first off, i love this toy. he is WAY cooler in hand than any pics indicated. great paint apps and the backpack glider is awesome, if not a little ridiculous. i was very pleasantly surprised.
i didn't like the helmet, though. painted it black, still looked off to me, so i went w/ my all time favorite joe helmet- the 25th paraviper. ended up having to use a paraviper head, too, 'cause the skydive head was too little for the paraviper head gear. other than that, just some minor touch ups, got rid of the poc logos (painted the shoulder, used acetone for the glider wings), painted his hands black, hit the inside of the rocket things w/ some red and painted the hoses on those black. he would totally work as a poc rip cord to me, but i kinda already made one, he's the green guy in the last pic.

They both look cool.

Great job!
I just picked up that fig too, and likewise wasn't pleased w/ the rubbery helmet. Other than that, I thought the character/fig was f'in Awesome!!! I hope they treat T.A.R.G.A.T. & Raptor to the same Ridiculous amount of detail! You Are aware, of course, that this idea is now MINE right? Last edited by Neuspeaq; 03-04-2011 at 09:58 PM.. |
