Built to customer specs:
All of the scrap irons since the classic ARAH have missed their mark. Especially the modern era version with those skinny legs . I will say, Hasbro nailed his head cast in the updated version and that was the price I used. I repainted his skin darker, and added some real nasty gashes to honor his name. I also added a blown off hand using “scrap” metal for a new prosthetic. Other than that, I kept him true to form as a Retro updated version. I wanted him to have “Scrap looking parts” since he is cobra tester of weapons . like Test 99 version of an unmanned computer driven tank. All hand painted and kinda just built from imagination. His middle launcher was hand painted and added a real fuse to give it a scrap look.

Dig it. Your retro line is more in line with my aesthetic, but with nice touches that still make your work recognizable. The “Ash” hand is a nice touch.

Awesome v1 Scrap-Iron and love how crisp the paint scheme looks on him. The weapons he comes with are badass and what a better person to test their scope and functionality than the master himself!

Very cool, Slice. The vibrant blue and red on his costume look fantastic, and the accessories are next-level.
Would you be comfortable sharing the source for the grenades on his chest? I needed to find something with a similar profile recently and ended up slicing apart a Mercer vest to get them, which was a bit of a bummer. |
