Just ur basic BL4CK5H33P departure from the Ren/30th that Hasbro gave us... since my Renegades TunnelRat & SnakeEyes WiP customs were so well received by ALL of U here @ JoeCustoms (it is an odd feelin' 2 B both humbled & uplifted simultaneously - THNX 4 the tremendously generous feedback by truly talented customizers) I felt it was time 2 post the 1 that got me jacked N2 doin' "gritty/real-world" versions of Renegade Joes - the overall feel I was tryin' 2 convey w/ these, was highly trained military operatives that had been forced 2 go rogue, & without normal support, they would have 2 use what was @ their disposal - so U end up w/ a triple hybrid of military contractor / militia / vigilante type vibe - so this concept might have been lost in translation if I had expressed it in the TR & SE WiP posts... So hopefully seein' my finished Duke U guys can follow my twisted :twisted: logic & any input that might expand this concept would B & always is welcomed :-|

P.S. Apologies for the lengthy description --- I suffer from insomnia & tend 2 ramble sometimes... :hypnoshield:

Also, since takin' these pics, I have gone back & reworked the upper rear vest pack to make it lay flatter & tighter to the vest where it meets the shoulders...

Not feeling the headband. Just like I didn't feel it on the PoC jungle version. That's just my hangup though. I love everything else about this custom.

Looking good man. I say use a plain Duke head, from the standard POC figure as a swappable option. It's the beauty of this format - when they give us two identical looking heads, but with different gear on them, I always feel like I'm missing something if I don't make both available to the figure.

I've had mixed reviews about this head on a few other sites too - was originally slated for a MGS SolidSnake (had trimmed beard sculpt planned) & when compared to my TunnelRat & SnakeEyes it looks quite small - so I think I will do a V2 head swap :) I appreciate the honest critiques & the positive feedback
