Season 9
I was inspired to build my own Voltar after seeing a recent set of Iron Grenadiers customs on social media. We had him growing up & I have been looking to add more to my M.A.R.S./I.G. ranks. Thought it was time to give him a go with the Destro (pictured above) already being in the works. I went back in forth with a purple vs. tan (replacing gold) chest plate, but eventually thought more color is better than mostly all one color for this crazy looking General. Helmet is from eBay caster (I did the red eye)... head/sword/scabbard/and belt (one of my favorite parts of this build) are Boss Fight.
GENERAL GYPS, the mercenary commander, is so good at his job that governments would fight over him with the highest bidder choosing his role in their dirty work. Eventually they tired of his increasing prices & high demand during the "Future War" & opted to have him assassinated instead, so that no one could use him. Their attempts failed, & WAR MASTER hired him while on the run, to be be his permanent private military's general. Which gave M.A.R.S. militia instant threat credibility on their first outing. Some say he is lucky, others say he is a genius... all say he is victorious!
Another great batch, but the Voltar homage jumped onto my list as a favorite that you've done. I had him as a kid and knew nothing about him but just thought he was really cool. Great job capturing the vintage look yet adding your own touch as always.
As a side note...I've got to stop taking extended breaks b/c I have a ton of catching up when I return.
