Base Figure:Black Widow
Height:6.00 inches

I wanted to make a movie style Widow that had the lighter strawberry blonde colored red hair from the Winter Soldier movie, but the messier, shorter curly hair from the Avengers and Iron Man 2.

I also wanted her holsters to be functional and for her to have weapons.

I solved those problems by resculpting her hair to a mid length messier style that isn't straight and flat but has body and waves to it. Next I added 2 working holsters to her thighs and sculpted areas to hold them better against her body. The new holsters are completely functional and hold most Legends scale pistols.

Once sculpted I repainted several sections of the figure to incorporate an authentic feel that seemed like it stepped off the screen.

She was given 2 pistols which are hand painted with a gunmetal finish to give them a realistic look. I wanted her to have an assault rifle, so I found a good one in the fodder bin and repainted it. The assault rifle can be held with both hands and with the articulation of the figure, in accurate aiming poses.

She was was primed using Citadel primer, and hand painted using Citadel, Tamiya, Formula P3, Model Masters, and other paints. Some areas are glossy, metallic and some are flat. The colors are different shades of reds, oranges, blacks, whites, grays, and others.

Thanks for looking!

Fantastic job man! , I really don't why she was made with so many issues , but you manage to fix them all , from decorative guns and holsters to fully functional one , use of different shadings and paint to really make all the details in her costume "pop" out and making her hair more movie accurate , that is how she should have been done to begin with , Beautiful and Magnificent Work my friend!!!
