Thanks!
The pink-orange chemical tanks and calf tubes have some metallic paint mixed in, but it's not coming through in the photos. The Gung Ho head has a very flat forehead. Should've rounded it out before adding the hair. Oh, well. |

The mix of parts, sculpting and painting all came together in a very nice package! I'm not a huge fan of that body type from the Joe vs Cobra era, particularly the upper legs and waist, but you have made the most of what you had and it works. The hair sculpting on the Gung-Ho head came out very nicely; well done on that especially! All in all, a very nice looking figure!

-Todd Shakka85 I've always been pretty forgiving of the early NS switch to the t-crotches, but they are a very noticeable format change from the ARAH bodies. The first wave of NS figures, at least, had better proportions. After than the NS proportions got pretty iffy until the end of the run. The bald heads are always fun to add hair to because it can really alter overall appearance. I wonder if the sculptures start off with bald heads as a standard, and then add the hair as they go. |

Good work! Nice use of that (IMO otherwise) strange weapon. It really fits here in a perfect way.
Where is that helmet from? |

Yes, that weapon is trash, but works perfectly as some sort of sprayer. No idea what it?s from. The helmet is a push mold cast from a Chap Mei figure, one that pops up in the sets with animals/dinosaurs. ***my error- that helmet is from the ROC Para-Viper*** Last edited by Clockwise; 04-07-2022 at 05:19 AM..

Not a fan of the Neo Viper figure, the parts on the Torso/ Hips lacking in articulation, legs just swivel), but man you made that look pretty awesome.

The Neo Viper chest works for the few characters that need to be ornate and armored, so it has a very slim window. (I have one sitting in the fodder box w a NS Snake-Head on it, and it?s calling out to be used for a custom!) I appreciate it. Any time I?m able to get a nod using NS parts it means a lot. Hasbro really pushed away of lots of fans/collectors w the bad proportions and inconsistent sculpting/articulation. |
