Ok so I found a pristine Tomahawk at a LGS with an oldschool Liftticket for a fair price. Lifttickets is missing the mouthpiece (a common missing piece). I want to make a custom 25th anniv lift ticket. Here the original www.yojoe.com/action/86/liftticket.shtml
Any ideas for easy conversions / great ideas for the pieces. After starting this post I searched and found this http://www.hisstank.com/forum/attach...4&d=1207792520. I unknowingly stole my body idea (using ww) Im thinking to get a Comic Breaker. That headset will work good and I love his belts and holsters. Im thinking a little conversion, putty, and paint for the helmet. Advice?

Ok, I would use the air trooper's legs... Cobra Commander's arms... ummm..... Ace's body, VvV Ace helmet with the air mask cut off and a small mouthpiece glued on and Hawk's head. That's all I've got for now.

Ok so I bought the ACE/Wild Weasel Pack, and got to work. I figure I would complete the body first (see if I like it and if I wanted to finish / put more money into it). I completed the body and base last night and couldn't wait to take some pics today to show everybody. Im bummed though to find out Im not the first to do a Custom 25th anniv Lift ticket, or even the first to use a WW body. So if I cant be the first I wanna be the best. I switched out aces's hands and lower arms (only cause I liked them slightly more, and snapped WW's right hand off at the wrist). The other L.T conversion and original fig I found (see above links) had his revolver in a left breast holster. Ive never liked the idea of having a loaded gun strapped inches from your heart so I decided to keep the holster on the hip and avoid and timely/difficult conversions (the chest holster conversion would of also made the gun fixed and static and I would not of been able to remove it). What is everyones thoughts. Be honest (brutely honest) this is my first conversion ever, and Im a big boy and want some serious critisism from you serious individuals out there. I'm currently in dental school working on my doctorate and do alot of work with my hands doing fabrications and working with diff materials but I have to admit this is different.

Looks pretty good. The red looks a little orange but I'm sure that's just the lighting. Once you get a head on it, you should take closer pics

Not too bad. I like the overall design and colors look clean minus lighting issues. Can't wait to see some close ups....especially with a head. LOL
Guppy, you are now the third person to do such. That is what I am doing to mine after talking to another person whom I met through Alyosha. Finding the tan color to match is a pain in the butt. Make sure you buy a lot at one time from the same place. They tend to go through various shades (Even if it's the same brand and color) when bought a few at a time. really sucks.
