#CRIMSONCOMMANDERS hard mod
CLASSIFIED : TOMAX ( face/ neck /arms /underwear /legs ) XAMOT ( face/ neck /arms /underwear /legs ) COBRA OFFICER X2 ( torso ; armband ) paint (createx WICKED PEARL RED ; WICKED SILVER ) spraypaint :SILVER - primer the NECKS are different so I HEAT popped them completely off the OFFICER torso .the arms are bigger on the boys than the officers so the connection joint inside the torso of CO was different too. they will come off ; which is fine for me cus they are displays only . dismantled the bodies , PRIMED EACH PART , waited 2 days for best dry time , then APPLIED THREE COATS of PEARL RED on the parts needed for the CRIMSON LEADERS via airbrush . APPLIED WICKED SILVER on the knee snakes BUT left the boots factory swapped the TORSO of the officers and heated everything else for assembly after 2 days then sealed them with matt finish ~cemented the TWINS necks to the officer torso~ and they are fine ( if not ill just put E6000 if it ever wears off ) now i know a lot of you are gonna see an issue with the torso shoulder connection being a bit blue , but thats fine for me the only other mod i made was USING a xacto knife and heating the blade to make the scar DEEPER AND LONGER. ( i have two sets of TOMMY AND XAMOT for seasonal swapping ) later next year ill get SLAUGHTER to complete the diorama IN CHAINS |

I like this Mod... Thanks for posting and the details of the MOD. Were their heads loose? If so I've used blutack to put the heads on. I'm hoping to do the twins in their crimson outfits when the soldiers finally come out in my area. Again great job, and thanks for posting.

And what was wrong with the original chest? Why use the officers torso?

my gripe is when the next JOE CON comes around , you just know the people in marketing ( who are here acting like actual fans ) will jack a few ideas . ( prime example is the baroness / tomax / xamot /guard 5 pack that was a joe con ) trust me if my AIR CHARIOT MOD gets stolen and mass marketed officially , i am gonna be FURIOUS (including the color shift paint and lighting ) |

as i stated in the first post , this is my variant ( since every supervisor had a different uniform , the CRIMSON IMMORTALS trooper always looked too basic for me so i had to change the idea up )

I think the people working on the classified line are fans, the toys are the best line out by a mile. And if you don't want your mods ideas stolen why are you posting them online? Your air chariot is super cool (I haven't seen many other mods yet)... But saying your going to be furious if they make a variant like yours doesn't make a lot of sense. Please don't take any of what I'm saying as negative or an attack, your stuff is super cool and I appreciate the work you put into it. I just disagree with you not wanting companies to copy cool stuff online. They did "copy" some of my ideas... Making carded classic classified figures. I'm glad they did though.
I'd do a mockup of what I want them to make, then I get what I want. as its been proven time and again across several media you see JACKING OF IDEAS via these *AHEM* designers ( most recently THE PLASMA CANNON someone printed in 3d , then after they saw the money they were losing they decided to make an *eyeroll* official version. trust me , id rather give my money to a 3rd party ( and i have ) when the main HOLDERS bomb the living FRAG out of the design ~MY FERAL REX by MMC aka 3rd party PREDAKING ~ ( now look at what ACTUAL FANS can do vs they thems or HIPSTERS (yes the queens guy) ) i saw TITAN at burlington in upstate NY for 15.99 and they had a ton of him , i was sorely tempted to get him , UNTIL I FLIPPED THE BOX OVER and my heart SANK . |
