Leatherneck, Cobra de Aco & Countdown (WIPS)

Hey all,
Just a couple of new ones I've been working on. Still need to put the Cobra Emblem on CDA. I wanted to make his goggles stand out a bit, so I painted them gold to tie in with the yellow padding. For Countdown, I was having a hard time trying to figure out what to do with my extra Ace body. Need some suggestions on his backpack. As always, feedback appreciated.

They look sharp, crisp and clean, i bet you can't wait to dirty them up, LOL, nice paint apps and great choices for customs.

both look really great. Leatherneck especially since he has such detailed camo. De aco not a fan of but you did a good job on him,
Tim :-)

Added another wip for input to the first post. Thanks for the feedback so far.

Just finished Action Man, so I figured I'd add him to this thread instead of opening another.

Great camo painting on Leatherneck. Cobra de Aco looks sharp, too.

Is that the McDonald's Action Man head?

yep thats a mcdonalds action man head...I have it also.
Countdown looks cool so far but I'd change his head to something different so he doesn't look like ace and if you have snow job shoes, you could use those since they are bigger than aces to look more like a astronaught,

what, no orange for Action Man? :shifty:

good stuff all around but gotta hand you extra props for making a 25A Countdown. I've thought of lots of obscure or less-than-a-cult-following Joes to do in the new style but Countdown was totally off the radar.

RAD!

That Action Man is really neat. Gonna have to add that to my punch list.

Thanks guys for the input. To answer a few questions...yes, that is the McD AM head. I was worried it might be too big, but I guess it worked out alright. As far as the head and feet on Countdown, the head is from a clone trooper and the feet are actually Snow Job's (the pic may not make them out very well though). Any suggestions on a backpack for CD?

I think Leatherneck's stache needs a little more extension. He looks too Hitleresque. :shifty:
