Shipwreck - This is a figure I've wanted to do ever since I first became acquainted with the DDP America's Elite series. I really liked the long hair, watch-cap, beard-but-no-mustache look the artist gave Shipwreck. At the same time, the RoC Shipwreck figure was one of my favorites from that line. I mean, seriously, is there anyone that wouldn't have liked seeing Shipwreck in the film? Anyway, I eventually decided to try combining what I liked from each look. This may not be one of the more difficult or impressive customs I've ever done, but at the moment it is one of my favorites. I'm calling this "City Strike Shipwreck" because he fits so well with my other Pursuit of Cobra figures...
Parts: Entire figure (RoC Shipwreck), Hair (BnB Razor Ramon), H&K G36 Assault Rifle (RoC Pit Commando). Last edited by Sgt Humpty; 08-29-2012 at 03:15 PM.. |

I love that head! I've got one sitting here, waiting for me to find a use for it. This is nice man.
Again, I approve!

LOL - The hardest part was shaving off his mustache with X-acto knife, while not knicking the hell out of his upper lip. Then you just need the rubbery hair-piece from a Razor Ramon figure. I just trimmed away Shippy's hair and then superglued the "mullet" in place.

Thanks guys! I'll always like the classic-look Shipwreck, but I also think that the ones I based this figure on are the best modern versions of him.

Well done, that particular look was my favorite for Shipwreck always loved the long hair and the beard.

The lack of 'stache bugs me, but the figure ROCKS. Kudos.
