It's such a great lineup, and i can't get enough of those group photos.
I really love your generic troops, Wild Weasel and Scrap Iron. Looking forward to getting a WW cast from Voetious, so that i can upgrade mine. I'm not that much into costomizing, but small tweaks are fun to do. What missile launcher did you use for SI? I've been looking for one, but only have the one from Roc Duke/Salvo, and it's a bit on the large side. |

More pictures and notes on updated Wild Weasel:
gCobra_25th_84-xWildWeasel_2019-0325bc by J Perez, on Flickr While ordering a bunch of Viper heads from ebay seller Cobra1678, I also got the WW head cast similar to that used by jlw515. It took a few weeks to get around to painting it up. I wasn't sure I'd like it better than the actual 25th sculpt but I do. And since I was updating the head, I thought it was time to do some other mods I had in mind for a while to get closer to the vintage figure look... gCobra_25th_84-WildWeasel_2019-0324ac by J Perez, on Flickr Other main mods: -Repainted the neck and previous scarf to closer align to vintage figure look. -Replaced lower arms with ROC big coat Snake Eyes arms to get that medium length glove look. -Sawed out chest of similar figure (ToysRUs 3pack Ace I think) and glued to lower chest, to get the original's four-pocket look (and to cover up that beer belly)... gCobra_25th_84-WildWeasel_2019-0324bc by J Perez, on Flickr I had and retain my original Wild Weasel. The Rattler and the Dragonfly were the largest vehicles I allowed myself to buy, and I love them both. Wild Weasel and Scrap-Iron in the Rattler vs Wild Bill and Airborne in the Dragonfly made a nice contained Versus set for my as a kid. I pulled my original figure out the tombs to do compare shots, for making the new mods... gCobra_25th_84-xWildWeasel_2019-0325ab by J Perez, on Flickr I am still working on tweaking the explosion background setup, but wanted to do these to keep testing posing, lighting, setup and post-process settings. Biggest problem lingering is the glare from lights on background paper printout. But I think I'd prefer the printout to green screen effect processing... gCobra_25th_84-xWildWeasel_2019-0325bb by J Perez, on Flickr Lastly, Rattler Shenanigans... gCobra_25th_84-WildWeasel_2019-0324cc by J Perez, on Flickr |

Awesome! I've seen that head cast before, but never painted. I do think I also prefer it to the 25th version.

That is awesome! I love that last pic where your custom is hiding the .50 cal, like he's whistling or something. LOL!
