Bazooka body with Gung-Ho head, Heavy Duty mini gun, ammo belt, harness, Road Block ammo box, modified Indiana Jones hat.
I especially like how the MTV image worked out, the "snake skin" pattern on the hat band and the weathering on the ammo box. The MTV image was some vector art I found on the internet. At first, I was going to paint it by hand, but I'm not steady enough at that size. Then I thought I'd get it cut out of vinyl, but there was no way a computer vinyl cutter was going to get all the details at that size. Then I thought about getting a decal, but for even just one it gets crazy expensive. So, on a lark, I decided to try printing it on sticker paper using my computer at work. THAT worked out remarkably well! By the time I got all his gear on, you can't even tell it's a sticker, but of course, you can barely see it. I still have yet to get an M60 so I can get an accurate "handle" to add below the main barrel. Other than that, it's done. Hand painted camo pattern on the pants, bandage is a tiny section of plumbers tape wrapped around the arm, outlined with black and bloodied with red. Thoughts? Suggestions? The Colonel's secret receipe? |

I was all excited by the title. While it's no homicidal, all-knowing slo-trans monorail, it is an awesome custom.
Now you need to make a battle damaged one with the giant hole in his guts.

You know, I just realized that movie starred TWO United States governors!
Pretty slick work. It's funny, I don't get all the love for Predator, but a bunch of Joe fans are really into it. It does make for some pretty cool commando units though. |
