Doc Sampson came out looking great! Definitely captured his size and the sculpted torn shirt is fantastic! Looks so imposing next to your other classic heroes!
Then those mods to the Fresh Monkey Matt Matheson are incredible! You crushed it with the transformation from homage to accurate Steve Austin! Absolutely love it! I?m gonna be lazy with mine and just give him the accurate hair color later! Haha, at some point Steve had to get hot and unzip the jacket! That?s my theory! Matt Mason is another, just great tweaks to the original build. The paint job really pushes that sculpt over the top by adding just a bit of color that helps that Space Force build pop.

Your enthusiasm for many of the custom projects on the Tank is a great motivator for all of your friends here on the forums, as the work you put into the feedback given helps all of us who keep going "what's next" within our own (...and others) threads. Especially one's like Flint's here ...who has a literal treasure trove of great ideas, great customs, & great inspiration that keeps us all guessing with his unlimited talent! |

I have to say again, that everything in here is just super awesome! Scrolling through this, I remember every single toy line of all these as a kid. Some I had completely forgotten about till seeing your updated revamps of them. Sooo much amazing stuff man! And as I said in here before, this is my favorite scale size for toys/ action figures. So you scaling them down AND making them more articulated, well let?s just say I would have REALLY loved playing with all these toy lines so much better when I was a kid!
And starcom, that was the little figures with the magnets on their feet right?

Flint & Steel Brigade, much appreciated! I have so much fun following along & watching everyones? skills just get better & better, then the creativity that you see on here is off the charts. I?ve said it many times, a lot of customs that I have in my collection now are the direct result of either seeing what someone did on here, from tips / suggestions that members have shared with me or just from people stopping by my thread to say a few nice things about whatever goofy thing I painted & photographed that day.
Haha and don?t forget Flint collecting all of those vintage lines as well so we get kickass Past & Present shots all the time! At this point I think he?s done more customs of figures that I never saw before than ones that I was familiar with so those side by side pics with the vintage figures are amazing!

That is slick man! Color/paint looks super clean & I like the head choice! Comparison time pic is fun & surely a worthy addition to your mighty ranks with all the differences! Definitely gives that 70's vibe! Kudos! ;-)

A lesser known hero who had a radio show in South Africa in 60s and 70s Jet Jungle. He did get an action figure from Mego in the 70s and Zicatoys did a modern take on him in their Captain Action line a few years ago.

Action Jackson looks fantastic, really like the blue jumpsuit look. Then that was a good head choice for one of the doll homages. Great job on hand painting his logo as well. That couldn?t have been easy in white.
Jet Jungle is awesome as well. He has that fun old school simplicity to him that still comes out looking really cool in a modern build. I have a white haired head that I wasn?t sure what to use for, might need to do my own Jet down the road. Love his Jaguar pal. Making me jealous with all of these doll homages that Fresh Monkey has me wanting now. Both look great next to the Zica versions. Really loved how theirs turned out, but then when I found out they weren?t accurate to the original figures, it caused me to pass even though I love that Captain Action line. Saw Zica Action Jackson at a toy show this weekend, almost picked him up but I had already grabbed too much stuff so he ultimately got left behind. Had they had Jet also, might have just bit the bullet because they were the two that I wanted beyond the Captain Action that I already have.
