I've always thought Big Ben's character was neat but I never carred for his character design. So I decided to take some artistic liberties much like my Chuckles and update him how I saw fit based some what off real SAS. To finish him off i'd like to get him some sort of removable headset but for now I think he's fine.
Sadly the pictures looked much better on the camera than they do after the upload. So if they're too horrific i'll try my best to take some better ones! It's just late and i'm kind of sick so off to bed for me after this.

Recipe

Chest, arms and waist: Firefly
Legs: Stalker
Webgear: VvV Gung-Ho
Satchel and belt: 25th Snake eyes
Revolver, machine gun, radio pack, smoke grenades and berret: Maraduer

Great work but I do miss the hat. But I guess he cant wear that hat all the time now can he?

Ditto, nice figure.
He dosen't scream Big Ben to me, but I can definitely get behind this idea cause he looks bad ass.
I also miss the hat how about a grey removable version?

I'm glad you guys think he's cool, I wanted to go for more of a commando look. Based on what I read during WWII, SAS were dropped behind enemy lines and would blow up runways and supply depos until the enemy raised their security and they changed to hit and run tactics. That's what I wanted my Big Ben to do, drop in with guys like Ripcord and blow stuff up or sneak around with the best of them like Snake Eyes and Hit and Run. His original design never screamed anything that cool, just a guy with a man purse and a big gun that eventually drove around in a rediculous vehicle.
I personally never cared for Big Ben's hat, but after reading the reissue of the first gi joe comic the head looks more like Breaker in one of the panels during the briefing. So I may have to make the hat a choice, he has a black helmet too but i'm waiting to have him wear that more until I get a gasmask. I actually really like the idea of a grey hat, I may have to get my dremel out later today and start working on it. Thanks for making me want to include the hat guys.
