I like that you kept Shipwreck's beard instead of giving him a mustache like the original.

That's an awesome Shipwreck.

Awesome update with Shipwreck.

Though I can only think of "Stinky Diver" when I see this version... from that Nickelodeon show with the action figures.

Shipwreck came out real nice.

Not a big fan of ME stuff, but Shipwreck is pretty fantastic!

Love it! Really looking forward to the further updates too.

Just a quick thought, the belt on Duke looks a little odd unpainted/the same color as the shirt. I know the original figure didn't have a belt on the sculpt, but I think it looks a little strange on the update to leave it the same tan as the shirt. Minor detail on an otherwise amazing rendition.

I know what you mean about the belt. I had it painted brown at first to match the shoulder straps but it didn't look right. I may have to go back and look at another color.

Fill in the belt area with sculpting putty and repaint like the rest of the BDU. It'll look like the belt was never there and match the vintage figure even better.

I like that idea. I'll give it a try.

shipwreck looks really nice, you picked the right parts for him

Thanks.

Lifeline and Stalker are up for day 3. These were included in the latest ''Small Playsets'' Group Project, but I'm including them in this project since they were the first Battle Corps customs I made and everything else just followed.

Enjoy.

Lifeline and Stalker were two of my favorite figures from that time period and those are two very nice updates to those figures. Good work.

They all look really good, and everyone else has said what I would say about Duke and Shipwreck. Couple things with Lifeline and Stalker that jump out, though - I'd lose the grenades on Lifeline. They just seem out of place on him. And Stalker, I know there aren't many head options out there, but this one just really looks like a white guy in blackface to me and kind of takes away from an otherwise terrific figure.

Oh that stalker. Fantastic.

Tanstoys · **Joined:** Sat Aug 11, 2007 11:02 am

well done on these 2. LL I really like him. Stalker is a nice custom too, I just didn't care much for the RAH figure of that one, I don't stalker in black, he's a green kinda guy...

Pugsley · **Posted:** Wed Jul 03, 2013 5:40 pm

All of 'em are good, but that Duke looks fantastic!

Shipwreck is magnificent in its simplicity, and I feel Stalker and Lifeline are a turtleneck and a grenade replacement, respectively, short of perfection.
