This is one I have had done a while but I did not want to use the Red Star head. While I think that head looks good, I thought of Keel-Haul as a bit younger, 40-45, as he looks to me in his File Card. I finally figured out what head to use and I am happy with the end result creating a younger hot shot pilot-turned Admiral of the USS Flagg. Still need to make some dog tags...enjoy.

I just realized looking at the filecard, quite a few of the joes would be collecting social security now. With the DDP comics relaunch, which is supposed to be current day, there are a lot of Vietnam vet Joes running around like young whipper-snappers.

Back on topic. Cool custom. Would make a nice compliment to the Tropical White uni Keel-haul a tanker did a few months ago.

I like everything but the head. Tomax and Xamot's noses are too distinct and flat.

That looks really good man! My only issue with it is that while the head does look younger and a bit more like the filecard, it also looks like a young Bob Saget with a moustache. I really like how the medals on the jacket came out

That Tomax/Xamot head looks better for a Keel-Haul custom figure than Red Star. Great job on that one.

Ha. Thanks Shogi...I think. I was just going for something different and younger looking than the RS head.

Bob Saget lol! Great Keel-Haul, the parts really come together well. I like the head better than Red Star's too.
