This one combines two things I hate... red paint and white paint add in the bleed or mudding effects of each whites caking red's brush corruption so much hatred here to make Baron Ironblood, for the most part I worked to make it as close to the original as possible while departing where I could to make the torture easier on myself. I was always a fan of the Ned Kelley helmet however since playing Dead Space I've been itching to incorperate that armor look into a figure so I decided to do it here, at least with the helmet. all of the white is painted on. between the different shades of white in the plastics as well as the stormshadow's inherant yellowing issue it was needed for such a uniform look. The white is Testors Duck Egg Blue. Citadel Blood Red they are the smoothest I have used, I'm almost looking forward to Lifeline now...almost

In my verse Baron Ironblood and Cobra Commander where different characters instead of one becoming the other it was a sort of Dread Pirate thing and having Red Jackal impersonate Destro to lure the real article into service.

body construction is as follows

head - BAF Fantastic Four series Ronin sculpted on ears and then cowl, hair facial hair
Torso - Stormshadow v1
lower arms hands lower legs and boots - arctic duke
uzi - snakeeyes v1
helmet - sigma strike helmet and shoulder armor from Iron Grenadier

I thought that at first, then someone bought one for me, then I bought 99% of the line.

This figure looks great. I love your S6 work!

then why waste your attention on something labeled as such...
I have always been mystified by this exact brand of online behavior.

It's like the phrase "With all due respect..." it's usually followed by something very disrespectful

I hate Bobby Flay, Tim and Eric, Tom Cruise, Superman, Country Music, sushi, the phrase "bro", GI Joe's Sgt. Hacker and Family Guy... my common sense and respect for others keeps me out of conversations about them.

Maybe it's just me...

I see you've met Sundance then. Welcome to BFTB!

Very nice handiwork, sir. This is a new direction for the Red Shadows that has not been approached until now, so kudos for the innovation.

Thank you for sharing. Do you have any solo shots of Red Laser, please?
