Few new joes WIP

[Meddatron]

I am almost finished with these guys. Need to do some tweaking, possibly (most likely) repaint Sgt slaughters pants.

First up, a modernish version of Leatherneck. I wanted to keep some of his look to be like vintage but update him slightly. Not alot of work done to do it. Just a Sgt Stalker body (only painted 1 pouch on leg), Mutt head, Gung Ho hat, and desert Duke jacket with added pouches.

Next is sarge. BnB head donated by GI Eddie (thankyou again) Like i said, probably will repaint his camo pants.

And Rampart. just a Desert Duke repainted with vintage head a a slight sculpt to cover t-shirt neckline. I have not painted joints yet.

They all look very cool Med. Even though Leatherneck and Sgt are too of my favorite characters, Rampart is my favorite of the bunch lol. Everything just seems to blend so well on him. Sgt looks like a badass and has the body that the SDCC should have had. As for LN, he looks really good. His fatigues seem a tad too light to me.

Also, did you paint the packs too? They look awesome!

 

[Meddatron]

Thanks MW. I did not paint the packs. Thats the way they came with the BBI(?) Seals. I too think LN body needs painted. I just love the coloring of stalker's fatigues so I decided to take the lazy way out. lol. i will probably revisit it or build him an altogether different body and use that Stalker body to update Rock n Roll. Hmm.. decesions.....

 

[Monkeywrench]

oh ok. I'm not familiar with the packs. I understand completely on taking the lazy way out lol. I would have done the same.

I like what you did with Leatherneck, but do you realize that your Rampart could've been made using Nightfox and little to no paint?

 

[Meddatron]

Very true MR. I only have one Nightfox and I have 6 Dukes, so I chose him only because I had him on hand and I always keep 1 version of a figure factory.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Ah, gotcha. Rampart would be super easy to make. All they need to do is cast his head and use existing parts, pretty much like you did (i.e. Nightfox).

Is that the vintage head, the first SDS head, or the second SDS Rampart head?

 

[Meddatron]

The vintage head. it is actually the right size too.

Nice work. Your cantina looks great from a figure's eye level too.

 

[BL4CK5H33P]

Figs look great Medd & the cantina looks like it is comin' along awesomely...

 

[Meddatron]

Thanks guys. i guess i should get some pics of the cantina now that I altered and added alot to bring it into a modernish world. I even made a sink. lol.

 

[raginspoon]

Rampart is simple but I like him a lot.
