It's Friday again, (that seemed to come around quick) and so the saga continues..
Todays episode is something of a custom figure special. Now, bear in mind all of these customs are many years old and some have sustained quite a bit of paint wear during that time (no, I couldn't be bothered to fix them up, not even for F.F.F). I'm more of an ideas person than a technician. Anyway, speaking of special figures, this Baroness Ironblood certainly has one. Decent articulation -not so much.

She is an Agent Anika figure from Guru-Planet. I thought she would make a cool counterpart to my custom Baron Ironblood figure.

I went for a younger more eastern influenced look (hence the Samurai blade). I was going to make a Japanese styled mask or helmet but it was beyond even my skill.

I used some magnets to hold the weapons in place.

Here is my.. some would say controversial version of Zartan. Well, he does have the ability to change colour doesn't he?

This figure might have made me a laudable contender back in the day
pre- 25th anniversary. It has removable knife, magazines, pistol ect. Today, well it's just an esoteric o-ring custom I suppose.

And so that concludes this weeks F.F.F. Next week I'm probably thinking boring old tanks, but if you want to see something much cooler then you will have to buy my Lego sets... help me, help you.
cheers,
firefight.
I'm just messing, glad I could be of inspiration. 
. Another idea was to use a pair of Panther guns to give it that quad gun look.
