My first Joe custom in quite some time. I have always considered doing a custom of Hawk, one of my favourite characters in the Joe-verse.

After deciding on the basic parts, I went through my box of spare heads looking for something suitable. Found a Good To Go head. I have always seen Hawk as a little older than the rest of the Joes, and I wanted a look that reflected the early artwork in the comics, but with a version of the second outfit he had as a figure. I am very happy with the way the head turned out, and I was delighted when i found the helmet and the fact that it fits on the head without scraping the paint off. The look I was going for is a grittier, hard-ass version of Hawk.

The Wild Bill torso was severely sanded down and the flight jacket was added with epoxy clay.

Head: Good To Go
Torso/Arms: VvsV Wild Bill (heavily sanded and sculpted)
Legs: Mission Disc Roadblock
Holster/Pistol: Chap Mei Police Officer
Helmet: ARAH V2 Hawk

Kambei,
That works great, mate! The mods look flawless. The figure really captures everything there is to love about the character.

Very nice take on him! He looks battle ready. Very good work on the torso. Looks production quality even.
