I've never loved anything quite as much as I love the pop of those colors together. Superb job Slice.

Voltar looks spectacular! That shot with him and Darklon make for an amazing duo.

Sorry I had to pick myself up off the floor on this one. lol ...Flipping amazing.
Love how you handled this, Voltar could be fighting Joe and still feel right at home up against the likes of Flash Gordon... a nice mix of military & sci-fi. Sweet paint work & makes for a great a dynamic duo with your full throttle Darklon. Having built these 2 recently in 1/18th myself using a mix of parts/casts, the thought process as to what is true to the character & what is overkill (especially color-wise since you paint them) can truly be appreciated here. OH and the Vulture really takes it over the top, love that final feathered entry to complete Voltar's menacing menagerie! -SB |

Of course another stellar custom, of course. I really like the colors. That magenta is just inviting me to take a bite.

In an infinite universe anything that can happen in I’ll happen… including magenta being a fearsome color. Well done!

And that was the challenge I laid out for myself lol. Thanks my brother.

Honestly, that is a work of art. I would say hands down your best custom and that is saying something. Not one single flaw and the paint job is perfect in every way. Honestly, I could not have told that was a custom except for the fact that a factory figure would not have been this perfect painted. I was always a fan of Voltar as a kid, so I'm glad to see him getting some love.
Thank you very very much. Quote:
Thank you Griffy! Thanks brother Ax. Quote:
Holy Squirrel tits!! That?s a brillant looking custom. Super clean paint, I know gold can be a bitch to work with ( at least it was for me years back) and it came out perfect. Like the details you put into this. The eye on the helmet with the lighter shade adds a nice touch a realism. Don?t know if it was intentional or a happy accident but the apparent damage on the right shoulder armour looks fantastic. From head to toe this update is 1st class! Do they still do the front page honours here? Cause this absolutely belongs there! Haven?t been back very long but of the customs I?ve seen this is definitely a favourite. Looking forward to more IGs from you

And the hits just keep coming! I don't know how you do it, but you keep making these quirky and somewhat odd characters come off as legit threats to the Joes.
Yeah, magenta is about as unthreatening a color as you can imagine, but put it on this custom, and he is about as intimidating as they come! I am torn between the two head sculpts, as both are equally well done, and while I am a fan of the removable helmet, I understand not wanted to rub the paint off of the sculpt that is wearing it. I guess you just have to make a second body to adorn the disembodied sculpt... And then there is this: I look at this and think that Voltar's vulture is thinking, "Yeah, wave that sword in my direction again and I'll take your other eye!" Evil bird! As always, thanks for sharing your talents with us! -Todd Shakka85 Shot lol. Thanks for the in depth review my friend. Quote:

This is peak Voltar.
Voltar SHOULD be intimidating. I think the colors are great on him. The bad guys have very few serious military tactician leader threats. Voltar fits this need perfectly. He should be way more scary than Cobra Commander, he's the kind of man Destro would put in charge of the Iron Grenadiers and Cobra Commander would try to freelance hire to lead his troops into battle. +1 for doing him back to back with Darklon. I love Darklon, especially after the comic really expanded on his personality. Quote:
