Well now I'm glad I bought that 2nd set of Rebel Pilots on clearance - I know where the Jake head is going - though to be honest, I still think the Airborne head looks great. But this one definitely gives Flint a more seasoned look. I'm not really a fan of the Quaid body because it's so small, but it works here. And like Joe, I would have loved to own your previous version, but apparently you're a greedy, selfish prick

Good work on him- and like always, I dig the little details like the AT belt buckle and the shotgun shells. I'd move the knife sheath to the small of the back, though - under the arm is cumbersome-looking, IMO. The detailing on the head is just phenomenal -- did you repaint the eyes at all? - they look a little different.

And STOP with all the Knighthawks already. Because every time you post a new Knighthawk I have to post an updated Moon Knight - I'm tired of it!

Every part of the head was repainted, Dan, including the eyes. I wasn't going to use the Quaid body at first for the reason you mentioned. But the upper arms are very muscular and when you add in the TF Flint lower arms, its give the appearance of more bulk. Same is true of the Res Duke legs over the Quaid legs.

The previous figure had a Darth Maul torso, so he was definitely more ripped overall.

Greedy selfish prick? Honey, is that you? Sorry, forgot where I was for a second...

Anyway, yeah the last Flint donated some parts for this one, which is why I didn't make him available. But now I know what to get TWO people for Christmas. Also, Moon Knight is on my to-do list, so I expect a KH to be on yours...

need a quick opinion. working on a beret-wearing swappable head for this Flint. Should I paint him such that it is identical to this head, 5 o'clock shadow and all? Or make it clean shaven, as if it is his cleaned up look?

_________________

either way to go is good but I think I'd go with the 5 oclock since it is fitting for the character and you don''t see too many figs with one either

yeah, that's kind of what I had decided as well. I found another of those pilot sets on sale for $9, so I went ahead and chopped up another Jake F. head to go for the swap-able head beret. Let me know what you think, and how well the paint matches the first one. Tim, the one I'm doing for you will hopefully be done soon.

That looks great. The flesh tone matches perfectly, and doesn't look like it's flaking off of the arms at all (which is a feat in itself). Clean, simple, effective.

Thanks Darko. I agree that whether or not the flesh paint flakes at the elbows is hit and miss. with the alt head now included, this is one of my favorite customs in terms of how well/lucky all the parts turned out for me.

another quick update. a character previously introduced as "The Duke" (obviously Duke inspired, but a different person in my verse) - gave him a helmet and changed up his gear to the more traditional bandolier:

the beret headed flint is nice, the flesh as said so smooth and matches and I definately am awaiting the one you are painting for me.Flint is one of your best customs to date, and the duke is looking good so far too, keep it up man
