Hi All,
I posted this guy in the custom contest thread Kah Rupht started and I just got word I wons! Thank you all for your votes, especially against some damned clean cut costumes. To be honest, I cannot match those guys' abilities to make what looks like a factory painted figure. Soo smooth and such. I have to wash/dry brush the hell outta my things to hide blemishes!
Here's the original Fraggy photo:

I went for a more Pursuit of Cobra inspired feel for this guy, namely elimnating the hand flinging attachment and the teal blue.
For those interested, here's the recipe:
Head: POC Firefly front and 25th Barbque back glued together
Torso: ROC Flash
Arms: ROC Doctor
Legs: Steel Brigade
Backpack: 30th Iron Grenadier
Grenade launcher: POC City Strike Duke
Straps: bits of fodder i don't know the source from.
Here's Fraggy enjoying his win!
