Here is another hole in my collection that is now filled. I can't say that I'm a huge fan of the character, but he was one of the Joes that kicked Cobra's butt in Special Missions #17, so he gets my respect.

I need to do about 45 touch-ups and I'm still not sure about the head (This is the 3rd one), but overall, I'm pretty happy with the way he turned out.

As always, feel free to comment.

Really simple and really excellent.

I hope you give him some decent web gear, though. I've always thought that was what he and Bazooka were really missing.

This is really nice. No critiques.

Yeah, I like him. I think the head works well.

I always liked this character as a kid. I think your version looks great. Keep him the way he is.

I really wish I had half the talent the people on this board have. That said...the hat, to me that is, seems a little too big for his noggin. Other than that a really awesome job!!!

Man, you've been on a really good run lately. I've always enjoyed this character and I think you nailed him. The head really resembles the old one. Whose is it originally?

I've had a head (from BBI), hat and gun set aside for months now, waiting for a good base torso to come out, but that Crimson twin one works really well.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm happy you like him.

Spin Doctor, I hadn't planned on webgear per se. However, I still want to give him a backpack, so straps will be involved.

LeeMarvin80, the head is from Star Wars - Mace Windu, I'm not sure which version. After trying a couple of different heads (including our friend Marlon's), I figured ''when in doubt, go with Samuel L. Jackson.'' It seems to works for movie producers. :lol:

Sharp figure, and it didn't even look like Samuel L. Jackson...
