I don't believe there's a plan for that (right now, anyway; I will push for it later).

Legs wouldn't really be necessary, as Robo usually wears pants, so stock legs would work.

The arms, on the other hand, kind of need to be done.

I don't even have a use for the fucking thing, but I still want it.


Too bad his Wild Weasel torso is.......not good.

It just doesn't say "fighter pilot" to me. It says "lets base it on the ARAH one".

Which, ya know, is fine if that's what you're tying to do, which I believe it was.

Ah, well yeah. That one is definitely Krexx making a fairly faithful 'better-that-the-25th-version' interpretation of a classic Wild Weasel. It's not gonna be everyone's cup of tea for sure. I think I'm gonna do two WW's and pick one. A classic one with Krexx's sculpts, and something more modern utilizing most of the Retaliation Airborne/Data Viper torso/arms/legs with that canceled ROC Firefly Helmet(The one originally for Gunship FF).

I'm thinking arms and torso from Ret. Airborne and the vest from Lift Ticket (Eaglehawk edition). Scratch that, Shock Trooper uppers with Mouse's rolled-up sleeves could make for a great "Maverick" look.

The problem is the legs. The ones from Ret. Airborne are more-or-less accurate for a U2 pilot pressure suit, and while I can probably live with the lower legs I'm not a fan of the thighs.

Building a pilot (especially a helo pilot) can be a real bitch.

When it comes to the Joe stuff Krexx designs for AngelForge its ALWAYS going to be ARAH accurate since I pick which ones he does and its my money going into it. Hey I'm an ARAH Fag,and thats what I likes. The M.U.T.s will just have to wait.:)

well for our MUT brethren. if you guys want a modern looking pilot torso grab me some reference pics and I'll add it as one of my allotted slots in Jan or Feb

I'm down for both the classic and a modern Wild Weasel, so I'll be looking for a good flight suit picture.

DO WANT THAT BASCINET!

Posted a comment to Krexx on HT... yeah, I know:rainbow:... about that helmet. Hopefully he fixes it. If not, I can make my own.

His Bascinet has more of a Klappvisor styled top/point. Should be more swept towards the top/back of the head, to work with that visor.
