Parts: Head: Star Force Arms: General Hawk v2 Torso/Waist/Legs: Slipstream I've always wanted to make an entry-level Cobra Pilot to fly Rattlers and be commanded by Wild Weasel. Also, I wanted to try the Star Force head.

I love the colors, they mix great. And the helmet fits perfectly to the body. But if I may, I think the arms are a bit too bulky to the rather slim Slipstream body. |

Any one that knows me knows that I am a fool for anything air force related, and this guy would definately be an army builder for me. Awesome work! |

re: bulky arms: it's true, these arms are pretty beefcake, but it was a conscious choice. I love the Slipstream arms, except the shoulder pads make no sense to me. I shopped several similar arms (Bullhorn, etc.) and these ones just spoke to me. They could be overdoing it though  re: shadows/drybrush: I can't take credit for an overall dry-brush job here: it's just the lighting and the fact that the Slipstream torso has so much wrinkle depth. Thanks for the kind words, all! |

Great custom! Appropriately fills the void of "regular" Cobra pilot. I knew you were apprehensive about using the Lanard Star Force head, but it works very well here. The pictures don't quite show it, but that head has a very bulbous mouth piece. Did you modify this aspect of the head or is it just "hidden" by the photography/lighting. Overall good work. |

I saw this on the main page and was blown away. The paint is fantastic. I've thought that head was too goofy for a good use but you have proven me wrong. Fantastic work. |

That head does have a bulbous nose and I didn't do anything to hide it. I think it stands out a bit more on the standard Star Force figs because they are so sparse. This fig has a bit more to look at so I don't think your eye is drawn quite as much. *shrug* Suffice it to say: that is my least favorite part of the head/fig I will be keeping my eye out for improvements and a new head is high on the list.
