AIRTIGHT
A character I refused commissions on for the longest time until enough existing yellow parts were available to avoid painting him. the helmet is an Eels helmet modified that is removable. LIFELINE Probably my 5th or 6th crack at the character. every time I finish one I hope it is the last one, and then I get another commission for him. DEVIL'S DUE BILLY Haven't had a chance to write his filecard but have had him sitting around long enough. Made this for a fellow board member who hooked me up with something I was looking for for free. so the lesson is, if you want free customs, be nice to ol'cbr and I always pay it back disproportionately in your favor. |

Those all look awesome! Great use of parts with airtight. I used yellow paint for mine. It was a pain in the ass to get the yellow perfect. I had to primer him first so the color underneath didn't show. Shaving down the joints, so there wasn't any rub was hard work as well. I also like the mods you did to the eels helmet too. In my opinion that's the closest to the original vintage helmet, without using the actual vintage helmet. Great work as usual. I can appreciate the amount of effort you put into each of these figures.

Always great customs! Like they came right out of the '80s and early '90s, but with modern articulation. Billy and Lifeline are spot on, Airtight looks great except for the helmet, but I don't know of a better solution. Either way, the helmet is good, just not perfect yet.

All of them look awesome man! That recipe for Airtight is great. Not having to paint yellow is always a good thing!
