Hey guys, I posted this custom before that was done by Xhairs from OG13 forums. I first want to say that he did a phenomenal job on it, and that when I decided to alter his custom it wasn't because I disliked it in any way, it was because I realized yesterday that I should had the ROC Air Raid head instead of the Resolute Duke head. As a result, I had to repaint the flesh tone on his neck and lower arms to match the same color as Air Raid's face. I mixed a total of four acrylic colors together: khaki, ivory, white, and sunkissed peach. Afterwards, I thought I was finished right there, but after taking a photo, I realized something wasn't right. The eyes were shifty, looking in two different directions, so I repainted his eyes so that they would look in one direction instead. I am attaching two photos with the Air Raid head, the one on the left being unaltered, the ones on the right that I repainted the eyes for. Again, I want to thank Xhairs for all the time and work he put into this custom, it's awesome.
Formula: Head: ROC Air Raid Helmet: ROC Sandstorm Glider: Resolute 5-pack Duke Vest and body: Retaliation Agent Mouse Here is the thread btw that has photos of how the Barrel Roll originally looked like, which had more of a tanned skin tone: https://www.og13.com/forums/showthre...nd-barrel-roll

You selling it? Barrel Roll was one of my favorites from spytroops growing up and this is pretty darn close.
Really nice work

I thank you for the offer, but no I am not. Also I will be honest with you, a lot of my customs can have paint chips easily, and I am not a professional customizer. I tend to stick mostly with simpler customs and if I had to make a custom like this by myself, I would not be able to. However, Xhairs may be accepting commissions, though you'd have to ask him yourself. I can PM you his profile if you like.

great parts choice bro! I think this head puts him very close in resemblance with Blackout.

Thanks, that's an interesting observation, however, for my Blackout custom I used the Retaliation Wave 1 Duke head, which I felt looks more like Blackout than Air Raid.
