Hurricane Irene came through and knocked the power out all day long this Sunday. My PSP and Laptop were fully charged, but I didn’t want to use them, figuring that as long as there’s light I can find something to occupy myself with, that way I wouldn’t be screwed at night time with nothing to do. I got bored and started sifting through my B/S/T stuff and thought I’d do some customs.
Voltar came first because I had just picked up his O-ring version at the flea market this past weekend. I chopped his head off with those pliers, grabbed a set of drill bits, and bored out his neck-hole by hand. I wanted the legs to look more like something field-practical, so I swapped out the IG Destro legs for Heavy Duty’s. I finished painting him up the next day and sealed him. I redid his face because the og figure was in prety beat up shape, but also because I wanted his face to look fleshy- and not pale / plasticy. Please Enjoy!

Very nice interpretation of him. I really like it.

Not a bad idea for when I don't like the new heads on the ME figures. I'll just use a vintage head(if it looks right) I've been clearing out some TechnoVipers' helmet for the 30th Anniversary versions. Hopefully those come out okay.
But I'm really liking how the vintage Voltar head looks. Have you ever considered clearing out his helmet and maybe trying to fit it on a ME figure head? Just wondering if that would work or be too much trouble. Glad you made it through the storm, by the way! |

That ARAH head really does look like a seamless transition to a 25th style sculpt. Nice

I will say though a fresh coat of paint works wonders for the old school heads.

Great Work! Wish Hasbro would do one. Voltar was one of my favs back in the day.
