Just like with your BF2K figs, you took a character I never liked and made it cool -- excellent job all the way around. The only thing I'd fix is to jazz up his periscope with some paint apps to get it on par with the figure. Awesome work -- what head did you use? |

Looks good. And looks like a rougher, meaner Sneak Peek (and that's a good thing). It looks like you're missing part of the periscope, one of the hand grips is gone. |

Can't complain about that, but I do agree with chief. The vintage periscope seems out of place with the modern figure. |

Now that is what Hasbro should do make figures look like they should. I would say to make the scope fit I would paint it in more real colors and bring out the details |

Very nice. Looks like you stayed a little truer to the original design than my recent effort, and you made those original color choices look better than Hasbro ever could. I think part of what's weird about the periscope (other than the obvious absurdity of the device's size and functionality for a covert observation specialist) is the color. If it matched his belt, it might stick out a little less. |

I agree with everyone else, I'd add some zazz to the periscope. I hate that thing but with the right mods (maybe some translucent paint where the lens should be, a different color or mayeb a camo pattern) would make the periscope less laughable and more awesome. the figure is really good though. I'd buy the figure if they sold it. |

Man, you're really on roll lately. This is great. I like how you captured the bulkiness of the original while also making him look a bit meaner. Is that Steeler's head? |

Definitely makes this character rise quite a bit on the cool-meter. I'd love to see what you could do with Barricade, not that he's a bad figure I'd just like to see your take. |

I thought the same thing, big piece of hardware for someone named Sneak. love your SP, I missed that one looks great especially like your head choice |
