Finally got around to painting some "Alyosha" cast heads and doing a few upgrades to some Joes.
Duke & Flint: Alyosha cast heads, painted to match. Trimmed arms to hold guns better. Added Flint's gloves. I'll probably upgrade to short sleeves when the TF one comes out, or just use a Viper torso with Tomax lower arms. Grunt: Comic 3-pack head, Duke's backpack, all painted to match. Storm Shadow: Same as some others have previously showcased here. Comic pack "all-white" version with sleeveless arms from Xamot's upper arms. Painted to match. I've got an Alyosha Flash head to upgrade too. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Thanks to ALL who recommended painting techniques for the eyes. I tried both the small brushes and toothpicks. The best solution turned out to be a toothpick trimmed down extra fine with an Xacto blade. Comments and Critiques welcome! Last edited by MrClean; 12-24-2008 at 07:25 PM.. |

Great work, if only I had skills to swap out the Grunt head w/ the comic pack Grunt. Oh well eventually I'm gonna have to cave in and buy a dremel...

they all look great. I'm might be alone but I like the Flint head so I'm not planning on chaning that one out. But the Duke does look a lot better.

Does Grunt's helmet fit on the old comic pack head?

Schlappyguy: It's a tight fit. I didn't want to rub the paint, so I just left it off. However, Breaker's helmet fits perfectly, but I just like the look of the head without it.
Amberbratt - you made me laugh out loud on the glove comment! maybe he needs Mickey ears instead of the beret. Jinx723 - I actually don't use my dremel to hollow out the heads. I use a curved Xacto blade and basically just cut and scoop out the plastic. Then I use the hot glue gun method to fit the head on nicely. Thanks all! |
