I'm working on a Sgt. Savage custom/kitbash, inspired by this picture:

Best bet will likely be one of 21st Century Toys' WWII Marines. Might find one amongst their 101st Airborne figures, too.

Yes what he said ^^^^^^^
I may have a cast of a head that would work. I'll check and let you know. |

marvels Kraven the hunter
the face is very close. you would need sand off the beard. also, trim and sand the back of the head to get the high and tight look though. maybe too much work. Last edited by Indiana Joe; 06-10-2014 at 06:06 PM.. |

Club Muskrat kinda has that look.
but a cast would probably be easier to obtain. or even Retaliation Flint. He even has the flip up top.

All great suggestions - thanks!
The key thing for me is finding a head with that square-jawed, and generally square-head look. |

2cena_zps02bbc32a.jpg Photo by SwaggerfanWill | Photobucket I'm trying to put together a no-paint Sgt. Savage, but it just doesn't seem to come together. So far I have the following: Upper and lower torso, upper and lower legs: DG green Shipwreck (with kneepads removed) Feet: POC Jungle Duke Upper and lower arms: Retaliation 3-pack Roadblock Hands: Red Dog Watch: Xamot, cut approx. in half lengthwise, with a dab of silver on the face Belt: DG wave 1 Duke Ammo belt: Kwinn, with a dab of superglue Head: DG John Cena (I sanded down its Dumbo ears a bit) Firearm: Cryo-freeze Sgt. Savage M1919 Pineapple hand grenades: Marauder, painted green Helmet: this Captain America, painted OD green: http://www.actionfigurepics.com/wp-c...WII-wave-1.jpg I rubbed all the exposed skin down with soot, per a suggestion in this thread: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...aint-joes.html which helps mask the minor differences in skin tone, and which also helps achieve the look that I was going for: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Eisenhower_d-day.jpg Last edited by Siouxer Viper; 06-11-2014 at 12:13 AM.. |

That Cena head looks great for Sgt Savage. maybe touch up the eyebrows for an angrier look.
