He looks good!

A GBD or SWAT emblem somewhere might be a nice touch, a badge showing or something? (name tag from ROC Cover Girl, perhaps?).

Also, I like the long sleeves on your original take on him, if you can transplant the arms, I think it'd do wonders on making him look a little less Hawk like.

a very clean and cool figure. And you nailed the likeness, even of the movie Gordon. I like the parts combo for any civvy styled agent, and will have to copy it. having a removable adge dangling from around his neck would be just icing on the cake.

As always, I'm impressed with your customs as well as the stories you tell about them. I enjoyed your original JG, but you update rocks.

Thanks, everybody. The ease of making the original and even greater ease of porting over the head and vest onto Hawk certainly wasn't anything difficult.

The CG badge idea is definitely do-able; I just gotta figure out where Gordon would wear it. Pinned to the vest, from a neck chain, or maybe hanging off his belt? And I got no idea how to mod the Joe logo on the badge to make it look like something GCPD official. Will probably have to monkey something up in MSPaint. Thanks for the idea, Dan.

I agree about the 3/4ths sleeves looking better, but I frankly didn't want to have to go through all that trouble for a simple headswap. We'll just say this is his summer version and the other's the autumn light sweater version, yes?

And I don't quite remember where the goggles come from, but I want to say one of the old InToyz SWAT guys I hoarded at $3 each as a local K*B was going out of business. I had to paint the black on it as it was entirely clear, if that helps any.

Consider that head idea stolen. My KOTCS Russian soldier custom using that head will have to make do without it.

I would say hanging from his belt to the left of the buckle, directly over the front of his left hipbone (right on that first loop)

Everytime I see Gordon standing on the roof wearing a trenchcoat he's got the badge there. If he has his sidearm on his right hip, he would be having his left side closer to anyone he needs to draw his weapon on. That way the badge is prominent and he can unholster with right hand and brace with left hand.

I did reverse the image though. Just wish the tie was curving right...
