making the most of bits from the spares box .... again !!

[Andy1672]

Ive recently been sorting through my spares and thought I would try and make something useful out of what I had lying about.

So far this is as good as it gets .... I know these are not brilliant but I think they turned out ok considering they were made up left overs !

I think Scoobydie has used this vehicle before, I had to cobble some parts together to get a Q force rider for it.



I wasnt keen on painting Stalkers face but thought I would give it a go anyway for my UN trooper.



Ive been trying to get an original John Matrix for years !!! this will have to do for now.



I was struggling to find a use for Copperheads head, but I kind of thought it looked a little like Stringfellow Hawke from Airwolf ? perhaps more so If I added a black visor ?



and a late edition



and yet another late edition ... Street Hawk !



Rogue Trooper

I still have the Skimmer thing on the shelf for future use, did you shave the cobra logo down or pop
a logo straight over the top? The colour combination is perfect on it though.
I like the guy on the back, looks a mix of Flash and the diver.

Good one with Stringfellow, the mask is a good likeness too

Being obsessed with bad 80's tv show action figs the stringfellow hawk one is actually my favourite! Good likeness, and one I'll no doubt have to copy!!

Agree with Steve, string is my fav but I love the UN trooper too.

All good stuff, it's a pity that you had to repaint 's face, as a African U.N. soldier would of been a natural...but I guess the arms would of been harder to recolour as successfully, what with the danger of paint chipping every time you put a weapon in his hands.

String-fellew works well also, but Airwolf's always the centre of attention...& I'm in need of a pilot for my Blue Thunder, could you paint him blue?

Fairplay mate like these especially Stringfellow. Now try to see if you can make Santini?

[Double-Tap]

these i really like.

not a big fan of q force but this is class, excellent paint job.

the arnie fig is bang on, which head did you use?

hawke is pretty near spot on but think you should go a couple of shades darker on the torso.

th un trooper is cool but is it me or is that not the double of Ironblood????

Cheers Scooby, I just put a sticker straight on top of the Cobra Logo, I probably should have sanded it flat because the sticker looks a bit lumpy.

The rider has Copperheads legs and Undertow torso and arms.

Cheers ! I thought Stalkers head was too recognisable so I decided to change the skin colour so it was kind of a "new" head ? It may have looked better before hand tho.

I think I may need a tubbier torso for Santini ?
