Some of the helmets seem to be a little too high above their shoulders. It seems to give them a giraffe head.

Other than that, I'm seeing an amazing start.


Thanks! In terms of all the masks that were done, there are three or four that are a bit too high, gloria's, dusty's, and brad's, and maybe sly rax's. With most of the masks though it depends on how the torso is done, if removable vests and such are used it pushes the mask up. So, I tried to be careful with that, when a vest etc had to be there, I tried to make it as thin as possible and used green stuff instead of removable accessories a lot of the times. With the exception of the three I mentioned, I think the masks look pretty good. I think maybe a couple of the ones I pictured may be affected by camera angle possibly. Now as for the three I mentioned, I actually cut gloria's top portion off, sanded it shorter, cut the bottom in half and used the front piece to make it bigger and to fit further down on the figure. I've considered tying to cut down the brad and dusty one also. I know when others have used these masks there were comments on how they looked stretched up (and a few of the masks do), but the majority of the masks look good, especially when not pushed up with removable accessories between the mask and shoulders. Also most of them seem to be sculpted to fit the breaker type upper torso, other torsos just don't fit some of them as well, and also a couple benefited from heating up and bending out the front or back slightly.

Thanks for the comments fellas!

Thanks, my hope is (when they are ready to post), to put some reference pics and such with them so people that aren't as familiar with MASK will know what they are. I tried to add accessories that went with the occupation too, the pizza guy has a green stuff pizza with pepperoni and pizza boxes (he has a flat hand that can carry the pizza), the toy designer has a remote control (and I want to add some type of small device/car/robot), the rock star the guitar and amp maybe, etc. The Lord made it possible to do the MASK wrist watch/alerts also for the civilian versions. I actually cut down the muscled flint arms for a couple of the civilian arms.

Thanks fellas, I wish I could say they would be 100% in a couple days, but it took me months to get them this far. Still, I've got more time in the next few weeks so I'm hopeful.

You did not just make the main characters but some of the seconadary. These look awesome, can't wait to see them finished. Any plans on making the vehicles?

Thanks man, my intention is to do about 45 characters/versions. Pretty much all the first series, second series, third series, and some of the fourth. Who knows if all that will happen, but the Lord has allowed me to get this far. As for vehicles, I would love to do a full run of them in 1:18 but so far I haven't seen a lot to work with. I know there's some diecast vehicles but I'm thinking that would be too difficult to work with.

There is enough to work with out there to get started but it is alot of modifying to do.

The Glamour Girls car is not a perfect match but fits Joes great and should be close enough for Thunderwing. I picked mine (havent even started on it yet) for about $15 BIN so they can be acquired pretty cheap

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1981-Glamor-Gal ... 3a8062ee23

I do not know the names of alot of the vehicles but there are lots of good vehicles to use.

I plan on using an Iron Man vehicle to make the Black Venom tanker truck.

The A-Team Corvette should work for the 80's Corvette vehicle.

The motorcycle vehicles should be easy enough to make look right with existing parts. I plan on cutting and hacking on a few different corps cycles to put together a couple of motorcycles.

I think that a couple of years ago that Iron man had an Indy Race car that should work for the Indy car vehicle.

I know that there are other vehicles that will work but do not know the names or toy lines from them but have seen them, a big rig, 57 chevy.

But you look like you have your hands full for a while just on the figures LOL
