This Gung Ho isn't necessarily the classic, per se, but until the Concept Case version is released, I'll be happy with him. I kind of based it (loosely) on the art in the Battleground game. It's a Retaliation Roadblock body with sculpted sleeves. I chopped the head off a bit and glued a ROC Gung Ho hat on, as it didn't look right just sitting on that huge noggin. I also altered the head by sculpting a new nose so it wouldn't look too much like the Rock. While not perfect, I'm happy with it.

Looks kinda bare without a tac-harness or vest. Otherwise, nicely done.

I agree, I like it but it needs a vest or webgear.

Man this is some solid work.
I believe that some extra gear on him will look even better. I loved how you went as far as to sculpt on the nose to give the character a different look. That takes guts to experiment like that and you pulled it off really nicely man. Kudos to you Thumbs up! |

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. I tried a couple vests originally, but I didn't really like how they looked (the retaliation roadblock and night adder vests). Any suggestions for one that might look good? Perhaps a Crossbones vest?

Not sure man, for him I would go with heavy web gear.
Maybe slice a few parts from here and there and glue them on ? |

The beige vest from Night Force Outback might look pretty good on him. If it's big enough.
