| Post subject: | 25th Anniversary Claymore vs. Croc Master |
Croc Master came together one night when I was looking at my extra Roadblock and contemplating who else he could be. The entire figure is Roadblock with greenstuff accessories, the knife is GTG, the M-60 Marauder.   Claymore went through a previous version before I settled on this one. Parts breakdown is: Head: Biggs Torso/Waist: Snake-eyes Arms/Legs: Flint The helmet is an original sculpt, i plan to do it over, it seems way to big.

Croc Master is good, but the Claymore is awesome. I know you think the helmet is too big, and I agree, but I really don't think it's that big of a deal. I've seen pics of various soldiers with leaves/foliage in there helmet and it was big. I think it would be okay as is, other than maybe putting a light wash on it to make the individual leaves stand out. |

Friggin' Awesome!!!! So this is what happens when someone actually takes their time and puts effort into a 25A custom? Who'd a thunk it?  There's no way in hell I would have known these were customs if I saw them somewhere else on the 'net. Incredible job, IW! |

These are both great. How does the paint on Croc Master's shoulder joints hold up? |

Croc Master is good. You did a great job on the sculpting. I'm just not thrilled wiht the head. It looks a little too alien looking. Claymore is fantastic. You nailed everything perfectly. If you are positive you're going to change the helmet, I suggest changing the leaves from green stuff to fabric. I think it will make him it look a little bit more realistic and give him that extra pop. While I've seen people do guile suits and hats I don't think I've ever seen someone to that with a helmet before. |

Croc's shoulder paint hold up very well, i used thin coats of Model Master's Acryl. For Croc's head, I liked his original design, but i wanted something more intimidating that didn't look like Bane. I think I have some of those Spy Troops guille suits, I might try that on a helmet, thanks for the idea, Pluv. |

The sculpting is phenomenal and the painting is beautiful but what stands out to me is what a perfect head that is for Claymore. Wonderful work on these and I would love to see more 25th from you. |

Wow, that Croc Master is phenomenal! Excellent work. That Biggs head is very versatile for 25A customs. First Footloose, now Claymore. The helmet looks kind of funny to me, though. |
