Thanks! These colors were so much fun to pair up together too! Really like the blue I came out with, don’t think I had that type of shade for anyone before so going to have to try that for another guy at some point.

Thanks! Always fun to jump around the board a bit with Joe characters from different eras but then a few video game, movie and other toy-line characters too!

PS...any tips on how you always manage to keep that MTF shoulder armor stay in place?
Thanks! Haha, oh, Hondo is the man! Such a great character in toy form and in the cartoon! I need to check out some of the mini comics but I’m sure he’s great there too! Appreciate it, super fun paint job to do with the line work and breaks in there!
Always fun to mess with the Steel Crusher, need to get those MASK Jackhammer stickers on this one. Bought an extra specifically for that. Such a cool vehicle.
Gotta slice those pegs! I usually turn them into like a dull spike, just slice a tiny bit off each side of the peg, then it usually plugs in nicer for me. Just do a little at a time and keep testing it until it pushes in nicely and holds. For some guys who are “finished,”, I might use the excess green stuff in the inside of the package to give it a little more stickiness too.

Thanks! Haha, you should! Was so much fun having the vintage Hondo sitting on my desk while this one was being worked on. Now it’s just so much more awesome to have a larger version of it.
Getting Hurricane & Hondo as a Christmas gift is bad ass! I got it as a hand me down but would have loved to get it brand new as a kid. Was probably so much fun busting that thing out of the box as a kid!

Thanks, I appreciate it! Laughed after the paint job when I saw how close it was.

I don't know if they have a v2 Hondo helmet, but I know somebody has casts of MASK helmets for sale. I can't for the life of me remember who though. AVACslab? Vortious? Angelforge? Anybody else know who it is?
Thanks! Haha, i always kind of thought the body & build would work, never actually tried to build him until talking more MASK recently. Some cool later year guys MTF would really work well for too. Thanks! One of my favorite paint jobs to do with all the breaks in colors.
Flint_Rocks tells me he saw something he thinks would work well for him so my Hondo will have a Mask as some point. I have a few series 1 masks from Avacslab.....I think. Just haven’t gotten the right bodies to bring them to life yet.

Great work!
Thanks! I loved some of these Series 2/3 MASK figures a lot growing up so definitely will be some more of them coming. Really cool to see them larger with more detailing. The paint rubbing the features off their faces drove me crazy as a kid!

Thanks! Really feel like my paint jobs have been strong since I jumped back in, especially with these crazier colors I’ve been tackling. Now I just need to find more figures to make! Haha.

Thanks! Yeah, I loved getting that second Matt Trakker but it killed me that they didn’t give us at least one Miles or anyone else. Was hoping for at least another box set like that last SDCC one with more MASK, Visionaires, etc. Too bad they didn’t do another.

As always, everyone taking time to stop in and leave comments is much appreciated! This figure was a childhood favorite of mine so really cool to see everyone thinks I did him justice and just talking toys in general!
