Ironblood, Red Jackal, Black Major and some shads!

Post by Fant0mas »

Hey all- as per the request from Double-Tap here are the pics of my customs- I reckon the original posts got lost in Oct 2012 when the site took a hit- so I've re-submitted them

Black Major, Baron Ironblood, Red Jackal- and some Red Shadows

With all of these figures I went for the classic look -but with better articulation and extra accessories than the original figures- they are all homages to the classic look of the Action Force figures.

Ironblood and Major are pretty much standard looks just with more accessories and both made from Star Wars figures, with Red Jackal I gave him 3 "looks" a "classic" Red Jackal Head, a more robotic looking head and an unmasked face - he is made with a Marvel Universe Black Panther figure and Iron Man hands- and I forget where the heads came from- prob a mixture of Gi Joe and Marvel Universe

The Shads are recast heads with Indy German bodies- again went for a bit of variety with Radio Operator, a Shadow officer, Light Machine Gunner, etc.

The Shadow Diver is simply a Cobra frogman with a Shad face!

Currently working on a Classic Red Laser to fit in with this series and then onto the Mamba Men....

I also did some 1/6 scale Enemy figures- I'll re-post them too if peeps are interested

Hope you like them

thanks again

Mate, Brilliant! Get these in the custom of the month competition!
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?

Thanks, mate.
Out-bloody-standing.
Used the same torso for ironblood but gi-joed the legs.
can't wait to see your mamba (oooh er missus).
Really need to get the finger out, have pretty much put together my enemy team bar Muton, but have yet to finish one.
Finished red wolf a few Weeks ago except for his jetpack which just needs a splash of paint.
I'll try and get him finished this week.
