Hi everyone, I've finally finished my Sideshow inspired Firefly. A lot of you have already made this custom and some are really amazing. I hope you guys will like mine too.
Initially I made a workable hood with the cloth tape but it couldn't take the paint very well. I was a bit demoralised after this, then I tried using the cloth from POC Snow Job. Again it didn't work out... Luckily I made a clean cut of the hood so I was able to glue it back seamlessly. Below is my failed attempt with the cloth tape. :( Anyway I managed to motivate myself to finish this custom. Hope you guys dig it. If you are interested, here is the recipe: Head: Resolute Beachhead (Sanded away the fabric grooves) Goggles: Cloth Tape with the rubber gaskets at the hip joint Torso: POC Wave 3 Snake-Eyes Jacket: POC Snow Job Backpack: BBI modified with Cloth Tape and Pouches & Radio detonator from urbanrevtoys, Flash bangs:BBI, Grenades & Smoke grenades: Marauder Upper Arms: 25th Sgt Airborne (edited with cloth tape) Lower Arms: ROC Zartan (edited with cloth tape) Hands: Not sure from where? Upper Legs: ROC Zartan Lower Legs: Resolute Duke Feet: ROC Zartan Holster: Custom with cloth tape Pouches: urbanrevtoys Handgun: BBI Knife & Sheath: POC Wave 3 Snake-Eyes SMG: Marauder's guns + 25th Blue Firefly for 'folding stock' Suitcase: ROC Baroness Suitcase Bomb: Straw with Cloth Tape & modified Handphone from Marauder I.E.D. : BBI Bomb modified with Blue tack, handphone: BBI, Strings, Left-over part from Backpack and cloth tape |

Man you are on a roll! Amazing work. Look at it this way. Failing with the tape made you end up with an even better custom in the end. Great job.
