He doesn’t look toooo bad, but he could definitely improve by using a full vest and better head. Even though the full armored vest won’t be vintage accurate, it’d help make him look a lot more bulked up and less skinny.

I dig it! That subset of figures is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, and the jar of playdoh is a really nice touch.

I agree that the head is below par. There really is something to be said for using the best paint and applying it in THIN layers. The paint I used was too gloopy and I was impatient (and I’ll NEVER be good at Eyes). The neon paint is a Michael’s craft paint that never should have been applied to a figure in the first place, but I was determined to make the best of it. I will take your suggestions to heart and try again with a full armor vest and will definitely get a Marauders “Brynner” head for this guy (with sculpted mustache, of course)

Great job on Snake Eyes and Gung-Ho! GH could use a little sprucing up, but he looks pretty cool regardless.

The body is just the “reverse” Security-Ops legs coupled with the normal Security-Ops chest and arms. The vest is from the Dollar General Snake Eyes from 2012. The head is from the Angel Forge (head #0490 if it helps).

Oh! I forgot this guy was here. Today’s entry is my favorite character’s less-charismatic brother...Zandar:
I’ve always disliked the “arm-armor-connected-to-nothing” aspect of his and Zarana. I put him in a t-shirt because, come on...put a shirt on, already! ZANDAR (V1):1986 Last edited by rob; 02-13-2023 at 03:37 PM.. |

Recondo
This was built before the tan collared shirt, of course. As soon as Chinese New Year is over and MJ can get those pre-orders to us...I?€™ll re-do Recondo to make him a bit more accurate. RECONDO (V1): 1984 Last edited by rob; 01-30-2023 at 10:52 AM.. |
