25th Anniversary Claymore vs. Croc Master

iwbeta · **Posted:** Thu Sep 06, 2007 6:34 pm

Croc Master came together one night when I was looking at my extra Roadblock and contemplating who else he could be. The entire figure is Roadblock with greenstuff accessories, the knife is GTG, the M-60 Marauder.

Claymore went through a previous version before I settled on this one. Parts breakdown is:
Head: Biggs
Torso/Waist: Snake-eyes
Arms/Legs: Flint
The helmet is an original sculpt, i plan to do it over, it seems way to big.

Croc Master is good, but the Claymore is awesome.

I know you think the helmet is too big, and I agree, but I really don't think it's that big of a deal. I've seen pics of various soldiers with leaves/foliage in there helmet and it was big. I think it would be okay as is, other than maybe putting a light wash on it to make the individual leaves stand out.

Friggin' Awesome!!!!

So this is what happens when someone actually takes their time and puts effort into a 25A custom? Who'd a thunk it?

There's no way in hell I would have known these were customs if I saw them somewhere else on the 'net. Incredible job, IW!

That Croc Master is PERFECT! Very clean and well done!

These are both great. How does the paint on Croc Master's shoulder joints hold up?

Croc Master is good. You did a great job on the sculpting. I'm just not thrilled wiht the head. It looks a little too alien looking.

Claymore is fantastic. You nailed everything perfectly. If you are positive you're going to change the helmet, I suggest changing the leaves from green stuff to fabric. I think it will make him it look a little bit more realistic and give him that extra pop. While I've seen people do guile suits and hats I don't think I've ever seen someone to that with a helmet before.

Croc's shoulder paint hold up very well, i used thin coats of Model Master's Acryl. For Croc's head, I liked his original design, but i wanted something more intimidating that didn't look like Bane.

I think I have some of those Spy Troops guille suits, I might try that on a helmet, thanks for the idea, Pluv.

The sculpting is phenomenal and the painting is beautiful but what stands out to me is what a perfect head that is for Claymore. Wonderful work on these and I would love to see more 25th from you.

these are really good, croc's head looks a little weird like Pluv said but the rest of him and claymore are perfect. I too would like to see more from you 25th style :-D

Awesome and solid work. I really like them both

Wow, that Croc Master is phenomenal! Excellent work.

That Biggs head is very versatile for 25A customs. First Footloose, now Claymore. The helmet looks kind of funny to me, though.
