some 25th updates

first is my Flint fix...i used the Viper upper arms and Tomax lowers...but then i had a upper armless Viper...not only that but i wanted the Viper torso for a another custom...what to do?...i took a regular left over troopers torso and swapped on the Viper parts and lower arms...and i used some elbow pads from a wrestling fig to make rolled up sleeves...


this is a Steeler update on my original...after buying the TRU pack with Grunt i had two left over figs...so i used the Hawk arms so Steeler could have the flag on his arm and cam up with a new leg combo...plus i got him a real Steeler visor (thanks GI Joanne)...anyone notice the temporary head till i get Hasbros "Steeler" head?

i didn't want to directly copy everyone elses cartoon divers, so i made mine into Shipwreck...i just cut Torpedos face off and replced it with Shippys


this is group shot just to show a side view of Steelers visor...he is well endowed


by popular demand, i give you, TORPEDO!!!...exactly, not that awesome...he has google eyes like Zartan, and for some reason, i keep giving my navy boys chops, Cutter has em' too...just seems fitting...don't know why...plus it helps hide the seem where the Torp face meets the Ship head...

Great job on those.

So, the original Steeler visor fits the new 25th helmet??

with a razor blade and superglue silly...i cut off the torpedo face, then shippys,and trimmed it till it matched up...worked better than i expected and no gaps...look like it came that way...

Cool, thanks. I just ordered on of these so I can have a Steeler that looks proper.
