Its a Joe arctic Hiss with some custom Hyena transfers on - its in progress at the moment for my Arctic Shads. Think I may have nicked the idea off SteveD so will hang back posting any pics till he has taken the well deserved spotlight...
In fairness my Arctic Shads wont be ready until there is real snow on the ground! I've only finished the Red Laser so far, and as I have another 20 + to paint up, then the actual one off characters and the HISS's it's going to be some time!!!
So if you get anything finished mate post any pics you want!! Thanks for the consideration though TKW!

I was just suggesting that Steve piff everything from his fridge (except the beer) and put his winter guys in there for a photo op
But yes, twas random and I think sometimes my mind works in mysterious ways, even to me.

Fridges can be good for pics and dios as long as your food doesn't go off. I know I took my pics for my dio as quick as I could. As seen here

Still not sure about this one, been having a bit of a sh*tty time lately and customs have been going wrong left right and centre. Recipe is a repro head, bjs exclusive Undertow body and breathing tube from SAS frogman backpack.
As always, any comments welcome...
I think he needs a bit more black on him, maybe around the chest/torso area. looks really good tho, undertows body makes a great base, big big fan of this body.

I agree Ross, I was never sure about this figure and Ive gone back to the drawing board and am starting again.
The problem with this version of the Undertow figure and any figure from the BJs exclusive pack is the original paint apps are really shoddy and the quality is very poor so it looks very messy and bumpy when im painting black over the original light grey areas. I just wish there was another suitable red base figure from the arah range or I could strip down the original paint....
