The level of talent displayed by the Customizers here on the Hisstank.com forums never ceases to amaze me. There’s always something new in our Customs Finished Projects area that make me do a double take, wondering if the project I’m looking at is in fact a custom, or a store bought item.
The Custom Sideshow Premium Format G.I. Joe Baroness figure by spazzy is definitely no exception. His Crimson Conversion of this beautiful Baroness figure by Sideshow Collectibles is truly a work of art.
There isn’t anything I can write here that will do this piece the justice it deserves, so please join us after the jump and feast your eyes on this incredible custom piece.

Custom Sideshow G.I. Joe Crimson Baroness Premium Format Conversion
This one I was dying to get to, and before I even finished it, it was sold, so I did not get to enjoy it much, but still want one for my collection one day.
A big transformation, stripped everything, had to clean up the mess under the fabric, resculpt the shirt, this was going to be a black version, but I chipped the leg, so I decided to go with tthe crimson version and cut off part of the fisherman boots, the belt was updated with magnets, as the velcro was very weak, sculpted the straps holding the armor, used same buckles, made new glasses (not as easy as it looks) and did the prototype arm that was first shown touching her glasses, in these pics they are barely touching but modified it to get closer. hard to tell from the pics, but there are multiple colors per area, (the black has flat black with a black pearl for the armor, the red body suit is one color, the armor is another color with shimmer to give it the metal look, and the straps are different to make it look more like leather). Definitely a labor of love, one of my favorite characters and sad to see her go.
Enjoy, and comments welcomed!

Custom arm on regular, also available for sale to match with the original. Stronger magnet added. Working on a custom right arm as well, I see her so many times drawn with a luger, would love to have her have one

Thanks man! It is something I enjoy to do, I do get nervous before taking apart and stripping the paint, but the more I do it the easier it gets.
