Tracker and NF Lifeline made me splizzoosh.

Gonna copy the hell out of those.

HEAVY DUTY
I started this Heavy Duty custom intent on doing a different vest. I used a Retaliation Roadblock vest with two pouches and a radio attached. I then thickened up the eyebrows a bit. Mine came with skinny eyebrows.

I was digging for fodder for my ARAH Duke when I found the remnants of an ARAH Heavy Duty gear. It was missing the backpack and missiles. I started to mess with it to see if I could get it to work. I attached some cut down missile launchers from a PoC Duke, and made the handles out of Retaliation Roadblock accessories. The particular backpack has the bar in the back (inside portion) which is used to "grab" onto the frame of the Arah piece and hold it all together.

Pics on the first page as usual. Thanks for looking.

heavy duty is extreme! as in WOW!!

BACKBLAST
Another figure made in my quest to fill the gaps from 88-94. He was on the backburner for over a year, while parts slowly fell together over time. The Leatherneck figure was crucial, preventing me from having to paint skin tones on the moving elbows. He had no head besides a 50th Bazooka one (way too scrawny), until I decided to sculpt on the Joe Colton head, and dirty it up a bit. The mustache isn't 100% accurate to the original, but when I sculpted the original type, it just looked very out of place for an update. I went the large Gung Ho type instead. There he sat again, as I could not figure out a harness. I did not want to sculpt one. As luck would have it, I happened upon a DC Hawkman figure that was around 4" tall, and used the harness from that, with pouches from Elite Forces and Joe attached to the top.

2/20/17 CUSTOM CELEBRATION!!


Something new, see first page/post.viewtopic.php?f=14&t=44174

Experimenting with MTF parts, I was able to do a fairly accurate MTF version of my Resurgence character Eagle Eye.

The only non MTF parts were he backpack, shield and cannon. The goggles were tricky to add to the helmet, but they are MTF as well.

I added the blank MTF tabs to the backpack and was able to slide the pulse rifle onto them. The shield fits snug on the cannon when in a downward position, allowing Eagle Eye to carry all his gear at once.

A little black washing and he was where I wanted him.

Thanks to Marauder Ruben for the MTF inspiration over the last couple
months.

Wow, Eagle Eye translates crazy well into MTF parts. Did you have to canibalize any parts from the previous versions or do you still have the other 3?

My last WIP for this celebration, as work will have me the next 5 days, leaving me no workbench time. I still have my challenge figure to wrap up, but then I might be silent for a bit
