Well it looks like Big Lots made me into a liar. I was asked in my last Steel Brigade thread if I would make a version A and I was all "Probably not as I like Duke torso's better" But then I saw a $4 Airborne at Big Lots and now I have a version A Steel Brigade Custom.
This time around I had to add a removable belt since the torso didn't have one. I always thought the Cobra Officer belt looked better than the Gung-Ho one on the original so I went with that instead Here he is next to my first version: I used the same head mold but wanted to give it a different look so I painted a different hairstyle (It helped that my brush is seperating and getting old) This also gave the the chance to fix mistakes I made with my first Steel Brigade like not painting the green stripe above the visor, the new one has that green stripe now Helmet - Pit Commando Beret - Marauder John Head - Cobra Soldier (I forget which version excatly, but it had a red balaclava) Torso - Airborne Vest - Airborne Belt - Scarface Arms - Cobra Commander (Comic Pack Wave 1) Legs -Airborne Rifle - Airborne For those interested, here's the paints I used: Testors Acrylic Paint Marker 2632 "Silver Argent" Testors Model Master Acryl 4700 "Semi-Gloss Black" Testors Model Master Acryl 4734 "Medium Green" Testors Model Master Acryl 4674 "Leather" Tamiya Color X-14 "Sky Blue" Last edited by Shogi; 08-04-2010 at 12:14 PM.. |

Great work.
Always enjoy customs with little paint, it's interesting how people can pull a full figure with simple combinations, and gives the chance to others to make their own. I think i like this one better. Looks more proportioned.
