A killer Maverick custom! I love the use of the Destro forearms, and the whole chest armor looks awesome. What was the build for the armor, if you don't mind me asking?

Also, I'm so glad you're doing the whole team, and looking forward to every one of them.

Thanks, man

The armor is from some sort of Aqua attack Spider-Man figure. It was a single piece-I cut the dome off and sculpted a cuff for it so it would be two pieces and removable.

That’s a really creative take on Maverick. More practical too! I don’t think the original helmet allowed much visibility for enemy aircraft.

Maverick looks great. Love the creative parts. What is that helmet?

Never mind I see you already answered that question. Truly amazing work

Stunning Maverick, love seeing your version here.

This one was dangerously close from falling off the front page! ...Steel Brigade to the rescue lol! That Maverick concept you came up with is just terrific! The gear works really well, it makes him both fresh & unique but as soon as you put those spot-on colors down he is instantly recognizable as Maverick! Thinking outside the box really paid off on this one making for a great take on one of the best members of BF2k! Looking forward to the continuation of this project from you bud.

The parts used here are inspired. Like they should have ALWAYS been used to make these figures, not whatever Hasbro made them for.

Great work.

I dig the Maverick Ax. Man, that helmet is bonkers. The chest piece might be my favorite bit, but the real star is how you managed to make those terrible Destro hands work seamlessly. I almost didn't recognize them.

Thanks, Joe bros

It sucks because they can?t hold weapons for shit, but they just seemed appropriate for this one
