a few WIPs and a revamped custom

[MMorelock66]

I've been wanting a Flint that actually stuck out as Flint. So I've thrown this together, same thing with Dusty. Just waiting on Flint's webgear and head sculpt. Dusty is going to use the Retaliation Clutch head. The other guy is a unnamed Spec Ops figure. Based off the customs by Rick.

Duke was just given repainted legs and some odds and ends glued onto the vest, to make it actually look like a vest.

Ignore Luigi.

Flint's been wankin' pretty hard... and he switches hands too.

Those RB forearms are huge on that body. They look better fitted for the last guy, but that's just me.

Good WIPs though.

Haha! They are actually the Retaliation Joe Colton arms. In person they really don't seem as huge.

I hear ya...

I'd maybe go with PoC Jungle Duke arms for that set-up. Proportionally better looking, I'd bet. Do what you want of course, just offering another "eye" on it. For instance, those legs are very thin by comparison with those 'roided forearms. With another set of legs, like the Shocktrooper's, they'd look a little more fitting. Put them on the 3-pack Airborne and they'd be near perfect. And why is that fig so damn big anyway?

I don't know... people think I'm too freakin' OCD with scales and proportions, but if you really look at this stuff, it makes complete sense. If you want cartoon-like proportions, then slap whatever with whatever (like what most 'Stanker do). If you want more realistic human forms, you have to pay attention to sizes of parts. In the end, it makes a HUGE difference in your work.

I'll get down from my soap-box now... roposetoast:

I understand ya completely! Maybe when I get him all geared up they will look better, and more proportionate.

I noticed that when I took the photo, Skydive is huge. Why?!?
