The bike is a HUGE improvement I really like what you did with the colors, & that satin finish looks GREAT! Like you said... carbon! I love that Ninja Scarlett too!
You've said stuff like "taking a break" before & then blam-o.. you drop like 6 figures the very next week lol!!!! So I kinda don't believe you & your outlook for 2024 ace ;-) ...I have around 45 figures (I'm not kidding) in the hopper right now, so come'on over & help work on my stuff if ya want to good buddy! |

I did get some Christmas money, so there will be an initial burst of drops, sure. That will be in the next week or two, but after that it will be pretty quiet from me until April or May.
The main reason is my time to actually sit down and work on my kitbashes has been severely cut. But there are figs coming: Crosshair 2003 Torch 1985 Ghostrider 1988 Hard Master 2008 Keel-Haul 1985 (hopefully) Sgt. Hacker 2003 Storm Rider 2010 Dr. Benton Quest Race Bannon Flash 2009 Grand Slam (Battlecorps) Kestral (Delta-17) Preacher (Delta-17)

In the meantime, my first Marauders Christmas order came in early, so I was able to tweak my V1 Airborne. I simplified his load-out a bit by removing the grenade and painted blue pockets from his vest, replacing them with some light green mag pouches. I also gave him some green padded gloves (LOVE the padded gloves) and generally just moved things around a bit. Airborne originally had some small gray pockets on his boots which made them look a little anemic. I put the knife down on the boot with a larger pocket to beef up his legs a bit. Gone also is the Airborne patch from his arm. I really do not like the smooth pieces anymore. Lastly, I added a WWII Japanese backpack to more emulate the vintage backpack. AIRBORNE (V1): 1983 FIRST ATTEMPT

Thanks ARBCO. I tend to obsess over Airborne since he is my favorite Joe. Speaking of obsessing, I have a couple tweaks.
First up is Barbecue. I decided he was just not Barbecue without the oxygen tank on his chest, so I ripped it off the 25th figure. I also added a small pistol holster to hold the squirt gun. BARBECUE (V1): 1985 First Attempt Next up is Grunt. I wanted my Grunt to look a little more like the Classified Grunt. It is not perfect, but it is better than before. I opted to keep Grunts light green arm pockets to honor the 1982 Grunt. GRUNT (V1): 1982 First Attempt And, lastly, I have a first-time build. 2003 Crosshair. I do not like the Bolero jacket that the original figure wears. I decided to use a simple MTF tactical vest. Also, still need to get a proper Spytroops/VvV Ghillie suit. If you cannot tell, I am really not into painting my kitbashes right now. CROSSHAIR (V1): 2003

Is Airborne in a Roadblock vest? If so, best use of that piece... ever. The additional pouches enhance the look a lot, too. Fantastic as always.
