Great job on Ripcord. He was always one of my faverate characters from the Marvel comics.

I still cant find the post here on the tank, but it had a really good mask, it wasn't too fighter pilot and not too SWAT, so it would look good on both of them. I want to say it was from one of the ACE figures, but I'm not sure. I do know a lot of people used a combination of Torpedo's mask and various helmets too. I was thinking about trying that on Blowtorch next.

Ripcord and Blowtorch were my favourite vintage figures. I finally got a Blowtorch that I really like (except I still have to fix his legs).
Now, I finally have a nice Ripcord to put together with Blowtorch. I didn't like the AoCI head that was used. When I saw the POC Joe Mech driver's head, I thought it would be perfect for Ripcord. I had made another one before using Rook's head, but the head was too big to fit the helmet and mask so this one's perfect. I wanted the hose to connect to something so I drilled the end of Ripcord's hose and plugged it to the end of ROC Eels' oxygen tank hose and then modified the parachute pack and the tank to fit each other. It wasn't till after taking the pictures that I realized the tank was not black! haha. Oh well. I'd rather not paint and I'm happy with it. Not everything has to be black. I gave him Tomax's wrist piece so it looks like he has an altimeter. |

I actually don't know. I'd have to check. This head is slightly bigger than the original head though so I don't know if it would fit. Do you have an Airborne head? You can try it yourself and see since Kickstart's head is just a repainted Airborne head.

Well, the oxygen mask hose is too stiff to position in front of the pack, which is why I added the extension. The front pack does have a hole drilled in...it's used for the backpack peg of the oxygen tank.

The way it should be....
Now whose head is that on BBQ? Did you just hollow the helmet similar to the way some did Mainframe? |

BBQ's head is Flash's. He was the only red headed head that would fit in that helmet. The helmet was dremeled out for me and is basically at it's limit. The Mainframe, I did that by hand with a drill bit and an exacto knife.

I really like that oxygen tank mod on Ripcord; it bugs the hell out of me that his mask hose doesn't connect to anything. LOL. *goes to find ROC eel*
