Not my best work I know, but I think he will do.
Now I just need to find a persuader for him.

What do you guys think?

dead on, but I guess if you wanted to nitpic you could add straps for his holsters.

great job dude. Very close to being exactly like the original. Great job on all that yellow painting

VERY cool! You nailed everything on this guy and the helmet is an inspired choice

You did match the colours, which is a feat but even I'll admit isn't doing the custom any favours. Parts selection looks solid, but the armour could fit better. I'd like to see a shot with the helmet off to get a feel for the head.

It's pretty good, but I wonder if a torso with molded on armour and a slightly larger helmet might be better. And, if you're just looking for a good loking figure, I'd suggest swapping the yellow pants for the green of the torso and going with a browner shade of red.

Thanks for the complements and sugestions Scrams.
The head is just a Spytroops Tunnel Rat, which I picked becauseof the resemblance of the face to the original.

As for colors, I actually didnt mind the color choices of the original so I left them as is.

Very cool ideas though Scrams, thanks for your input.

I can't beleive how well the parts match the original RAH. I would have changed up the yellow and red to tan and brown.

Backstop looks good, TC.

Question though, now that you made this one, are you gonna make this one?

UUuuuummmm no.

Thanks again everyone for the comments and feedback.

I would like to say I like it and then say you should have listened to me and sculpted the armor.
That being said he's pretty darn cool. Paints match up real well.

Spot on to the original! I don't have much to add, other than echoing the need for holster straps (that always bugs me) and for the helmet to sit lower.
