Modern Deep Six by HUNMARINE

[HUNMARINE]

Isnpired by the greatest Deep Six custom ever made by Nath_1977...i decided to use an Iron man line figure for mine too.

I choosed the Iron Man 2 Ground Assault Drone figure.
I liked the tan colors..the flag....but was afraid of movement. So I decided that instead of a simple headswap I will make this figure poseable and functional.

Here it is:

I cutted and drilled his wirst. So now they can rotate and grab other weapons:

Also I decided that his little backpack will hold his primary weapons (the mg, the GL barrel and the his big gun)

And finally modified his legs. (cutted out a big piece from each side of his torso) so now he can finally sit and kneel normally:

Nice mods. Though I think a more Deep Six looking paint scheme would go a long way...

I got to agree with Eddie. A solid build and good looking figure. Just nothing on him says Deep Six to me. I think a few of his original colors would sell who he is.

I agree on the paint scheme but the base figure is really cool and nice mods to increase movement.

I'd also suggest a helmet that doesn't look like he'd be looking through a screen door. That helmet kinda screams robot to me instead of a helmet over a head.

He looks Badass!

I agree with the others(not MW & Provost), I don't get a Deep Six vibe, mainly because of the color. Also the fabric on the visor is really distracting, I'd go with a different type of material for that all together. I thought it was a work in progress and kept scrolling down and expecting painted pics, then I realized it was the finished product.

Thanks guys!..

Well..sorry if it dissapointed most of you. I thought if I leave him with different colors it will give him some modern update and look. Honestly I never liked any deep under water and snow-arctic environment figures. Cause 85% of my army based on city sand and greenfield battles.

Maybe next time)...thx anyway! =)

I absolutely suck at painting camo...it's why most of my un-photographed customs are solid colors.

Absolutely agree. The work was solid and well done, I just didn't feel a Deep Six vibe. (Just like a lot of Hasbro's Rise Of Cobra figures, I didn't get a good vibe for the characters.)

Sorry - my bad. Thanks for the heads up. =)

And thanks everyone again fro your time and criticism. I hope my next custom will be better.)
