Chinese eBay seller a few months back. I forgot which eBay store it was, though (they all look alike, to be honest). :p

Think I may use that LJ torso I have coming to try this out.

This is great! So how did you do this? I mean, did you just swap out the legs or did you have to do any cutting?

Probably chopped the TR torso off at the waist.


That's what I'd do .

I was hoping the legs and the down-turned part of the overalls would just slip onto the MU body, I'd hate to sacrifice the TR lower body...not because the TR part is so good, I just like to re-use as much as possible.

Great! Fled, if it's all right, I'd like to do a similar custom based on yours. I need a female mechanic for my Bertie Warbot.

Fled's right, I just tried the legs and coveralls on an MU Kitty Pride figure and it all works perfectly. There's a bit of slack in the coveralls/hips, but nothing a little epoxy putty, hotglue or plumbers tape can't fix.

This is a great looking figure. For some reason the overalls work better on the ladies. Nice to see it get the front page love.
