General Flagg is on the back row of my shelf so should be safe from Bludd, my top brass don't wear protective equipment to exude that air of authority and get the respect of their troops! Quote:
Great stuff man, especially loving Duke and the Interrogator, all fricking awesome customs and great to see Flagg up there as well!

Flagg, Shipwreck and Falcon all turned out great! Decent seeing everyone’s Shipwreck & Cutter builds popping up with these new parts, always hope for Marauder John to drop some life preservers.
Flagg is exactly what I had in mind too so great to see the build in action before I get to order parts. I’ve made so many Marauder Falcon’s which I’m constantly tweaking and pulling apart so I always love seeing new versions of him. Quote:
Borrow away, I have a part (which according to the tracking is somewhere in the air between New York and London at the moment) which I ordered after seeing one of your customs. The loin cloth (if you want to use it) is from an Indiana Jones Ugha Warrior cut down to make it slightly shorter, you will also need to heat it to stretch it slightly over the waist.
If you love your v2 Roadblock you should keep him like that, for me this hobby is all about what makes you happy, not what other people think it should look like. Always happy to help. I am glad I took the plunge and tried my own decals as it gives me more options (although I will still be using Bad Mother Tattoos). on) Mine probably won’t change much, especially with Hasbro doing this Retro line, I’m hoping they do a v1 Roadblock if they do him at all but my luck I’d make a second v2 and Hasbro would release an Ultimate version of him. Been doing so many customs recently that I can’t afford to double up on many more of the same figures. Haha. Need to conserve some shelf space. Definitely gonna give decals a go, have to check out Bad Mother Tattoos also, never heard of them before. Thanks!

Nice! Shipwreck looks great with the blue dress shirt, so I will be waiting for Marauder to add them to the site (I got one in the preorder items I purchased, but it went to Cutter already). General Flagg is a great use for the green suit, as I was thinking General Hawk, but I prefer Hawk in his camo pants and leather jacket... Great stuff here, as usual!

I am reasonably happy with my Falcon (although the paint is a little sloppy) I am hoping for a v1 Roadblock in the retro line. They seem to be concentrating on v1s for the cards (although who knows what figure they will put on the card!) Decals really add something to the customs and are reasonably easy to use. I use Micro Set and Micro Sol with the decals to get them to conform better to the figure. Quote:

You know, that Gen. Flagg actually looks a lot like Snake Eyes in his dress uniform from the Marvel era, specifically issue #36!

I was thinking the same thing but assumed there was a way of changing the settings of how many posts appear on one page, either that or only 18 pages are any good! With the blonde hair (which is going to change to brunette for Gen Flagg) the head and hat do look like Snake Eyes in that issue, although if I remember correctly he was wearing a trenchcoat. Happy if it provides inspiration for anyone who wants a figure of that Snake Eyes. |

I think you're right AF. More like #108 IIRC. Still, great job!

Really dig all of these. I especially appreciate seeing Interrogator customs. I haven't made a MTF Interrogator yet, and I haven't really figured out which parts I want to use, so it helps to see other peoples' customs. Especially when they look as cool as yours.
