I've been playing around with different parts and found that there are a lot of static, if that's the right term, torsos that work great with modern era parts. Using a method similar to J-Man's (viewtopic.php?f=15&t=39083) I cobbled together this version of the Baroness. I haven't decided if she'll be an alternate outfit or melded into my What if? Movie-verse.

Renegades Flint: a very easy parts swap with some paintwork.
Image

Major Scott McCoy: probably not the major you were thinking of. Delta Force is one of all time military movies, and one that I'll watch no matter when or how many times it comes on. I'm planning on doing his bike from the end of the movie at some point in time.

The pics look a bit rough. I had to use my phone as the batteries in my camera have been "borrowed" by the kids for the X-Box controllers.

Baroness looks good, I think better with the cloak on since her arms/torso are a bit odd shaped.
I used the same skirt and gave high boots/bare legs to a baroness I did long ago and it's still a great idea.
Flint is a great figure.

That flint looks great! Nice weathering on the pants.

My only small critique on the baroness is the thighs being seen. She doesn't strike me as someone who would wear an outfit like that, but it's your interpretation, so go for it!

And.... I am ashamed to say I have no idea who the last guy is. I'm guessing chuck Norris, but I don't think I have seen that movie.

Flint's pants look real. I gotta figure that out.

Bravo!

Scott Mckoy is awesome. All three figures are, but McKoy was/is one of my childhood heroes.

That Baroness is awesome! I have to agree w Tanstoys about the cape, mainly because otherwise the shoulders just seem to hang off the torso -

Great work on those Flint pants -

Delta Force. Awesome. I had the matchbox version of those vehicles as a kid.

Baroness is neat. Just something a little bit different then what I'm used to seeing.

Flint is great. Nice work on putting that one together.

I think Chuck's head sits a smidge too high. I can't wait for you to do his motorcycle.

Then your transition into manhood is not complete

Interesting take on the Baroness. For as many versions as she has, she's wearing the basically the same outfit for every single one, this is a nice departure from that. And like other have said, because of the shoulders, I'd keep the shawl on her. It that a POTC figure used for her torso?

Flint is such a simple figure, goes to show what could have been done had more Renegades figures been made.

Chuck is a great looking figure. Make sure your bike has rear facing mortars on it, otherwise it would lose on authenticity.

I agree with JM70 on Flint's pants, very nice job indeed. The whole figure is a beauty.

McCoy is awesome. Who doesn't need a Chuck Norris figure in their collection, right?!
You nailed it, great work!

Thanks for the comments guys. The Angelica POTC torso is indeed the one on the Baroness. Her neck snapped after taking the picks, so she may go back in the scrap-heap. I definitely plan on making the mini missiles and mortars for McCoy's bike. Bucky, we really have got to get you out more. Though I'm no one to talk. I still haven't made it through a full screening of Mega-Force.

Ive had that Flint in my WIP pile for a month now, and you totally knocked it out of the park. Well done.

These are all sweet. Flint is my favorite of the set because of the color set.

If you loved Delta Force, which you obviously do, a word of advice: Never watch it again. You can't go home. It didn't age very well. Except for Lee Marvin, who is only more awesome retroactively.
