Here's another one that I had an idea for and couldn't stop until it was finished. One of the hurdles was choosing the torso/arms combos. I went with the robotic arm rather than an armored arm--using Resolute Destro's arm is a really cool idea that comes from HobbyHobbs for his Bludd custom. I was initially worried this torso by itself wouldn't give the figure enough heft(?) that is typical of the 30th figures with vests and harnesses.
The other hurdle was choosing a head, because my first assumption was that the 25th head wouldn't work well. After I popped off the helmet, I realized that the head was serviceable, especially with a little sculpting and painting. To me, it looks a little De Niro with a big mustache. I cut out the plastic tab in the helmet, so it sits well on his head (although I pushed a it little far forward in my pics). The corresponding groove in his head has been filled. I didn't go with the rocket gun, but I did give him Res. Zartan's grenade launcher (not pictured). Also, I might add some scarring around the eye patch later.

Another one out of the park. Love the part choices. I might catch flack for saying this but I like him sans helmet better.

Yeah, me too. The helmet's a little odd for a modern take of a character. I've also tried a Shock Trooper helmet/goggles, which looks pretty cool.
