  This is my second Falcon, I screwed up the arms on the first one, This one has full range of motion and hold hold his shotgun with both hand and the upper torso now has a fuller range of motion. This version also got a radio pack. I'm not sure is the glossiness of his beret and scarf are due to the flash or not, but I am planning to fix it.    Hawk is rebuild of the comic pack Hawk with new legs and a new head to be closer in design the original figure and because I didn't care for the head. |

What head did you use for Hawk? |

Gorgeous. Both of them. Falcon is especially inspired. And Hawk would make dear old departed Grand Slam weep with joy. BTW, did you repaint the whole guy? Also, whose legs are they? |

Hawk's head is the Cobra Island Civil Wars comic pack Hawk that came with Flint and Tunnel Rat. I painted Hawk completely so the colors would match up and the legs are modified from Duke. |

now that's a good lt.falcon custom. great job on the body. tho, i have one thing to ask... if you display flint and lt.falcon side by side, they look like twins right? they have the same facial features. atleast modify flint's or lt.flacon's face sculpt to solve the problem. just a suggestion. |

Actually, the Flint/ Falcon thing isn't a problem for me, I really hated the head for Flint, bit it was perfect for the LT....Lemme dig out the Flint pic....

Really nice work on both of these. I'm not 100% sold on the color scheme for Hawk, but the paints are all flawless and the head's a big improvement. |

I doubt I'm qualified to render much in the way of a critique, but I will say this - of all the great customs I've seen on here (and I've browsed most everything available), yours - especially your 25A customs - are consistently the ones I love best, and the ones that I want to copy, if I were able. When I am able to get some pics taken of my first customs, you might notice that they are inspired by your work perhaps more than anyone else on here. I especially like the new or non-joe figures you make that fit in perfectly alongside the existing Joes, but the Flint and Falcon figures are perfect. |

Spin- The problem with the '82 Hawk was he had very few paint apps and it looks like his harness wasn't painted. I used a slightly darker green for the harness, not sure if it shows up that well in the pics. Rateeg- If you mean the head for Flint it is Scalpel from the Spytroops series. Drbindy- I'd love to see your figures when you gets ome pics up And everyone else, thanks for you comment. |

Falcon is simply perfection. I'd buy that qucik if they released it. Hawk I'm not sold on. I think you might have to hollow out the head a little more. The neck ball seems to be pushing the jaws out causing the head to look bigger than it is. With the smallish hands and slim body the big head sticks out to me. |

Okay now I'm gettin pissed. I really hate the 25ths, but your customs are making me want to buy them.  So, great work on these. Nice parts, nice paint= .sweet figures Now knock it off.

Not anytime soon, Joey. Already have Breaker on my desk about to get fixed. It's a good figure, just need a bit of work. |
