25th Dogfight

Sometimes the parts dictate my customs. I'll see something and say "That's perfect for so and so" and regardless of any particular affinity for the character I'll get to work. Still, I like how he came out.

Comic Pack Shipwreck torso, upper legs, and knees, Last Crusade Indy jacket and arms, 25th Snake-Eyes lower legs, 25th v3 style SE knees for the kneepads, some Bbi head (with Chap Mei sunglasses and a sculpted 'stache) and a 21st Century hat. The hat doesn't fit as closely as I'd like (it did originally) but I had to remove some material from it to prevent paint rubs on his head. Not ideal, but the only solution I had.

That really works. I probably would have just made the hat unremovable. It doesn't like right the way it is, but I see why you did what you did.

If you wouldn't have mentioned it, i'd say that head was Wild Bill, you did a great job on the mods, the paints is great to, overall you got one hell of a custom, i like to see customs of figs that don't get updated.

Actually, I think I'm going to run to the thrift store before work, see if I can get some cheap headphones to cut up to try and fill in that gap . . .

That's one damn fine custom. Perfect translation from ARAH to 25th.

well that was all sure as "LASER BLAST" perfect for Dogfight, most definitely!

dude, That looks fantastic.

Added some foam to the headphones to fill the gap, not perfect, but looks a bunch better IMO.

Pic kinda sucks now that I look at it though . . .

anyway, glad you guys are digging him.
