Loving the 90s Eels man! The fully painted head on your second one and the smaller scale fins and googles all seem to blend nicely together but the overall design and sculpting which essentially remained the same are superb!
I also thought that the yellow pops nicely on those vibrant blue/purple bodies. Both are excellent customs!! Appreciate that! Always surprised how well the neon yellow still pops even though the base is the dark green stuff. Then those out of the bottle blue and purple paints are just beautiful. Quote:
Appreciate that, definitely think I have painting down color wise, getting better with my line work and small details too. Then still a work in progress when it comes to sculpting but I’m having a ton of fun with it and definitely can see improvement as I continue to do it. Can’t wait to see where I am with that after about a year.

Since I haven’t gone all in on what my next custom will be yet, decided to grab something off the shelf that I’ve been meaning to do for a while now. Got the ToyHax sticker sheet to turn the Rise of Cobra Steel Crusher into the Jackhammer from MASK a while ago so since I’m in a slow period with customs, felt like a good time to finally get this done.
So just an easy one that multiple people have done on here before. One Steel Crusher with close to no stickers on it, an awesome sticker sheet from ToyHax and this is what we end up with. I didn’t use all of the stickers, have to decide if I put the VENOM sticker on the front of or not. It’s supposed to go on the plow attachment but the extra Steel Crusher I picked up was missing that. Seeing how I got the sticker sheet for free and the Steel Crusher for $15, not a bad outcome at all. Always loved the Steel Crusher but it is sooooo much cooler with this sticker sheet! MASK Jackhammer Some comparison pics between my Cobra Steel Crusher & Venom Jackhammer: Can’t make a Jackhammer and then not send it out into the field:

First...yeah I need those stickers.
Second....wouldn't Hondo's suit just blind them or at least having them laughing so hard they wouldn't attack? LOL! You know I think you nailed that custom, but couldn't help giving you a hard time.

Bro these are some fantastic action scenes with the Steel Crusher, or should I say MASK Jackhammer?
Borrowing your last sentence above, this Steel Crusher is definitely a lot more cooler with this sticker sheet!! |

Lmao, I think the more likely scenario is they see the kind of kickass uniforms Matt Trakker is outfitting his guys with now so they quit their life of crime to join the good guys! Quote:
Absolutely! Plus their stickers are such high quality! Had they only been so-so quality, I definitely could have messed a few up while applying. Top of the line though! Quote:
Oh, haha, this was a day one purchase if it was on a store shelf for me! Thanks, appreciate that! Always fun to get some vehicles off the shelf and into the action!

Thanks! Definitely have some ideas I’d like to do, plus I want to paint one of those retro collection FANG’s. My first experiment with spray paint went poorly though so have to figure out the best way to do a painted one. Thanks! It was such a cool vehicle to begin with so love having two of them with different looks. ————— With the Jackhammer, I finished off another block of nine for the Table of Contents on page one. This batch also puts me over 150 completed customs posted on Hisstank. So another really fun group. Lot of sculpting here, some neon, my first true Fortnite custom, nice mix of different Marauder & Boss Fight figures and then my first vehicle custom. So just a fun group to work on while keeping things fresh for myself.
