Heya Guys,
First post here on HT. This is my first custom figure. Arnold Schwarzenegger as John Matrix, from the 1985 classic "Commando". I always wanted one of these as a kid. I only found out modern era figures were a thing this past December, and I had a lot of time to make up for. But also, I wanted to finally have a Commando figure. I made him a month later in January. Hopefully you guys like 'em. I'm not too good at painting just yet, and my sculpting skills are lacking, but I've taken well to it, and love messing around. The vest belonged originally to I don't even remember, but I had to Green-Stuff it up, and make just about everything you see on the chest area, minus the belt/pouch part of it. (and the blatant Gung-Ho leg-grenades cut up to mimic shotgun shells) Any questions, just ask. Also, thanks for having me. Glad I finally made an account here to shoot the shit with all of you, my fellow Joe Brothers (and Sisters!!?) Glad to be here, btw. Hope I can help any way possible.
