I know I said I'd post a past custom for the new guidelines once a day, but I've been super busy, so apologies for the lag.
Allot of you here on the tank have probably seen this custom already, so I'll try and keep it short and sweet. The biggest things to note on this custom are the vest and helmet that were both cast from the original figure. The helmet was cast in resin from the original figure and dremeled to fit on top of the res duke head. The vest was molded and cast in green stuff then sanded to smooth out all the blemishes. Did some dremeling on the shoulders to get rid of the pockets as well as some on the boost to get rid of the laces. to cover up the marks on the boots, I used green stuff to make it look more like the original figure. Thanks for taking the time to check out my work... Or for some of you... Check it out again. Recipe: head & torso - resolute 5 pack duke upper arms - cobra island lamprey with shoulder pockets dremeled off lower arms - v3 SE with piping dremeled off legs - cobra island recondo with boot laces dremeled off and sculpted with green stuff. helmet - cast in resin from vintage air tight head vest - cast in green stuff from vintage air tight gear - vintage gear (provided by kneroh)

Here's a pic with both the vintage and the custom to compare.

Very nice! The helmet, vest and paint are top notch, making this figure a tribute to its predecessor, but the removable parts make it superior! Kudos!
