I really like how you've got him geared up. I always appreciate seeing specialists given secondary weapons. Just makes so much more sense to me.

And that Barrel Roll torso is one of the most useful new sculpt parts in existence, IMO

Very nice work. Using that Barrel Roll chest on many figures harkens back to the original 13 sharing the same few parts between them. Don't know if that's intentional, but it's pretty cool.

Looks awesome.

My suggestion would be not to have the mortar positioned like that on his back. That things weighs at least 25+ pounds and will throw off his balance. Usually a mortar team (more than one person) carries the mortar pieces broken down and distributed between them so that it's easier to move on the fly if need be.

Of course, that's not how the JOEs do things (ahem, Roadblock)...

Any way possible to customize the mortar by cobbing 2 mortars together? Cut the base off one, etc...

I was with you right up until you added the helmet. First it makes head look goofy. Second it doens't flow with the rest of your realistic custom. It just looks too far out there compared to the rest of the customn. A mic on the helmet makes sense since he'd had be talkign to troops closer to the enemy but the other attachments like the light and whatever that other thing is just don't look right on him.

thanks guys im glad you dig him. Levantine yup thats sort of what im going for . pluse it makes it easy to give them removable gear lol. DJ i know your right about the mortar . hey the joes are super human strong thats what makes them joes and be able to carry there gear by the selfs lol. so i kind of keep that to keep them joes.
pluv i know what you mean im going to try to find a dif one but for now thats what fits his head cuse of his hair and goggles but ill see what i can find to replace it or take the light and camera off .
thanks X

Nice job, X. I really like how the extended torso gives a more balanced feel to the proportions of the figure. Any chance you might post a pic of him standing next to a 25th anny scale fig for comparison. Looks like he'd fit in just about right. I'm with Pluv on the possibility of scouting out a different helmet. Regardless, its always nice to see you customs.
