She's mostly just a repaint. ROC Cover Girl, with the cheeks/jawline sanded a bit, Indiana Jones jacket, and taking a cue from Veronica Mars; I used ROC Baroness's hair. She's inspired by V1 C-Girl, but far from slavishly accurate. (Hair's too long, for one thing.) I was gonna swap out the arms, but I decided that I like the short sleeves. They make more sense for some one who's as much at home under the hood of an armored vehicle, as in the driver's seat.

Having messed around with a few different head/hair combos, I can tell you that ROC Cover Girl's hair isn't flattering on any head. The hair did a lot more to improve the looks of that head, than the sanding I did on it.

She looks great. The arms actually work really well with the two-toned, rolled-up look.

Thanks. With that being a jacket, the rolled up parts of the sleeves had to be a different color.

Most current Cover Girl customs step away from the original hiar color of the original figure, changing it to either blonde or brown. I like that you kept it close to the same color.

I very much dig this look for Covergirl.

About the only thing that's not working for me is the head, specifically the face. Not your fault...Hasbro just made her fugly.

A former fashion model deserves a prettier mug. Swap out that "Jessica Simpson post mallet to the face" noggin she's got for another and this'll be aces.
