My first custom, and it's definitely not perfect - my sanding of the joints didn't go brilliantly, and the paintwork is patchier than I'd like - but I think I captured the likeness of the character pretty well. I would have liked to get the harness that came with jetpack Hawk on there, but it split while I was using a hairdryer to stretch it over the jacket. Whoops? As a side note, I wrote a profile on the character for the Allspark's Unofficial Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook Extended! (And, er, can we please leave any discourse over Aubrey Sitterson/the IDW continuity at the door?) |

Looks great! I love the flag on his chest—perfect!!!
You need some Marauder goggles to hang around his neck, though.

Yeah, definitely - though since I'm in the UK, shipping on Marauders stuff is so absurd that I might be better off getting a 50th Hawk or Hall of Heroes Firefly or something!

I think it looks great. I've been doing customs for a while and I still try to avoid joints and painting large areas. I think it came out great.
Another option is maybe try to see if 25th Viper goggles will fit around his neck. Not sure if it's too small or not, but when I saw the picture, that's what I thought of right away cause of the squarish nature of the goggles on his neck.

Nice, he was a character that had a lot of potential from that series.
