So... I picked up a Resolute Destro vs. Shockblast comic 2-pk. - I felt that the Shockblast could've been better... I kept all the OG pieces that I liked & kitbashed all the rest... I really didn't care for the baby blue w/ dark blue & yellow camo paint scheme that he had... Went w/ sumthin' more subtle... I know black gear would've been more accurate for a S.W.A.T. specialist, but I guess I'm partial to the leather look... (also, slate blue & brown are traditional samurai warrior colors - a combination I am VERY fond of...) & it added some much needed contrast...
RECIPE :
HEAD = OG Resolute Shockblast w/ helmet from Bravo Team fig
TORSO & UPPER ARMS = RoC Cobra Aqua Viper Officer - from Mantis Attack Sub
LOWER ARMS = PoC Rollbar - from Snarler Cycle
HANDS = PoC Recondo
UPPER LEGS = PoC Jungle Duke
KNEES = PoC Rollbar - from Snarler Cycle
LOWER LEGS & BOOTS = OG Resolute Shockblast
GEAR = Vest from OG Resolute Shockblast w/ flashbang grenades added from OG belt & packs from fodder - Backpack from 25th Scarlett (parachute version) - Belt & leg holster/gun from MU Winter Soldier - Misc. pouches from Bravo Team fig
WEAPONS = MP5 from Bravo Team fig w/ scope added from fodder - Tactical shotgun from Bravo Team fig - OG left leg knife & sheath were dremelled down & Bowie kinfe & sheath from 25th Ripper vest added in place
PAINT = Model Master acrylics - entire fig was given a flat black base coat (except for the eyes & face parts) then lots of drybrushed layers
I hope U all enjoy my version of Resolute Shockblast... as always questions / comments / suggestions / critiques R welcomed... THNX 4 lookin'... BL4CK5H33P out...
Ditto, hands down an awesome update on one of my favorite figs.
I love the grittyness of it, says he's been at this a long time, and the Snakes are in for a world of hurt!!!
Also it has sparked a need to custom one of my own.
