Major Bludd by kingphilbert

[kingphilbert]

The last one I have for you all at the moment. I started work on the Major between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I finished him up, but had packed away my backdrop and lights with no intent to pull them out to photograph just one custom without any more on the horizon. Sorry it took so long to show off my last proper custom. I do need to admit that I am not overly thrilled how he turned out. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on someone that should have been updated by now.

Very nice!

You may not be overly thrilled as to how it turned out, but I sure am.

[Ripcord]

That is one cool looking Major Bludd. I like it.

[G.I. JOSEPH]

cool look!

I like what you done here. Though, I would change the legs, maybe with ROC/POC Cobra Commander's legs.

[Shimaneboy]

I'm liking this a lot!!!

[kingphilbert]

Thanks guys!

[gruppenfuhrer88]

Yeah. I'm liking this, he turned out great. Nice job guy!

I agree. I like the upper body, but the legs are throwing it off a bit for me.

[kingphilbert]

The legs were a huge debate while I was working on him. I had painted up both the Range Viper bottoms and the proper bottoms to the Resolute SE uppers. In the end I went with the RV lowers for the tall boots and metal plate. Someone mentioned RoC Cobra Commander legs, I can see them having been a good choice.

I really like this.

That is a nice Major Bludd! Very nice update! Hasbro pay attention!

I really like this Bludd. I think adding some sort of techy backpack would really complete him though, but what you did looks fantastic. I may have to "borrow" this.

he looks pretty cool but he needs a more iconic looking right arm...the new retaliation CC has a interesting armored arm you could use once its painted up silver and hit with a black wash...I think that would be a huge positive for the figure you have made...

[MJjoe4life]

That is awesome!

That I can possibly look into.

This one however... a great suggestion, but I rarely bust a custom back apart to add a new piece. I'll have to check out the CC you're referring to though.

I think at the time I was taking the approach of a gimp arm as opposed to a mechanical arm. That's why I chose the Rex Lewis arm with all the straps. That arm is actually longer than the SE arm so when they are straight, they look odd. I think that bothers me about this one a bit still.

Maybe remake him if you like the arm I mentioned :) You can get a Shipwreck from a DG and use that for a quick and cheaper body for your base.

[kingphilbert]

That would be the path I'd take. Even now I can see better parts, and maybe a better head being used.

[Viper6]

THIS, is one bitchn update!!!!

[meandnooneelse]

I like this a lot. Very remaniscent (sp?) of the original, but up to date as well. Good work.

[wertdog91]

Nice part use and execution
