Hello again, Tankers!
I wanted to make a Zartan that would look good next to my other custom Joes, and I wanted it to have elements of the movie figures and the 25th's emulation of the classic look. I think it's pretty successful. This is the first time I've painted a face, so it's a little hinky. Otherwise I'm pretty dang satisfied with this one. Recipe: Head: ROC Zartan Body: ROC Neo Viper Arms: 25th Buzzer Hands, lower legs: 25th Zartan Upper legs: ROC Elite Viper Belt: 25th Zap and fodder Chest armor: Matt Trakker Boot knife: ROC Flash Scarf: Pilot Destro Backpack: Resolute Trooper This is one of the more extensively painted figures I've done so far. Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking!

I can't say that I've got a problem with the face. It looks good to me. I like the whole look you came up with here. It looks as though you put some time into it. Well done!

It says "Zartan" when I look at it, so it can't be bad... Actually, I think that if Zartan looked more like that in the movie, I would have been thrilled!

I don't think it's your problem with the face, I think it's Arnold Vosloo's

Nice job... Good construction and paint. But the only thing I think he needs is the hood.

dsrader - Thanks!
DnJcustoms - Thank you! I didn't spend a whole long time on it--picking the pieces was probably the most time consuming step, lol. But I did paint more than I typically do. shakka85 - Hey, thanks! Movie Zartan was pretty underwhelming, but it wouldn't have taken a lot to make him a little more compelling, both visually and as a character. Ultimate Jaburg - Could be. Sailor_Joe - Thanks much. As far as the hood goes, I thought it'd be kind of overkill for the look, but the scarf acts in place of it--it could even be the hood as if it is pulled down. ZARTAN.uk - Glad you dig it, thanks. Thanks for looking, Tankers!

I think this looks great! Great blend between classic & movie Zartan. I think the eyes need a little more work, but it's a great custom!
Good stuff! |
