Hey all,
I have a couple of new ones to share. They're really more like modifications than customs. The first is Grunt. He utilizes a Hawk body and a heavily modified Anakin Skywalker head from attack of the Clones. I chose the head because of the unique clenched teeth that really reminded me of the original card art for Grunt. I also sculpted his new hair with a high forehead like the original figure.The M- 16 is Marauder Last edited by miked; 03-27-2010 at 08:33 PM.. |

Here he is with a couple of other head cases who required serious modification and/ or complete transplants.

Next up is a Cobra squad sgt. Thanks to Marauder John's fantastic selection of hihgly detailed weapons, I've been able to build a diverse 9 man assault squad of Cobra soldiers that includes specialists. I decided I needed someone slightly unique to fill the chain of command between these guys and an officer and this is what I came up with. He uses a helmet from a Sand Viper (I think that's what you call 'em) painted Cobra blue and an equipment harness from Alyosha. The belt with the sidearm is from a bbi figure and his AK- 47 is Marauder. I sculpted him a buzz cut and grayed it out alittle so he looks a little older and more experienced than the stock trooper and added some battle hardening in the form of facial scars. The eyewear on the helmet are meant to be image intensifiers and not night vision. Thanks for looking, and I always appreciate comments and/ or criteria.

Some of it does (this little gun belt fits perfectly), other items are too big and need to be modified. The harness/ belt packs from Alyosha are a bit large for this figure, but it really doesn't bother me. I bought it because I like the bulky look of it for this character.

Glad you like it- swipe away! It was alot of work to convert the head and get rid of Anakins afro, but I think it worth it. The head really works for me. Thanks for the comments!

I really dig the Grunt as well as the Duke head. Is Duke's head from the RAH-style comic 3 pack? I haven't thought about converting ARAH heads so that they would fit on 25th bodies, but if the scale is right, that could be kind of cool to play around with. . .

nice mods I like. The only thing thats odd for me is the placement and length of the pistol holder on the trooper. If you look at the siloette of the figure it kinda looks like a...you know...;)
Anyways, not sure if a soldier running with a holder that dangles that long (even not in the groinal area) would like the pistol wacking the sides of his leg or his groin. Maybe reposition it to attach to one of the suspender straps? |
