the gray i went with was tamiya light grey and before the wash was almost a perfect match, that's how dark the wash coated it, lol. i learned a lot here though so the future is bright.
I'm sure a lot of people are like "blah blah, quit typing so much" to my posts, but I feel that if someone took the time to source all these parts, assemble them, glue/paint/repaint/etc., photograph, upload, and write the thread, that the least I can do is give them something more to read for their time. Haha.
I wish more people would write a little more, but I'm not knocking the folks who leave shorter comments. They took the time to leave a comment period, which is respectable. I simply like reading more sometimes.
The Hasbro head is the same as the alternate POC Zartan head, it seems, so hopefully that's just a placeholder. But the head is oddly-shaped, I agree. I don't so much mind their bulkier legs or the torso that's not quite bulky enough, but the face kills it on a "personal" level, since that's the thing that defines someone's visual identity (their face). The helmet/goggles of theirs "works" as far as resembling the vintage construction, but together with that head it all looks off. Yours doesn't.
