I'm glad everyone likes these. I haven't done much 4" customizing lately and these are the result of a customizing spree that inspired me to get back in the saddle. To answer a few things about these figures...

Rock 'n' Roll - he's about the same height as my other RnR figures. Consistency in height and size is something I strive for in my RnR customs so it worked out that he stands about the same, with a little difference due to his being barefoot. His arms and torso look a little bigger than the others but I can live with it. I see this as RnR before he enlisted, back when he was at his bodybuilder biggest. And yeah Rock would be a long boarder for sure but the short board was just easier to make.

Adventurer "Me" - Viper, the torso is awesome. I did have to put some Fixit into the mid-torso joint to tighten it up but aside from that its a great piece. I wanted to bring out all the detail with my painting and even though I hit most of the sculpted parts I don't think I did it justice.

And regarding the pants color, I did consider a tan but the base legs are that O13 olive and I wanted to avoid obvious paint rub issues. But I see where you "pro-tan" guys are coming from and agree. Its just this was easier and I'm lazy like that.

Cap Armor - I can see where people are coming from on the wings but I disagree. Yes they look off slightly but I think they are part of the charm of the design. I imagine they were something Tony would add to make it instantly recognizable as Steve's armor. I mean, who else would have those crazy looking wings on their head intentionally. Only Steve.

I'm not happy with the star on the chest. I spent more time on that than I did the rest of the painting and adding the wings and its still not where I want it to be. I need to find a nice super fine point silver Sharpie or equivalent to draw the star. I just haven't looked for one yet.

RnR is a pure win!!! Great work!

I picked up an MU Iron Patriot for cheap and carved off the star for my movie Captain America armor. I painted the center of it similar to the arc reactor of the other armors. I sanded off some of the star that I had painted on the chest originally and in the close-up you can see it bleeding through underneath. But in person you can't see it unless you look really close. Anyway, I'm much happier with this update and I think he's ready to take his place in the armory.
