Classified Chip "Raptor" Talon & General Ledger (#139)

J James · 11-18-2024, 09:38 PM

Reminds me a little of Vulture 2099 from the old 90s Spider-Man 2099. A horrifying character, one of the scariest comic characters I ever read as a kid.

Finished my Raptor mods. Gave him a lot of detail enhancement, converted his claws into removable forearm mounted things (by installing a Styrene peg and made use of the holes). Painted the eyes on the headdress gold to kill the taxidermy look, Hooked up the jewels on his necklace and forearms and installed rivet covers on the wings and interior of the pack. Also removed the "jet tampo" that was for some inexplicable reason stamped on the TOP. Nothing really major but, I'm happy with how it came out.

EDIT: Also repainted his face.

That looks awesome. Love the mod to the claws. Works way better

Thanks dude. I originally was just going to paint the eyes on the headdress gold. The project just kind of ballooned.

I gave him a 7. Took off a point for General Ledger, his hands not being the proper size to hook the claws all the way on, and his neck not having a hinge, so he can look up when in flight mode. I know Classified usually don't have hinges, but it should be mandatory for flying characters.

Another forgotten one as well

I gave him a 9
he is cool I like the modernization of him and he makes the Arah version look just terrible now . It?s amazing what the classified team can/has done with lower tier characters ..
