CUSTOM: NOIRE (UPDATED)

Hey Everybody,

I have had Gillian's spygirl character Noire together for a while:

However I recently decided on some more conservative outfit changes for her:

NOIRE 033112 (3)

NOIRE UPDATE 2

NOIRE RX4 (1)

NOIRE UPDATE 5

So I started by giving her an OJI sleeveless leotard in silver for under her Dollsfigure black outfit. I followed this up with some Soldier Story gloved hands (as mentioned in the previous post), boots from Cy Girls Mystere, a few other bits and pieces regarding her gear belt, and then finished it off by giving her a Dr. Figures Beretta RX4 rifle. I really like the rifle as it has sleek sexy lines IMHO.

Another neat item of note is I found mirrored backed droplet stickers at the craft store in the scrapbooking section that are just fantastic for scope lenses.

NOIRE UPDATE 8

I think over all I like the look of the new outfit, it is still sleek and sexy.

ALTERNATIVE FEMALE GLOVED HANDS

Hey Everybody,

Most of the female gloved hands available are copies of the classic Cy Girls fingerless glove hands. Whilst these are nice, variety is always nicer. So a while back I ordered some pairs of Soldier Story gloved hands for their male figures and what I found was rather nice... that they are made smaller than other gloved hands. They are a perfect size to be unisex... not too big, not too small. They mount on CG and Alpha style wrist posts easily and look great. I actually use them almost exclusively for female figures. They are a nice medium softness plastic, they have a tight grip, and they have trigger discipline, something many of the manufacturers tend to overlook, which on military figures should be a real detail point IMHO.

Soldier Story gloved hands usually come in sets of three, two trigger finger hands (L&R) and a left hand tight grip for weapon foregrips, knives etc. The grip on the trigger finger hands is good and tight though, allowing all the hands to hold items that generally require a tighter grip.
