This is about halfway done and only has a sample paint job on it.
The head is actually Firefly's modified with a mask and modified to fit the SE torso. The goggles will be removeable to expose some eyes I did some work on. The torso I modified to give more room for the arms to move. I'm contemplating resculpting the collar and adding a little more to the neck. The upper arms (Duke's) need a little modification as I don't care for the gap around the elbow. It was done for another WIP and it worked for the lower arms it was intended for. The lower arms (Torpedos) need to be cleaned up a little bit as it came from a damaged torpedo. I went with wave 7 SE hands because I plan on making them ball joints and those hands work the best for it. The thighs are Red Ninja's with some sculpting. The holster is copied from a gun magazine that featured a holster that's a gun/knife combo. It nicely stores both his glock and the tanto combat knife I made for him. I just went with Resolute Duke knee pads. Flash's shins with BBI Paratrooper feet. (I'm missing one in the photo) The harness is so far my first "successful" venture at sculping my own. it still has to have the back portion to sculpt and fit some clasps on and it should tighten it up a little bit. there are a couple pieces that go under the arms that should pull it back a little. The back harness will have a couple pouches for some surprize items. So far it features a metal loop to hold a item of the user's choice (more than likely a grenade) and I'm kicking around the idea of adding a smaller tactical knife sheath on the right side of the harness. Something smaller than what I did for Breaker. At this point, it's only painted as a test to see how it looks because flat black seems to bring out the errors a lot more easily. The gun is a modified wave 7 SE Uzi. i added an adjustable sling, gave it a more real world silencer (I forgot to show off the end of the barrel), and a folding stock. So, after all that, a little cleanup, sand, and paint and it should be all done. |

The only thing I have a gripe about, is your folding stock. I'll assume you're going for the standard UZI stock with this, as apposed to the side folder. Kudos for the attempt though!
Other than that...you have a very nice WIP there, my friend. Can't wait to see it all goobered up with paint and stuff. |

Looks solid so far. Great job on the harness and the uzi. Did you use epoxy putty for the stock? Styrene might be a better choice. Great parts choices, this is going to be one kick-ass custom.
