 Post subject: Depth Charge, Sidetrack, and 5 More

Here's an assortment of odds and ends that I never got around to photographing and posting when I actually made them. The first two are quite old, the rest are from the last year.

Depth Charge - He's from early 2009 when I was in the midst of a 'new sculpt' kick. That was early days for me and the paint job was absurdly tricky at the time.

Image

Image

Image

Sidetrack - I showed a version of him a long time back. He's inspired by an Sgcaper custom. I repainted most of him and added some gear to emphasis the demolition angle, which is his secondary specialty.

Image

Image

Wingman - This guy is painted in homage to Night Force Crazy Legs and named Wingman after Crazy Legs' Brazilian counterpart, Alado, which means winged or swift. I'm really trying to make these CORPS! heads work, but I don't know if I can get away with it.

Image

Image

Bronze Bomber Hard Drive - I decided to re-characterize him as some sort of technician, which might be the only way to get away with this color scheme. Not sure what his exact specialty should be.

Image

Rat Race - This was the original body I made for BB Hard Drive, before deciding to go with something much more faithful to the original. I liked this look though, and stuck that angry little Wolverine head on. The code name is borrowed from some IDW cannon fodder.

Image

Winchester - A super quick one. Again the code name is borrowed from an IDW jobber. I'd like to give him something resembling an actual Winchester repeating rifle, but I will probably have to settle for a shotgun. I took these pics before I decided on the code name.

Image

Image

Image

Line Dance - Another quickie. Based on a JoeCanuck character. I have a few more Canucklehead quickies, but I need to finalize their gear.

Some nice work there, I think line dance is my favorite.

For some reason I'm really digging Winchester. Something about that head.

Sidetrack is great, though. Very nice head mods.

And Depth Charge is exactly what I would've expected...which is a very good thing.

Wingman's head does look a bit big bu you used a helmet that works for it.
Depth charge is my Fav here, he way that hasbro could introduce him into the line, just don't like his base hands

Depth Charge is production. So simple, so clean.

Winchester and Line Dance both have a ton of character. They look like guys who get the job done.

something about Hard Drive, despite being fairly simple, is one I dig the most. Line Dance, as pluv said, has a ton of personality too. I want to like Wingman, just like I've wanted to buy that Corps! head for months now, but the reason I haven't is the same reason for my hesitation here. It's just a huge noggin. Maybe on a bigger body it would look better. but that's my only real crit here. And actually I guess it's the chin more so than the head.

Just wanted to say thanks for the comments, everyone. I might try out some different heads for Wingman and save the Corps stuff for bulkier, taller figures.

Your first pic of Line Dance reminded me of Ted Nugent for some reason.
