It's a Power Team Elite Navy Seal figure guy
that I decapitated and then drilled to fit.

I'll echo Jamarmiller's comment. Love Glenda (might steal the idea actually :-) ), but her hair should be blonde.

OB

That definitely works as Glenda. Gives her a far different look to Scarlett's costume. Like it a lot.

Love teh Ripcord as well. Nice to see the original rather than the RoC version.

I like the color schemes and the concepts. I don't mind the red hair on Glenda, except that by using red on the Scarlett head, it's hard to see anything but Pilot Scarlett... Only real critique would be to suggest that you thin down the flesh color paints a touch more, and use multiple thin coats. It may a trick of the camera, but something looks clumpy on her face in the one pic.

I was thinking the same thing but other than that they both look great.

Thanks!
Yeah, I see it too... maybe I can sand a little now and then
try again.

I actually don't know too much of the backstory on Glenda... is she supposed
to be red or blonde? I could go either way with this figure. Actually, looking at
her in my new Joe HQ, blonde may work better....

She's blonde.

There's little backstory beyond her Argentinian filecard. Everything there is to know about her can be found on this page and its accompanying links:
http://www.yojoe.com/action/int/arg-glenda.shtml

(she needs the blond hair, and to ditch the crossbow)

Comparison doesn't work, since the latter was done not once but twice.

It's true, though.

Ripcord not only got an ethnicity change for Rise of Cobra, but for Resolute too.
