Ok, keep in mind that this is still a WIP, and that this is one of maybe two times I've worked with Joe parts. I know that everything screams Snake Eyes too, but I was going for a more general commando feel. I want to paint the goggles, and the head still has that blueish tint to it.
The hands are still not what I want for this guy...so they may be changing soon. If not, they need to be painted. The head is the cold weather SE, body and arms are SE, legs are cold weather SE, armor is modded SW DSG and the belt is modded TAC Apartment Jango Fett. I airbrushed (lots of trial and error with the paint viscosity) the legs and torso to get uniform color. I have a pack in the works for him too, but I ran out of paint and it was damn near midnight when I did. The weapons are two of my favorites. The pistol is from the Comic pack Mara Jade and the rifle is a mod I did on an ARC rifle, it has a Greivous blaster barrel and the stock is shorter. Now, the crotch area is the older 'diaper' style one, and it REALLY inhibits the range of the legs. Anyone have any ideas on how to trim that down so the stance isn't so....wide?
So, there she is. My first military themed custom. I have to be honest though, this is going to be put up over at
Bantha Skull
as a SW custom, kind of a Joe/SW crossover-verse thing. I may end up giving this guy a light saber too.
Comments, questions, gripes....
Dre
