Gotta give big thanks to Carn for the advice on sculpting the armor.
I still have a few tweaks and touchups but he is 99% complete and I couldnt wait to show him off.

And here is a crappy cell phone pic to show the WIP sculpting of the armor.

As always thanks for looking.

Never been a fan of the character, but I really dig the look of this custom. You did a great job sculpting the armor, and he looks nowhere near as bulky as the original, which is probably why I like him so much.

The helmet looks too wide to me, though (is that a Dremeled-out original?) Still, very cool all the way around.

The helmet is a VvV Duke pilot helmet with the o2 mask cut off. It was the only one that I could find that wasnt excessivly wide that would fit the face shield.

Works for me. I like the pads: well done.

Damn, TC.

For someone that was talking of getting out of this hobby, you have been kicking out some truly awesome customs lately!

Fast Draw is FOW!

Props to Carn for the armor idea and props to you for creating it! Very nicely done, TC!

you sir are king of the remakes lol. I really like this one, not so much the character just the custom itself.

great job on a dumb character, you did a great rendition of him

Great job, never was a fan of the old figure, but your remake corrects a lot of my problems with it.

Wow, that's pretty snarly. A lot of work on that padding, but it looks totally cool. I'd like a bit more info on how you converted the classic backpack to fit the new figures.

You've also given me an idea, in a round about sort of way

Nice work!

He turned out Awesome! Great work on the pads once again. You were right about the paint on them :-P

This figure is Sexy... I would buy it off you if it was on ebay and I collected Joes.

Nice work on the sculpting, especialy on such a large area. Like others have said, I'm not crazy about the charecter, but your custom came out great.
