First off, very uncanny how Major Blood was debuted on Friday. I had been working on this custom during the week, and finished on Thursday night. Friday after I get home from work my son asked me about it, I told him about the character, why he still had two eyes - "He's Lt. Bludd now". And no chit, as soon as I was done telling him about it, I asked him if he was ready to watch Renegades on DVR - I got home from work after it aired.
Anyhow, I added one more piece to him, and he's ready for display. Some color-scheme similarities to Renegades, but not at all inspired by it. So far to date this is them most uncanny custom I've made by far. Enjoy tankers!

I did the same except mine has his patch, but instead of his signature brown uniform, mine has an Avac uniform w/ Resolute Cobra Commander blk version lower legs giving him long boots and instead of basic blk bludd helm replaced with an xtra ubp gunner helmet.
Whats ur recipe on this guy? |

Whats ur recipe on this guy? I'm gonna track down that Reso CC in black one day . . . The recipe is Head: Obvious? Helmet: UBP Cobra Gunner Goggs: RoC Para Viper Battle Vest: 25th Viper, shoulder mod Rest of body: DOCI Air Viper with leg mod pouch. This Major Bludd was built around the UPB Hiss Tank Color Scheme. The gunner was geared up too (RoC Night Adder Vest). The driver is getting bashed sometime as well, may use a Crimson Neo-Viper. Or pattern one after the PoC Hiss Tank driver. How did you come up with a patch? Or anyone for that matter? Ive tried black string with patch made of rubbery plastic, and a all rubbery plastic one. I got short calloused fingers that make things like that a pain to work on.

I really like the way this one came out. Good use of parts.
Bludd is and always has been one of my favorite Cobras and for some reason HAsbro just doesnt give him any love what so ever. I really need to get off my ass and make me one. |

He has been one of my favorite characters period, starting with that Mercenary tag he's always had. Leaves alot to the imagination when youre a kid, and as an adult. Better than a ninja anyway :p I forgot to mention that the shoulder & leg mod came from the RoC Gunship Firefly. I clipped it up for another (failed) project, and got use out of it here. Both pieces slip into place, and require no extra holding to keep in place during posing. Same with goggles, but I had to loop the straps behind the head and under the helmet to do so. The leg pouch is kind of bulky, but the fact that the soft rubber wraps so well around the leg requiring no extra hold is the trade off.

Hey guys, I did a little update to my Major Bludd custom.
In my first post, I was saying how he was Lt. Bludd with both his eyes present or accounted for. In the update, I changed his head to the RHINO driver's head, with a scar on his left cheek by his eye patch. The eye patch isn't anything spectacular, and I still need to get that perfected. I also changed his lower arms to the redonkulous 25th Vipers arms. I did that to open him up to leading a Viper team in the future. I imaged my 25th Firefly here because I did a couple things here with him too. I changed his knees to Cobra Flint's and added the wrist piece from one of the Crimson Twins. It's just a tweak, but I like the little adds.
