new custom from a bag of crap!

[Ross SC]

part of yesterdays haul (viewtopic.php?f=28&t=6105) that i didnt post was a big bag of crap one of the store owners gave me! bag of loose parts that ended up being:
http://www.yojoe.com/action/94/gears.shtml x12
http://www.yojoe.com/action/91/cobracommander5.shtml x12 (worst cobra commander ever!)
http://www.yojoe.com/action/93/guile2.shtml x3
all in pieces, no o-rings & no accessories!

anyways, im not one to look a gift horse in the mouth so i set about seeing what i could do with them........
& came up with an awesome idea for gears! terrible looking figure, but nice body sculpt, lots of detail in the armout & with a head swap & dye job a new type of viper is well on it's way, just goes to show what you can do even with limited parts! needs a bit of a paint job, but almost complete! im thinking about making them the crew for the ATC im customising, or personal body guards for Baron Von Grimm, or both!

if anyone wants any of these figs let me know & i'll post them off, i wont need them all!

ok, so heres the crappy original figure.......

here he is now!!!!


head change, dyed, tiny bit of paint. heres a pic with flash:


simple custom, but i kinda like him, well them, i made 2. cant remember who's head it is.
will make a couple more but with pit viper heads & thats the crew for my ATC.

It's a TARGAT head Ross it looks cool.

[Squad Leader]

great job on the finnished figure ross 'cause that before picture looked like he'd had a stroke

ok, so heres the crappy original figure.......

[Ross SC]

cheers guys!
today i finished painting the crew for my hydrofoil........ & sprayed the damn thing!
just need to paint all the detail, put it together & print out the decals so should have something for this months comp!

[The Baron]

Sweet.

So does this new dude have a name?

[Ross SC]

dunno, he's part of my reaper army, there are 2 of them, driver + navigator so i guess they are nitro reapers!
nearing completion now, the damn reapers keep on growing! i might need a bit of help with dialogue for the dio, anyone interested in helping?

I like him alot mate but hurry up with that Roboskull! I can't wait to see it!

[Ross SC]

completed the cockpit (actually has a proper seat/controls now!) started painting the skull front...... but im still short of parts so shelved it indefinitely! shame, was really looking forward to it but im missing the top booster part from 1 wing. the red engine housings are also missing, but i can do without them.

[Ross SC]

if anyone has roboskull or hydrofoil parts please let me know!
to be honest, i really want another hydrofoil..... doesnt need to be complete coz i dont use all the parts.
