Seeing all this bf2k love brings a warm fuzzy feeling in the swirling black void in place of my heart.

That?s exactly what I wanted to hear. Anything you?d change or is he spot on?

Only a removable helmet and an aliens pulse rifle.

Every figure is better with a removable helmet! It's even in my sig!

Great work everyone!

Damn, I guess next time I will just bash the oring parts onto a modern body lol. Congrats to the winners and thanks for all the positive comments.

Monte, my custom is 1:18/4? scale using POC to Retaliation parts for the body modded with one of my cast neck joints for joy toy like articulation. The removable helmet, webgear, bracers, and stand were from cast parts I made modded with styrene, wire, and green stuff. The greaves were modified from a marauder Val and the gun was from marauder and modified with more of my cast parts and styrene. I used 2mm buckles and 2mm thread for the working sling.

I thought most BF2000 fans were already aware, but the 87 oring for Dodger was heavily influenced by the United States Colonial Marines from the Aliens movie which had been released the year before. The helmet, armor and optics mirror the movie and elements of the pulse rifle can be seen on his gun such as the rail and under barrel grenade launcher.

I never had any of the BF2000 team growing up, most likely because I preferred the more military looking figures and colors (still do). I decided to go for the Colonial Marine vibe and found some really cool artwork by GC Conceptart that really inspired my build. Now you know and knowing is half the battle, Yo Joe!

Hat's off to daremo, I love getting a peak behind the curtain. I didn't mention it before, but the mixing of parts was what immediately stood out to me about daremo's Dodger. I recognized Flint's head, PoC/Ret arms, Joytoy (I think?) legs, MTF Valkyrie shinguards, and what appears to be heavily modded ROC Flash armor, but there's still a bunch of parts I don't recognize.

Between that and the Space Marine vibes, Dodger scored near the top for me on both Concept and Craft.

Thanks again to everyone for participating. This was a ton of fun!
