Ive been working on an "evil" radio operator but have a few problems..

does anyone know of an easy way to get the skull logo onto this guys helmet.

it seems far too fiddly to paint.

I am tempted to scrap this head and use the head from an SAS attack trooper but at the end of the day I am going to have the same problem ... that damn logo !!

You might be able to cut out a mask using Tamiya masking tape. This stuff doesn't lift any paint when taken off (well most times anyway!).

Those customs are great Andy, particularly the Radio Op!

andy1672, those are GREAT! I love this type of stuff!

You have a skill for these things! Really neat job.

What's going on with that radio operator's head?

Is it a Baron head with a hollowed out shadow head on top of it?

Very curious on what you've done there and how you did it? Boiling? Dremelling?

:doc: :doc: :doc:

I used the barons head with his hair painted black.

the helmet is a shadow head that I dremmelled out, which was originally going to be a removable helmet, however ..... it became too thin and the head still wouldnt fit inside so I opted for a cap style hat instead.

I am now tempted to use the SAS attack trooper head which has a balaclava type thing over the face. only problem is I dont have a spare one at the moment.

Easiest way will be to print off a sticker.

Due to 'unforeseen' circumstances I totally forgot to take Radio Operator with me yesterday.

However, to give sign of life, enclosed the first picture. Real adventures following soon...

His leg is looking much better there, Amsterdam obviously agrees with him.

I was going to suggest naming him Bender, as it is close to the original Breaker, but then I was wondered if he ought to be named Paul Gales instead...
