Thanks, I wish Marauder would bring out a woodland style camo, I keep trying it with very mixed results. The Thrasher head is from a Zombie Labs figure (I think Steve). I had to paint it as ZL figures have very weird skin tones, I have about 7 light skin tone paints but I always have to mix them to try and match MTF's skin tone which never gives a smooth finish.

Haha, I’m going the easy route and using the Marauder Marine pants.
Thrasher looks awesome too, cool to see a bunch of Dreadnok customs popping up recently. Figure I’ll add a few more to my collection once Boss Fight gets the Zombie line out.
Glad I could help you finish him! Always feels good to get one of those long term “in progress” guys off the customizing desk. I was curious how the idea would look using Marauder parts (I never have white parts though) too so cool to see someone build him that way. Really like how both of our versions came out.
Haha, I didn’t sell my Club Iceberg but I was as frustrated as you were with him trying various things to improve him. Now that I have what I think is an awesome version, maybe the Club one will grow on me as a novelty.
Hope your Big Ben goes well, I have one of those marine camo figures on order so can see how the legs look.
I loved the Dreadnoks as a kid (they were the last figures I sold when I felt I was too old for toys), so I was always going to make them. Unfortunately they can't really be made with MTF parts but hopefully that will change after the Vietnam kickstarter, although still need proper jeans (I doubt they will be included in the Vietnam wave).
Again big thanks for your Iceberg, I really like how yours looks with the BFS parts, I think I will give it a go someday. I am happy with how mine looks for now so would probably wait until BFS make that body in white. The leg fur fits ok over the Marauder legs, but the arm fur is too small for Marauder arms (I had to shave quite a bit off the lower arm to get them to go on).
