Since I've been responding so much to Echo7Solo's thread on his Ripcord WIP, I figured I'd give y'all a preview of the Ripcord custom I'm working on. He is still a work in progress but I do have some paint work done to the figure already(the base Olive Drab) but still have to add the darker green camo and decide what to do about all of the grey areas. He does have a ton of gear that I'm trying to make as close to accurate as I can with the supplies I have. The HALO rig and the ruck harnesses with both be RIT dyed black here very soon but the HALO rig still needs a little fine tuning. Also, Duke's head isn't final. I'm debating on whether to resculpt it a little, leave it as is with red hair, or use a different head(possibly 25th Ace or DTC Barrel Roll modded) So, check out the pics.

That is way too awesome for words! I can't wait to see the final piece. You've clearly put a lot of thought and work into this one.

yeah he is right. Most people just do things because it looks close enough or looks cool. You are going for what looks "right" and functions right. Very cool. Hat's off to you bro. |
