Well i can see my first mistake was to assume my cell phone takes good up close photos. this will teach me to be too lazy to get my camera out of my truck.


first up is the man of evil inspired by the 12" club offering


simple scrap iron update
head -walmart exclusive scrap iron
body -dollar general trooper
web gear -ripcord


red ninja update


the next 9 are part of an original 13 project. when i seen the wave 2 dollar general shipwreck, the first thing i thought of was the original 13. my goal was to use the body and use as little paint as possible, since my hands just arent steady enough. a huge special thanks goes out to raging spoon who cast and designed the custom web gear on 5 of them and all the holsters for me. all these ones are waiting for are some gear from maurader john.

snake eyes


sgt. stalker


hawk


breaker


clutch


grunt


short fuze


rock and roll (still needs a little gold on the bandoliers)


grand slam


not pictured -zap is just waiting for a head, flash will follow grand slam's recipe but need a head, steeler needs gear, and scarlett i cheated and used resolute version

Great work. You've created a very plausible alternative to the OG13 releases we've gotten.

What head did you use for the Man of Evil?

These are good. It's a shame that the Shipwreck body wasn't molded in one olive drab tone- it would really capture the feel of the '82 figures a bit more that way. But they still look decent, especially Grand Slam.

the head is from retaliation firefly. i think i am going to tweak him a little more by removing the cobra symbol and highlighting the scars a bit.

grand slam is my favorite out of the batch, and i never even thought about the web gear until i seen someone here had one painted up.
