Night Creeper update

[ska_lives]

Recently I was sitting around rummaging through my fodder when an old WIP and a spare figure gave me an idea for an updated Night Creeper. Ive wanted to do this figure for a good while, all thanks to Boris Ping's beautiful custom earlier this year or late last year.
I tried a few new things with this figure, in that I scratch built the web gear to make it a bit more sensible...in my eyes anyway. I then proceeded to string the crossbow and make a custom sling for it. I am most pleased with how that sling turned out.

Recipe:
Head: Ret. Kamakura
Body: Ret. Snake-Eyes

Accessories:
Web Gear: POC Jungle Duke modded w/ Ren. Ripcourd Pouch, DG Cobra Commander holster, Ren. Zartan quiver and strips from DG Shipwreck mask for Sword straps.
Pistol: DG CObra COmmander
Crossbow: Ren. Scarlett w/ custom sling(hockey tape and staples), and custom stringing
Sword: ROC Zartan
Hood: Ret. Kamakura
Glasses: Ren. Ripcord

That's a damn good custom.

That's pretty good, a nice fresh take on the concept. Good stuff.

Not bad, aside from that hood.

Thanks all!

Not bad, aside from that hood.

The only fault I find with this hood is that it doesn't blend quite so well with the rest of the outfit. I tried a few others that I had, DG SS, and the 25th Creeper's, however I felt this one tied it together best.

I think, like most people, my issue with the hood is that its a rigid piece of plastic and doesn't have any movement, nor does conform to the shape of the head underneath like hoods usually do. It might as well be a helmet because of its size.

True enough. Im not a big fan of cloth pieces on my figures though, but admittedly an actual closth hood would be the tits!
