So I've been wanting to do an Airtight custom since I got on the Tank. After seeing the great jobs so many other tankers did, I decided to give it a go... I had a vintage Airtight stashed in my parents garage somewhere, so i fished it out in the hopes of somehow duplicating the head. This was the first project I took on where I made a silicone mold from an original joe head then cast it in resin. After I cast the head, I used a Dremel to bore out the inside, in order to fit the resolute duke head. I also molded and cast the vest of the original Airtight in green stuff that i think came out really well. Did a bit of Dremel work on the arms to get rid of the unwanted details of the Lamprey upper arms, the Snake eyes lower arms and the boot laces from the Recondo lower legs. Used green stuff on the boots to patch the flaws left by the Dremel also.
I NO LONGER AM IN NEED OF HIS GEAR. Thanks to Kneroh for donating to the completion of this custom, so big ups to him for the generosity!!!... And thanks to everyone else for the positive comments and offers to help me out! There are some truly awesome people that belong to the Tank! Here's a side by side comparison of the old and new. I wanted to go with a earthier green for the helmet, vest, etc. just thought it would fit better with all the earthy tones of the rest of my Joe collection.

Here is the gun and backpack:http://roboticplanet.com/store/index...cPath=11_87_93
I have bought stuff from this guy before. Sometime he doesn't have pics of his stuff but the condition he says it it is that's what it is. Really nice custom BTW.
