Post subject: | Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? |
Carmen Sandiego A former child prodigy, Carmen Isabella Sandiego was once the top rated agent of Interpol with an unparalleled solved case rate. Between her eye for detail and her almost encyclopedic knowledge, she closed every case she was assigned, leading her to the cold cases as she endeavored to find an adversary worthy of her skill. It is unclear what occurred, but Carmen took a leave of absence and disappeared. Eight months after Carmen's disappearance, a new syndicate appeared in western Europe. They managed to steal a plethora of priceless artifact and leave no trace of their presence. It wasn't until 3 months later that a sting operation finally caught sight of the ringleader, Carmen Sandiego herself. Discovering the thrill of the perfect caper, Carmen's theft's escalated, the more heavily protected an artifact, the greater the appeal. She has an almost supernatural sense for traps, avoiding ever one Interpol and other police agencies have placed. Despite her new criminal activities, Carmen does appear to have a code of conduct. She does not use firearms or weapons, she goes out of her way to avoid injury to any guards or persons pursuing her, and the money from the sales of her stolen goods always go to charities, usually orphanages. Recipe: Hat: two Indiana Jones fedoras combined Head: Illsa from Indiana Jones series with hair from Cover Girl Body: Baroness- Paris Pursuit Legs: Baroness- Attack on the Pit I went with the red hair for Carmen as her design seems to change in every game and black hair is too stereotypical of a villianess. |

Dude that is one sweet ass custom. I think she would work well in the Joe verse. Like a agent of Cobra. |

Kid's show? You never played the classic computer games? Chaosx, I sliced the top off the fedora of a regular Indy figure and the brim off the removable fedora, then glued the brim onto the fedora top to make a large brimmed regular sized hat. Took some trial and error to get it right, then I filled the seam with Apoxie. |

Wow. I had actually wanted to do this character... but I don't think I could have done it NEARLY as well. That's perfect. |

Awesome. Very glad you went with her computer game/game show look instead of the look from that awful cartoon. This thread is incomplete without: (Meanwhile, while I was trying to find that, I discovered that the lady who played the chief on the game show died in 2003. That makes me strangely sad.) |

Darko, you forgot this: (I'd forgotten she had black hair in the cartoon) |

Awesome, great combo of parts, and really fantastically smooth paint. I was starting to think we wouldn't get to see her face..... also I had that game for the sega master system, and I hated it. I'd always get five or six countries in then Bam she was on the other side of the world. |
