I finally had enough of the original Gung-Ho head and arms, so I decided to replace them. The head comes from Aly over at Broken Arrow Toys. The hat is removable, but I forgot to take a pic with it off. I can't make up my mind whether the hat sits too high on his head. I ordered and painted two heads, so I could trim one down for the hat and still have another to display hatless. I have yet to do this (hard to cut into one of the heads), but I still might. I also went with the green comic-pack version, but I could switch to the bluish. I think I'll stay with green for now.
- head: "marine" head from Broken Arrow - hat: Gungo-Ho, hollowed out as much as possible - upper arms: single-carded Ripper - lower arms/hands: Cobra Flint - body: Gung-Ho For the tattoo, I just painted around what was already there. (Is that cheating?) I plan to order some paper for waterslide decals soon, so that will likely be my final solution. Now he doesn't look just like Leatherneck!

A close-up of the head - sorry it's a little grainy.

AWESOME! You remind me of why Gung-Ho has always been one of my favorites. Nice work, sir.
