Two more done and one to go and I will have my Cobra equivalent of GI Joe.

First up is Munitia. The DD design threw me off with the thigh armor and regular boots. Then I went prowling through the archives and found carnage's custom of her. Thats when I knew how I would handle the boots. I added Sculpey to make the thigh pads into thigh high boots and then added the soles from Swamp Rat's boots to the Scarlett feet to give them more of a boot look. The rest was pretty simple: Jinx arms, and Jinx torso that had been sanded for another custom that didn't work out, added Pirate Queen Liz Swann's head and Blackout goggles t complete her. I was going to make her two guns but lost one of them so I gotta find another match before I paint them up.

And then Body Bag. I already had made Skullbuster before DD made him into some sort of savage so I had a Range Viper on my team already. And I really didn't like the name Bayonet that they gave to the CG member. So my CG member got the cool name. I struggled with the design for a while until I was reintroduced to Alyosha's Crimson Guard Commando. The torso and head are heavily influenced by his design with the rest thrown in as my way of adding my own touch to it. I added the Gung Ho holster and Marauder shotgun as a nod to the original CGs. The gun fits perfectly with the front handle shaved off.

Now the only one I have left is Grimskull, the team medic, who I am drawing a complete blank on from uniform design to head choice.

Let me know what you think. Good or Bad, I can take it.

yep both look very nice. I like BB better though. He looks painted very well and he looks pretty tough.The figure Aly made was great and I have the version JFAK made awhile ago and it's cool too.
Keep up the nice figures

Your Munitia looks really good. That is the first time I've seen that character and not thought of her as a Baroness clone. All the parts flow together nicely. I like the gun mod too.

Body Bags is ok. I don't know if it is the paint you used or what but it looks clumpy in places and missing in others (like the screw holes and inner elbows). I like the addition of the shotgun. I'm going to have to try that one.

dang, pluv sumed up everything I was going to say.

Love that head for Munitia about 1000% better than the one that was to come out.

My personal favorite of the two is munitia (cant wait to see a 25th version of her) But both are awesome work!
