Ripcord

Thought I'd try my hand at the Joe's HALO jumper.

Gear wise, I wanted him to be able to make the jump and still function behind enemy lines.

Nicely done. Excellent job on the camo!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Nice!...I really like the camo job...

You a Bigfoot fan?

 

[MMorelock66]

Thanks guys!

And Eddie, it's a looooong running joke from my football buddies. Due to my name and size, I'm referred to as Mattsquatch. Lol.

I actually have a plan for all the leg straps on my customs. Glue some medical tape on the legs and just use those

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

But they already have straps... why cover them with another material?

Hmmm... well, either way.

I guess it's personal preference. But no biggie

Looking Good!

Hold up... You painted this in less than 2 hours?! What paint do you use and do you not experience the paint chipping or peeling?

Yessir! I mainly use Testors camouflage paint. It comes in a black container with 6 different pots of color. And surprisingly no, a lot of stuff doesn't chip. And it's handled pretty heavily due to my photography.

Do you have a link to the paint set you're referring to?

Thanks, for the link! I reckon I already have all of those in the larger pots. Was curious to see if they had different colors.

Nah they are pretty basic, but I like them. I've been meaning to order some testors pots, because after using these, the Gamemaster stuff sucks.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Funny... that's where I order a lot of my Tamiya paints from.

Great minds something something.

I've never ordered from them, just used the site for the link. I need to look into ordering though, seems to have a great price!
