Well, it can't be the 50th since he only was first sold in 1985.
I love the SDCC exclusive version of the 50th figure, and I had to get one. But then I ended up buying the retail version too, just to try out some stuff with. I wanted a different head on it, with a removable beret. And I wanted a more woodland camo look. I wasn't entirely happy with the results of it, but the more I looked at it, the more it reminded me of the camo on the Mike Power: Atomic Man 12" figure. Now I'm happy enough with it that I might try it again on another figure. I completely messed up the eyes twice, so I ended up stripping all the paint off and doing it a third time. Right now it's as good as it's going to get. I'll probably ending up buying another head later on when I've got some more practice in to make it look better. I'd tried jet black for Flint's hair, but I ended up liking the dark brown much better. The black blended into the beret and shirt too much. All in all, I'm pretty happy with it considering it's my first real custom. Everything else I'd done before had been just parts swapping. This was my first time painting. The entire body is the Danger At The Docks Flint. Head: "Clooney" from AVAC's Lab. Great sculpt. Looked much better before my sloppy paint work. Hands: Retaliation 3 Pack Cobra Shock Trooper Shotgun: No idea. Some knock-off I've had for 25 years. Maybe a Corps thing. It was originally silver. Last edited by Ford; 07-05-2023 at 08:04 AM.. |

Flint was always one of my favorite Joes, you rocked that one out. Wish I could get my hands on one of those shotguns. Great job.
