Totally agree with you on the 25th figures, DA, how they looked great at the time, but as time passes and new sculpted items are released, they seem... dated. Your take on Airborne shows there was some good sculpting in the early ME; just a little work and they could have been so much better. The vest with the added harness and the MTF knife is perfect for Airborne. And while I prefer functional goggles on helmets nowadays, the original Airborne helmet still is a great choice. So you are 3 and 0 in this thread so far, with all figures being up to the standard you have always given us. So glad to see your work displayed here again!

Great job on all of them. I love how you took Scoop's 'shoot me' color scheme and toned it down so that he looks like he can actually fit in on the battlefield.

Thank you, I appreciate it Quote:
Voltar and Airborne look great! Really like the grizzled look of Voltar, been a huge fan of his ever since the NES game so I always love seeing customs of him. Really nailed all of the details on him.
That’s basically the Ultimate version of Airborne, don’t know what else you could do to make him better. Love how he came out. Quote:

These are right up my alley. Solid work all around, but Voltar is a standout, for sure

Big Bear is phenomenal! I made the v2 which I love but I’ve been struggling to get the color just right for the original and you really nailed it! You might finally get him off of my “to do list” and back in progress.
Super clean paint job and great accessorizing. He’s such a simple design so it’s hard to really make him stand out but you definitely accomplished that with this custom.

Great looking customs!! You captured them in a perfect light/angle. So great photography skills as well.
General Voltar and Big Bear are my favorites! |

Great job on Big Bear, especially when he face painting. That head goes really well with those MTF parts.
