so i've been wanting to do a Frostbite for a while but just never got a round to it...so after seeing a few good ones done, and talking to another member about it, it got me motivated...
as always with my customs, i try to stay as ARAH accurate as possible...i deviated a bit by giving Frosty here some extra gear as the classic only came with the gun...so i added a backpack and some snowshoes...the sling on the gun is my first one so it's not too fancy...i also gave him a little shirt skirting just like the OG fig... i also did another cool mod that came out way better and cooler than i expected... wha'cha guys think? |

Great job! That is spectacular. I'd buy that in a second.

Nice work I like that! I don't like the shoulder fur as much (doesn't say V1 to me) over all this is sweet! What did u use for the helmet/hat?

thanks guys...
i sculpted the hat onto the head that had cling wrap on it so i cold take the hat on and off...when still soft i pressed the goggles into it so they would appear to be in the "soft" furry material of the snow hat...then i dremeled the hat to look like the classic Frostbites hat...it came out way way better than i ever thought it would |

He almost doesn't need those big shoulder pads... Other than that, a little blue emblem on the shoulder, and it's almost an exact replica!
If you wanted a slightly bigger head with that goofy grin, the Star Wars Obi-Wan head that I used for my Monkeywrench has an open mouth just like the original figure. Did you paint the whole thing white? Great job on that if that's the case. |

arctic troops are by far my favorite, and that is all kinds of awesome. makes me rethink the one I did so lazily since I hate to paint white.
