After digging around in the Action Force toy archives in bloodforthebaron.com, I thought, this one seems easy enough to reimagine.
Red Wolf Granted, there's still some work to do, I need to find some shoulder pads, get a pair of lower legs that work and clean the Imperial symbols off the helmet a little more. But I like it. Head: Serpentor Torso, upper legs: Snow Serpent Arms, breathing gear: Baron Fel I opted to attempt something different with the helmet. Instead of a flat red line down the center I faked some paint smears into looking like flames. Also in going with the Serpentor head, I was able to avoid modifying the snow serpent neck which is too long for most heads to stand alone. Edit: While I never have gotten around to finishing the original project, Hasbro was kind enough to give me the Lazy Man's starter kit. It was just a matter of a few finishing touches to turn the Pilot Destro into Red Wolf. I'm still debating the shoulder pads. Last edited by Hicks_Royel; 02-18-2009 at 10:27 PM.. |

Didn't know who Red Wolf was before looking at your link, but your fig is looking good so far.

Looking good sir! I think this is going to look great. I really need to take a crack at Red Shadows but I am working on Argen 7.

Thanks. I need to get around to finishing him...
I picked up some of those fake fingernails the other day to add the shoulder pads. Fortunately, Kroger had the self scan cause I didn't want to go through that story with the clerk... I still need to find some lower legs that'll work a little better than the snow serpent's. I just don't know which ones I want to use yet. The hands are a different color since one is painted and the other is poorly dyed. I'll wind up painting the right hand when I'm done but wanted to give it something other than a pink flesh tone underneath if/when the paint starts to flake. |

Likin him so far mate! I am planning to do more Action Force customs after my recent attempt at the Baron.

I guess this would count as a Bump. New pictures on the original post.
