Custom SAS 25th style Pilot

[tycondrius]

ok heres my first 90% finished custom . question for those who are well used to customs how do you get the SAS symbol for the side of the arms ?

[SteveD]

Oo - I like him! Looks like a proper 25th style SAS - as if factory made!

SAS logo wise, I'd say to either get some of TKW's transfers (not sure though - the arms look "wrinkled" are they?), or try a very steady hand and a very small paint brush!

[Red Laser]

That is a great custom. Pm the kraken wakes and ask if he will trade or sell a sheet of SAS transfers tycondrius they are good quality and cheap enough. Damn it this work pc is so slow I got beat to it.

[jamarmiller]

that does look really really good, factory made infact great job

[tycondrius]

cool stuff will do on the transfers . thanks for the response guys

[SteveD]

Is he painted or dyed Tyc? Or did he come black already? It looks like Snowjobs body to me is it? I've always been put off painting 25th figs as they are so articulated I fear paint rub will keep me awake at night!

Now that is bloody brilliant! It's a Wild Weasel body isn't it? Top drawer stuff anyway! If you could get your hamds on enough body parts you should flog these. I'd buy one!

[tycondrius]

yup shauny's right its the 25th Wild weasel body originaly it was all red .with black straps so i repainted it black . the maps on the legs i didn't touch as they looked solid enough.
I know the thought Steve .if I move the legs you can see the red in the joints but i'm gona paint that and spray varnish them

the onlty parts used were
Comic pack 25th WW body
dremelled AF pilot head
and a slap of paint . lol

[Double-Tap]

I absolutely hate modern figures! They are an absolute croc of sh*t in my oppinion.

The whole point of being on this forum and collecting Action Force toys is for the nostalgia value of the early '80's in my opinion.

All this modern stuff is just fit for the bin in my [rather extreme, possibly] view....

Having said that.....


I think this SAS pilot is very nice!

I think you have done a nice, subtle job and brought out the 'vintage' in it, if that makes any sense?

So... great work! And I mean that as a sincere compliment!
