This is another re-do of a previous custom. One of the things that bugged me about my first Gung Ho custom was the arms. I just didn't like how far out the ball-joints stuck out from the chest piece. I also wanted a more "ragged" looking Gung Ho. The other one was a little too clean and orderly with the chest I used. Lastly I liked the idea of being able to remove his Tac Vest and give him a more Cajun-alligator wrestling attitude.
I actually like this head sculpt a lot more then the VvsV venom version. That one has just a very weird looking nose and eye layout and Gung Ho always seemed more massive.
For some reason when I see Stone Cold Steve Austin I also think of Gung Ho. The paintjob on his face was done after listening to an interview with the guy on Howard Stern a couple of years back.
This was a nice custom to do. It required no sculpting or sanding. The only thing changed were the position of his boots to give him a more natural stance. Otherwise it is all repaint and detail. This is also one of my few customs that have the majority of it's parts coming from other versions of the character.
Lastly I like to keep a running theme with the characters who are in the same divisions. So Gung Ho has the same lower legs and boots as Leatherneck (another Marine). It's something that gives them a little bit more unity for me, which I enjoy.
