IN Progress....
Like most everyone, I didn't like the Wet-Suit that came in the Attack on Cobra Island 7-Pack last year and since then I have been slowly modifying him. First thing I did was get a nice head and re-cast vintage helmet from Broken Arrow Toys (Thanks John!) I then went on a quest for better shins/knees. I posted my quest and some awesome dude (forgot who at the moment) sent me a set of Viper knees and shins for FREE! I was stoked. I then changed out the forearms with Comic Pack Shipwreck's since I had those left over due to my comic book Deep Six custom (that is STILL awaiting the major parts). Not liking those too much (no watch on the left arm and not being sure about the tattoo) I changed them for Cobra Flint forearms when I ended up with those as leftovers due to my Cobra Mutt custom. Now I just need to find a pair of hands I like and then paint the head and helmet. Here are a couple of pics... This pic shows the Shipwreck forearms This pic shows the Flint forearms

I'm gonna put some filler in the helmet to make it sit better on his head. I'll also update the original post when things change.

he's got some serious Popeye arm action going on. i know its Shipwreck's, so that makes sense. but this guy looks like a steel driving man.

I'm doing the sMe thing with my 7 pack wet suit. What head are you using? I found that it's kinda hard to fit the helmet on the standard wet suit head.

I got that custom Wet-Suit helmet with a custom head from Alyosha myself, but I feel the head looks a bit off on the Torpedo/Wet-Suit body..so now I'm trying to find a descent head to use under the helmet in its place.
I tried the head that the RoC Lamprey had as it looks like Wet-Suit does without his helmet on...but it's too big. It's coming down to whether I want a removeable helmet on my Wet-Suit or not now. |

Alyosha did dremel the head out so the head would fit lower on the post. He also adjusted it so it could be posed to look up better (for swimming poses).
