Earlier I posted pics of this custom and got some feedback on how the head was slightly too large, so I re worked it a little bit and took some Photos with better lighting. If you wanna take a look at the previous post, here it is: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...82-design.html I have to admit, however: The head still feels slightly big to me. I dremeled off some of the jaw line to soften his features a bit and cut a bit more off the back of his neck to allow for a wider range of motion. Didn't want to mod the head too much because I felt like it would have looked really bad if too much was removed. This was some of the most fun I've had making a custom so far. Hope you enjoy it and Thanks for check'n it out.

looks great, especially the dynamite. the old one didn't have a sidearm, though, did he?

The dynamite on the leg makes me all misty eyed. It was my my favorite part of the 1982 figure and I am very glad to see it back. Great job as always!
(I know this thread is about the head, that's wondrous as well!)

Not the original figure. No. I actually removed it, before it was finished, but he didn't look complete without it, so I put it back on... So I guess it's not 100% accurate to the original. hahaha!

Pistol or not, it's a good looking figure. Well done, Sir.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Still brainstorming on what to do with the head though. I just cast a new one that I'm gonna do some major work on, so it might be a while before I update this figure again. I'll probably end up posting him in a thread with other customs. Don't wanna beat a dead horse on one figure with such a tiny fix.
