Ok so I cheated a bit and used the DVD pack Stalker body as a base so I wouldn`t have to paint yellow. I ABSOLUTELY hate painting with yellow! Oh well, this gives him a more muted yellow look with a little more camo which I feel is more practical for him anyways. The torso was from Bossk while the helmet and breathing parts were from various SW parts. The head was from JVC Depth Charge, this was to keep the flesh of his neck showing underneath and keeping an "Airtight" look. Oh and I replaced the knife holster with a gun holster. I`m very happy with how he turned out.

Oh, man! This is one really NICE looking figure! Beautiful job!! I hope Hasbro "borrows" your idea here!! Also, it's a little thing, but I really, really like the gloves you used--they make this figure look so tight! (Pardon the pun... :-D )

That works surprisingly well.

It's like it is readily identifiable as Airtight, but it has the look of a next-gen style upgrade to it. Same uniform, just refining it.

Well done.

Sweet custom. The camo pattern looks to me more like he just came out of dealing with some nasty muck rather then actual camo on his suit, which actually makes it better in my mind.

The Stalker body really is a good starting point. The two-tone pattern has a dull yellow, which is better than the original crayon yellow, and it looks like an "update" the character.

Good job!

Ditto what DJ said. Incredible choices and utilization of parts.
