Some concept pics just to keep community interest in the project from flagging (ha ha):
Hawk, Duke, Spirit, Longstreet
Design notes:
Updated my Hawk image to reflect elements of the later versions. It's actually a hybrid of the 1986 costume and the Talking Battle Commander's version (a "be-strapped" update of the 1986 figure... note the knife strapped to his right forearm, that's a nod to the TBC Hawk). Also "upgraded" his face, going from Robert Redford to Steve McQueen.
Similarly, my infatuation with the Resolute Duke design has faded since I first started this project, so I'm reverting him to his classic duds. That's a "shorty" M14 carbine he's holding, by the way. Don't know why the US Armed Forces don't go back to it. All the problems with the original M14 -- the ungainly weight, its susceptibility to insect infestation in jungle environments -- were primarily due to its stock assembly originally being made from wood. With newer composite materials now available and being used to make "specialized" M14 derivatives, I don't see why it hasn't retunred to wider use, especially since it trumps the M4 in stopping power, range, and accuracy.
Also updated Spirit. I normally wouldn't post an image that I just colour-corrected, but I ended up re-doing the bottom half of the image for this one.
This is my new take on Flagg (a lieutenant colonel in my Joe-verse), whom I've codenamed "Longstreet." I initially had reservations about giving him World War II-styled clothing (the leather tanker jacket, the old OD peaked cap) like the original General Flagg III toy wore, but I figure if the Joes are going to let one of their scouts run around in vintage In
dian Wars clothing, they probably have no problem letting a bird colonel wear something out of World War II.
No new filecards for these guys... I'll be retiring the filecard section of my Photobucket account as soon as I finish making the new format file cards (more like "file pages"). Only reaon I'm leaving them up is for people who came to the party late and want to get caught up with what I'm trying to do.
I'll be making more new composite images as I go along... just to keep this thread and community interest going (my focusing solely on updating the old images might sap momentum from the project).
Thanks for looking!
