Andy's wave one custom ( part 2 )

Here's another one of my 1st wave customs, based on the action man British Infantryman.

Possibly needs some touching up here and there, still work in progress.....

Andy that is superb! You've got a real talent for these customs.

This bloke Alyosha what else does he do in terms of his custom bits and bobs? I fancy some red Space Force helmets for my Q Force boys!
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

There are quite a few different helmets, a bit on the small size for a lot of joe heads but would fit af figures perfectly... his shops is offline at the moment due to the joecon but will be back up soon...

That might be worth looking into ?

I made a mold from the SAS attack trooper to make this gas mask, but im not entirely sure about keeping it.

This figure is still "work in progress" so I may well scrap the mask altogether and have a rethink.

What did you use for the tube? I can't make it out, but looking at the original pic I'd suggest this flexible Lego piece:

Wouldn't that be Steeler's helmet?

the tube was molded from the dolphin headpiece, I took a mold from the end piece that is supposed to plug into the sealion. the orange colour you can see is the original colour of the resin.

the mold for the helmet was made using a ball bearing and a tapered washer ! I then cast it in resin and dremmeled the inside out until it fit on his head.

the figure stand is a piece of 3mm perspex with a hole drilled through and a small peg inserted for the foot hole. So its a homemade one !
