Here's another one I recently finished. He's a Cobra Mechanic based on the ones in the cartoon. This was truly a "parts bin" custom. I just put him together from left over parts. I took the liberty of giving him knee pads, as it just made sense for a mechanic, and looked cool.

You didn't make fun of or belittle his work. Constructive criticism is welcome. Calling it crap isn't. That's why posts are being deleted.
I like it as well. Makes me want to use a Star Wars Imperial Officer for the head, too. ^_^ |

I'm not crazy about the hat either, but the rest of the custom is right on. Maybe you should "square" up the hat a little with some putty.
I'm with Tenime on the constructive criticism, too. I want to know if something looks bad, but I hate it when they just leave it at that. If you critique someting negatively, offer advice on how you would go about fixing it. Good job Cap'n Hydra, nice to see customs of support characters. |

Very accurate to the cartoon image there. Very nice. Unfortunately, that's a totally '80's hat. Good rendition of it however.

Well, it's actually a very nice hat, but the angle does not do it justice. I see that it looks like a cone hat in the picture. Here is what it looks like from other angles.

Wow... Good job and Idea! The Hat makes him seem like a German Nazi. But the custom looks very close to the pic so that is all that matters.
