Ah, another arctic vehicle custom. How I love arctic vehicles. This was supposed to be a simple repaint but the white paint I was using just would not cover even after 4 coats. So I bought some light gray (which will be used on another custom) and it covered fine. The gray gives it a worn look that I really like.    All: 25th Sky Hawk Frost is the Snow Hawk pilot. I don't have a bio for him yet.   Head: Broken Arrow Toys Body: 25th Snow Job Pistol: Marauder Inc. |

so any problems with pilot fit? I heard a few guys complain that the cockpit was too small for the 25th bodies. |

Nice job on the Snow Hawk, but it does need touching up on the nose of the canopy. |

I considered sanding it off but I like the look of it. I think of it as ice that has built up on the glass. No problems with the figure fitting. His head sits back a bit further than I'd like but as you can see in the pics he fits just fine. Kilcarr - if he was a standard Snow Joe I'd think about a scarf or mask but since he's in a cockpit most of the time I didn't see the need. Glad you guys like 'em! |

Niiiiiice! As I've said many times, snow customs are just awesome by default. |

Very cool. This actually makes sense for a role for the Sky Hawk. It is on skis to begin with and could easily glide across the snow, possibly easier than it could fly. I could never understand how it actually flew anyway. I like color and it does have a worn look to it. The pilot is a nice new character, a mask is not necessary in my opinion, especially with the closed cabin of the 25th version. |

Although I despise you for just finding a new Sky Hawk to customize, that's great work!  The pilot is equally good. |

These are both really nice MS. The pilot is a nice complimentary figure, but the Snow Hawk itself steals the show. Very realistic paint apps, and as said above, a perfect role for that vehicle. |
