Just threw this guy together with some spare parts from my bins and a custom sculpt from The Angel Forge. Kinda looks like a CIA or PMC type...

Code Name: I-Spy

Recently finished this one as well... The camo took a long time to get to the point where I was happy with it. And the Retaliation Trooper sculpt has become a favorite!

Code Name: Hardcore

Holy crap. The paint job on Hardcore is top notch, but I think I like I-Spy more. He looks very Adventure Teamish.

I love the camo on Hardcore. That looks superb.

I-Spy does look Adventure team-ish which really fits what you are going with.

Dude! These both great, but in my opinion Hardcore takes the cake! Awesome paint work there. What legs are those, ROC Duke?

The whole figure is RoC Duke, except for the headsculpt. Wanted this one to be straight military...

Thanks for the comments. Both figures came out better than I thought they would (I-Spy had a lighter skin tone than I care to use, but I wanted to keep him as playable as possible; Hardcore's camo was a bear, but after I finished it I was really happy with it)...

took the words right out of my mouth. damn.

I like I-Spy for the reasons mentioned as well as the fact I think it's a Darko head

Nope, not Darko....it's me, Spectre (Slayer Designs did my headsculpt a few years back and it's popped up on 3 or 4 casting sites in the past year :) ).

The skin tone is about right, I'm pretty fairskinned despike being 1/3 Cherokee.

Funny, I thought it was someone from this board that the head resembled, but couldn't think of who... Now I know. I guess you look like an Adventure Team member, Spectre!

ahh, got it. your Slayer sculpt and Darko's are a pretty decent likeness though. I need to nab some also. I have room for a few more EXCAL cameos...
