1st Tollbooth

[Buzzbeak]

As the rescue team made there escape with Doc Cobra scrambled to block all the bridges. Cobra did not count on combat engineer Tollbooth to have erected a new bridge deep in the woods.

Thank you. I forgot to do dog tags. If I get some made for the dead line I'll update.

Sweet!

It’s actually been sort of bugging me. I think the colors I used for the shirt and pants where to dark. I picked up a lighter green and brown but what do you all think? Is darker cool or should I try to get the colors closer?

[nmurugger99]

I like the darker colors, it makes him stand out more and look more detailed.

If it was me, I would try to repaint it to match the original more closely. But I always like trying to make the figures look exact to their old counterparts. Your custom is really good regardless of what you end up doing, though.

i need to know where that helmet came from, buzzbeak, care to let me know? you said starwars head, does that include the helmet, or from a village people action figure set that i missed?

That's sort of where I'm am too. I used the other green on another custom I'm working on and it wouldn't be any better. I think the brown would be a closer match but it might look odd if the shirt is still so dark.

It came from a Tollbooth figure. I found a junky one and it was still hard to bring myself to cut him up. I used a dremel to cut the rest of the head off and then hallow out the helmet.
