Custom 25th/30th Hit and Run by TheVP

[TheVP]

Here is a custom Hit and Run that I just finished. Never had this character growing up but always wanted one

Recipe:

Head: ROC Ripcord
Body: Modded Barbecue (as in I took the tank thing on his chest off...didn't realize their was pockets underneath but I messed them up when dremiling off the tank)
Webgear: Crossbones from the Captain America comic pack (covers up my poor dremeling job on his chest)
Helmet: Tomahawk's from the Pursuit of Cobra Ghost Hawk

Let me know what you think

Great job looks great

Nice Job!

What's with his feet?

What's with his feet?

Not sure...those are the feet that came with the figure. I left them alone, didn't paint them or mod them.

Nice idea on parts, any advice on taking the tank off and not damaging the pockets? Did you see where it was glued?

[CobraOfficer999]

Good job.

I didn't really look to closely b/c I thought it was always a molded on piece...the pockets torso is the same one found on Pursuit of cobra Whiteout.

I have another barbecue or two @ the house I will look at when I get home to see if there is a spot to just pop the tank off. If I was a little more careful with my dremel I could have easily cut a slit in the middle of the tank and used a small flathead screwdriver to pop it off.

Thank you for the nice comments.

I actually started investigating with a watchmakers screwdriver and it turns out the tank is soft plastic so it's pretty easy to lever a corner off (from the side) and then just pull the rest away without damaging anything. Now I just need to get rid of the white remnants of the glue (acetone here I come!)

That face paint looks real! Nice work!
