Ha, well very accurate, I don't remember that, but good job. |

Very nice, who's head is under that beard? |

I'm thinking movie Ripcord. Looks great! |

That's a great likeness and a character I'd forgotten about completely. |

Thanks, all. Yes, that's a movie Ripcord head. I thought about building up the scalp to go for the wooly hair seen in the comic, but liked the look I got by simply adding on the beard and widow's peak. |

good eye for parts, and nice likeness. I dig the SW approach to your motivations of late - appear on screen (or in a comic panel) and your figure will be made eventually. lol |

I had plans to make this figure also, so I'm checking it out for like the 8th time now. I see the movie Ripcord head, but what other parts were used, please? |

I'm already parting together a CIA Liason custom from the same issue.  The Ahmed recipe is: Head: ROC Ripcord Upper torso, upper arms: IJ Cairo Swordsman Lower arms, waist, legs: IJ German Soldier Boots: SW:AOFC Anakin Skywalker Bandolier: Chap Mei Ninja??? Satchel: IJ Indiana Jones w/bandolier ammo portion from Chap Mei figure gunbelt I didn't heat up the hands enough before popping them out, so they busted and had to be glued back in a set position. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with most of the parts. I was afraid that the Anakin Skywalker boots would make the whole thing come off as a Jedi, but the inclusion of the ammo belt and satchel seems to offset any Jedi look. |

Dead ringer for the CIA guy from Marvel #6. Edit: The guy on the far right. Scroll down for close up pics... http://figure-archive.net/item.aspx?itemID=2241 |
