This is my first ever painted custom figure. Vehicles are a lot different to do in my opinion. I have always been leery of painting the figures but after buying some of the Vallejo paints at Hobby Lobby, I decided to take a shot. I used to have the mindset that if Hasbro did not officially make it, then it does not count. However, there are a lot of 25th figures that need to be updated.
I decided to do Scrap Iron first as I have always been fascinated with him ever since he was first released back in 1984. I never did have the original but always played with my friend's Scrap Iron in our battles in the dirt, snow & in swimming pools.
As for the vest, I still am deciding if I want to use the PoC Firefly (Predator) vest or the RoC Cobra Night Adder instead but did not have them handy when peicing together the parts.
Anyway here is the Modern Scrap Iron below.
Parts list:
Head - 25th Scrap Iron
Entire Body - PoC/30th Cobra Trooper
Vest - Renegades Cobra Trooper
Gun - BBi Elite Force
Missile System - 25th Scrap Iron
Paints - Vallejo Paints from Hobby Lobby
