I apologise in advance for these pics. I just finished repainting my Avengers Black Widow, and being a fan of Scarlett Johansson, I just had to pose her with my recently-acquired Marauder weapons.

Nothing special about this thread, it's just pure girl-with-guns fetishism on my part, so please allow me to indulge. :D

Enough talk, here are the pics.

FN SCAR


HK UMP45


Modular M4


HK G36


M240, flanked by Barrett M82 and CheyTac M200


Extended-mag Glock 18s


AA12


FOS


FOS (with courtesy ass shot)


Kriss Vector SMG


BBI M249 SAW


Not a gun, but can be just as lethal - the BanHammer!


Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Wow. That likeness is striking. Nice work!

Now, how about a Kate Beckinsale (Underworld) with some more goodies... :D

Great pictures! This black widow figure is too expensive in China,around USD20, I cannot afford it.

I got her loose on eBay for that much, including shipping. Too much for a single figure, but she's rare, and I wanted a mini Scarlett Johansson to call my own. :D

I admit I regretted paying that much when I saw the awful "duck lips" factory paint, but I was able to fix that. She's one of my favourites now.

That BBI SAW doesn't look nearly as huge as it does with everything else. I know they had a smaller version that was almost exactly 1/18 in the Combat Command but that one looks quite swell indeed.

Love it!

What else did you repaint? Looks like you might've touched up the hair with a wash or something . . . made it darker? How did you fix the "duck lips" look? I have a BW that I'm working on (thanks again to Monkey Wrench!), but her face paint seems to have been applied just about perfectly (no duck lips application and the eyes are 100%) by the 'Bro.

What are your plans for her holsters? I'm cookin' up some rings n' slings type thing + I'm currently waiting for a Marauder's order too!

Well... I do like the figure! Just bought one for $20 shipped.

Standard M249 equates to 2.27in. How does that BBI version stack up? The Bravo version is just a hair under, but it's my go-to.

These are the ones from the Elite Forces weapon packs and they're gigantic. If I had to put either one on in the hands of a female figure, it would look even worse.



This one is almost exactly the same but is apart of the Combat Command line. I wonder if they ever used this scaled one anywhere else. This is after being repainted of course.

Looks like I ended up with the only dud one. :)
I posted this in the One-Shot thread a couple days ago:

It's 1:10AM here and I can't sleep, so I figured I'd share this quickie job I did on ScarJo's face (heh-heh-heh).

Before and after shots (I hope it works, Photofuckit is being a bitch):


The duck lips were hideous, so I mixed a flesh tone to match the factory paint and just went around her lip area with a 5/0 brush. I also repainted the sloppy neckline. I added subtle shading to her face and neck with a slightly darker skin tone, then added highlights to her pupils and a dark wash to her hair.

I'm quite happy with her now.

I'll probably use her holsters on my custom Lara Croft.

Do you mean this one?


Comparison shot of all the SAWs I have:

Bottom left is Atco Combat Force, and I think (EDIT: erroneously, as it turns out) is the only SAW Paratrooper in this scale (but I think is actually an FN Minimi, although I could be wrong), bottom right is PTE. All the rest are BBI.

I've got 3 that are different from BBI. There's a tan 249 Para with the aluminum rail stock, another one with the standard stock and added scope, and then the Combat Command one that looks very similar to the starlight scoped one on the right. I really miss this stuff. Right at the end of their modern line, BBI really started to make some nice detailed items.

All of the others are sadly like that giant tan one on the left. I think when they made those, they confused them with the M240 because their M240 is exactly the same length.

Nah, it's cool.

At least you didn't call a rotary cannon a chain gun.
