Great updates to Stretcher & Darklon! Always want to do a Stretcher but the parts are never all in my possession at once so I never seem to get around to him. You did an awesome job bringing him to life! Really like the idea to make him a larger character too, suits him well. Paint looks perfect on him!
Really liking the muted colors on Darklon, the build and paint job really make him pop! Can’t wait to see how the rest of the week turns out!

CRACK! Another homerun flies over the wall! Darklon looks pretty good, as many others have done, but that gun! That sells the figure right there! The parts combo makes for a wild looking weapon, as though he customized it himself to strike fear into those who've seen it. It hints at the weapon Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) uses in 'No Country For Old Men'... Outstanding!

That Stretcher is outstanding. I have had that same body sitting around to do my stretcher as well. His file card listed him as an Olympic weightlifter. He’s a big guy. I was planning to mod the vintage backpack, but yours is a great execution. Great job all around.

-Todd Shakka85 Thanks! More on the way! Quote:
Thanks again to all for the comments and views. I've posted up Day 8's figure today...Steam Roller. One of the plainest and yet most unique Joes (in my opinion). Two days and Two figures left to go.

Tight Darklon. That would be a very fitting inclusion into the POC style with the muted colors, yet still is very much Darklon.

All of these look really good. Darklon and Stretcher especially. I really like that Steam Roller too.

Such a badass Steamroller! He’s one I always want to do but keep trying to wait for the Vietnam parts from Marauder. You made him look awesome, ready to step outside of the MCC and start bashing snakes!
Phenomenal rebuild on the Iron Grenadier! They had such a cool design, was a shame the original o ring was that much more awesome than the 25th release. You definitely corrected that though! Looking forward to Sneak Peal! And as always, great poses in these guys!
