Simple changes can really alter the look of a figure.

For this conversion I started with the Female biker w/auto shotgun: I removed the fringes from her jacket and filed her slacks into bare legs. I added a pair of shorts from putty. I added a tie for her halter top and drilled a tiny hole for her navel.

| I wanted a female 'suit' so I took the figure down to basics, removing her backpack & kneepads. I then added a collar, tie, jacket & skirt from putty.

I treated this figure as I did the one above, but I only added a minidress instead of a full suit.
In both cases I used a black wash on the legs to simulate hose. It looks better in life than in the pictures, but I think I might have been happier with more opaque hosiery.

| I removed the left arm & repositioned it, replaced the SMG with 2 pistols, and redid the beret & braids into a slicked-back hairstyle.
I think I would have done better with a more ambitious hairstyle, and I do think opaque tights would be an improvement.

A simple conversion: I added a kilt & sporran to make a hulking Scottish Nationalist!
I think he needs a claymore in his left hand: A tam & beard would also not be out of place.

| This was to be the bodyguard for a 'Johnny Memorex' scenario. I gave her a whip blade made from wire, a new pistol in her left hand, and a mail shirt from putty.

Another easy conversion. All that was done was to putty over her cutoffs and give her a miniskirt. Somehow she seems 'cheekier' than she did in the shorts, even though nothing extra has been exposed.

| This female corporate has merely had her old hair removed, and longer hair added.
I had considered a fuller hairstyle, similar to 0066 or 0068, but decided I wanted to show off the face on the figure.

This was rather more ambitious: I carved away the figure's heavy jacket and resculpted the chest and back.
I lengthened the hair, but don't really think it made a difference.

This was to be the Hero for a 'Demolition Guy' scenario.
I replaced the autocannon with a HEAVY pistol, and removed the helmet from under his arm. I added a beret from putty, and a club/stunstick made from a lead spearshaft.

This was to be the Sidekick for a 'Demolition Guy' scenario.
I just removed the left arm & hand, resculpted the chest slightly, and added a spare arm from another figure.
