So this was my weekend distraction since the kids were piled up with birthday parties and I didn't have time for anything significant.
They're MAINLY incredibly lazy customs.
The symbols are just the logo laser-printed and coloured with blue highlighter. I like the effect, weirdly, considering it's very much a lowest-possible-effort solution.
Captain Power - Armored Cobra Commander, Scrap Iron Head, glue on the mic, gold marker to the entire thing. Only paint on it is the visor. I was thinking about maybe swapping the legs, but the blue of Armored CC just looks so right.
(Note: I know he didn't strictly store a sword on the backpack in the show - it's more of a staff - but I have a million Tron Legacy swords lying around and I think the only staff I have that matches is from one of the new Predators and I'm not painting that.)
Pilot - Even lazier. Marauder female body and head, Pilot Scarlett vest given silver highlights. I can't find any marker that'll stick to the goggles, though, so for the moment they're just sorta tinted rather than blue like on the show. I know I did that before for something else....
Hawk - the one I'm happiest with. Neo Viper Upper body (just had it laying around) with silver highlights, kept the Neo Viper vest even. Accelerator Suit lower body. Some underwater guy's (RoC Deep Six, I think?) facemask and a Marauder helmet. Whole whack of dollar store silver marker on top. I might find a spare Destro body tonight to give him his left arm wrist rockets, or at least just glue on a small missile.
Tank - The only "real" custom of the lot, the upper half of that Accelerator Suit body (see, I was thinking here...) with Snow Serpent legs (appropriately bulky). Please tell me I didn't burn a valuable helmet by accident here. Impossible to really do him without painting, but he's SUPER-solid and I'm happy with him. I'll try a Marauder face mask on him, but I only got one of the steadicam gunners and I have no idea where he went to.
Scout... is hiding in the back out of embarrassment. Seriously, did anyone care about Scout? I'll take another pass at him, but right now he's a couple of Storm Shadow bodies jammed together with a 50th Low Light vest on top. And there's no real way to replicate his weird helmet, either. Just there to make up the numbers.
I think I'll eventually make them more show-accurate by swapping out Pilot and Cap's chest armors for flatter Marauder versions.
And I'd love to be able to sand off the logo from Cap's head, but it's too damned risky. If someone has an easy way to get rid of it, I'd appreciate the input.
And before anyone asks: Yes, I have an idea for Stingray. Need to figure out how to match that aqua paint job he had, though....
