Post subject:  Quick Update for Flint
Flint is one of those favorites of mine that I can't stop tweaking. I am still using the base figure from my last version, which I feel like I finally got right. After getting the Resolute packs, however, I knew I had to upgrade the gear on mine, as I love that look.

I also found a decent beret to fit this head which is removable without looking too chunky (and replaces my poor attempt at sculpting the previous swappable head.

And here's a quick small upgrade for Starbuck also, having smoothed out the sculpted shirt, a touch more than before:

Still not perfect, but going for a stretched shirt look. Had I opted for smooth from the outset, it would look fine, but my mixed attempt has left it a little off.

Anyway, let me know what you think. I have some massive updates and new figs coming, as time allows.

Flint is looking really good and I am more impressed by that Starbuck every time I see her.

I like them both, (Really cool that you included a homage to the Adventure Team on flint).

Thanks guys. The funny thing on Flint is that when the Resolute figure came out, they used about 90% of the parts I had already been using on this custom. Part of me didn't like using the Res. gear as it makes it even more of a duplicate, but I love the look now.

Samsallspark - in my verse Flint is the head of the Adventure Team. Just seems like a good fit to me.

Onyx, thanks for looking man! These are just some simple updates, but I have some new stuff in the works again.

Spin, I know on Starbuck, and thanks - she gets a little better each time. Not quite perfect yet, but I think I'm done with her.

The Flint looks great, especially the head. What is the head from?

Thanks Tim. I thought the Resolute gear was just too cool to not use. The beret is one I chopped and dremeled hollow, nabbing him from a SpyTrooper or J v. C era Stalker. not the one that recently re-appeared at Family Dollar and Big Lots, but a different one with a much wider face. I'd actually take more of them if I could find them, as it's a sweet beret once modified.

While I'm doing some updates, here's one I am posting only for future consistency in my story. I've decided the Resolute Stalker head will be default for the EXCAL version, so I updated my Prisoner Stalker, accordingly. If he makes it out alive, this head will be used for his main figure in my verse. :shifty:
