how did you get rid of the pouch on his left leg?

Sliced off the screw post to keep the leg from falling apart, glued it to the outside leg piece. Used green stuff to fill in the hole and shaved down the strap.

There's no doubting the work or talent here; but something's just not *quite* clicking all the way into place here. It's gotta be the too-long torso of the base fig or the moobs effect of the ribcage joint, so I'm not sure you can do anything to rectify it. Too bad I just picked up the MC Copperhead at the Con or else I'd think hard about swiping this general idea.

Very well done. What'd you use for his head?

The head is the Airborne/Ripcord spy troops helmet glued to Roadblock's head.

Fantastic work, man!

My only criticism would be the absence of a sigil on his chest. Otherwise, note perfect.

Like how you modded RBs right hand - I wanted to do that, but figured I'd screw it up - how'd you do it, was it a simple boil-n-bend, or did you have to perform surgery?

Looks really cool overall - the eyes look a little too gentle for a hard-ass swamp dude, but everything looks so damn clean & factory-fresh (what we expect from you

), that I can't really find anything wrong with him at all.

Very cool.

I hate the idea of spending this kind of money for fodder, but I have to say that its truly awesome. I love Copperhead stuff and this is world class.

His hands were surgery, I think they're from a BBI Paratrooper.

As to the Cobra insignia, I just never liked how most of the specialist ran around with it on their chest, which is why I left it off on Copperhead and Croc Master.

Who's next? It's classified.

Poisonblade- the cost of getting Scarletts, DUkes, and commando SEs for customs was a pian because I couldn't think what to do with Gung hos and Roadblock. Managed to get rid of my Roadblocks with Copperhead & Croc Master, but I still have those pesky Gung Hos.
