Fisrt of all, sorry for taking so long to aswer to you... I was (still am to be honest) very busy with the preparations for my wedding and was not loging in to the tank. Second thank you for the kind words, it is very nice when someone enjoy a custom, specially one where I took some chances like Blackout.
Your idea of making the cast is very good but I live in Brazil and my budget to custom parts is a little restricted, if you know what I mean, the good part of this is that the necessity is the mother of invention, and sometimes I got to do things like this Blackout. But I sure would like to see some pictures of the castings if can get it done.
Tks again and if you would be so kind, I would appreciate you posting on the thread of Blackout.
Live long and prosper and full of Gi-Joe figures ... hehe
Dude, every now and then a custom comes along that reinvents a character design for me and your blackout totally did that. I'd just finished a figure of him using the POC duke head and now that I see yours I am redoing mine with a ROC Snake Eyes head instead. This is a really awesome new look for the character! Thanks!
If you like the plague, you might be interested in this: I was always bothered that the comics did not use the cool helmets from the original plague troopers. A long time back I made my own versions of the Plague modifying crimson guard/sand viper/ ice viper etc helmets with the grimskull/gallows heads to make them look like a mix between the two designs and really stand out. I'm hoping to send them to Alyosha or Raginspoon to see if they want to make casts of them.
