I need to touch up the paints, but he is pretty much complete. Just have to write up a bio for him.

Awesome adaptation of the character. This one could easily meld into the Joe universe. Flawless as we've come to expect. Nice job, IW.

This is the modern Joey Chapman Union Jack, who inherited the costume from the WW2 era hero.

I love this figure and I would use it for Joe big time. Absolutely gorgeous.

The little details on this figure are perfect. The painted straps on the pouches? That's great little stuff that really adds up to a sharp figure.

The chest logo being on a "panel" (dunno what else you'd call it) is the design for the WW1 Union Jack actually, so intentional or not it's a cool touch. Nice figure.

Currently, Chapman is wearing an exact replica of the original Union Jack uniform. I was going more for his uniform from New Invaders and his first appearance in Captain America volume 5, where the emblem is the flap of jacket. I think the flag emblem is essential to the character, like Cap's shield, so I wanted to work it in without it looking like tights.

The figure is a reworked Crimson Guard. I removed the emblem on the left arm, as well ad the buttons and insignia on the chest and the jacket flap below the belt. The head is a modified Red Ninja. The knife is from Ghost Bear, the webgear from Snake-eyes with the Zartan boot knife. The Enfield is from Marauder and the .38 Webley is from an Indiana Jones figure.

That is a really tight custom. Great paints and perfect parts. He almost has an ultimized look to him, which is to say a little taste of reality. Chalk this custom up as real winner.

Oh, yes; very nice. The precision on the Jack itself is most impressive.

Yup, this is truly awesome. I <3 the Union Jack itself. How did you get it so straight?

Frikkin awesome! I might just steal this recipe to stand next to my SHS Cap and Bucky!
Although I doubt mine will look this good. ;-)

Had to caffinate to keep my hand from shaking and it took some trial and error to get the lines straight. Well, part of the errors was due to watching the "Ghostfacers" episode of "Supernatural" while painting.
