Alpha Flight - Snowbird

joemichaels70 · **Posted:** Sun Feb 01, 2009 7:32 pm

Up for critique --

the latest addition to my Alpha Flight roster -
I imagine Snowbird to be an RCMP Officer/Liason, or possibly Intelligence -

Straight up repaint of NS Covergirl -
I chipped her shoulder putting her coat back on (fixed) and i'm not happy with her eyes -
but i kept making them worse the more i tried to fix them --

I'd also take suggestions on if/how I should accessorize her --

thanks,
Jm

I like your colour choices, for def. However, I'm wondering if this is Snowbird in Civillian gear or wat?

Please to be explaining.

I was thinking its the alter ego outfit.

Ahhh, cool concept and a cool series of customs.

first attempt to post got eaten...

Very cool custom indeed. And a fine looking team. Any plans to expand by incorporating other superhero units into you Joe team?

Well, since her primary power in the comic is to transform into animals, I'd make her an animal handler of some kind. Give her one of Spirit's eagles painted white or something. Beyond that I dunno. Not sold on that jacket as a vest, but the rest of the custom is nice. I dig it.

very nice paint job and the colors say snowbird for sure . I think it works for a AF military team look.

Nice.
But I like your Windshear and Guardian best since they're very well executed ARAH customs!
Say, Puck has these two custom Vipers behind him. Who are they, are they listed yet? They're pretty interesting too.

Thanks!
Puck was actually my entry for NJC #3, and Guardian & Windshear were part of my NJC #21--

The two Vipers behind Puck are my SCALE Vipers

JM I just wanted to say you suck

! I ended up going off on an Alpha Flight Tangent last night and Wrote bios for every member of the team sans the Omega Flight team. Finally went to bed around 4 am.

Great looking customs! thanks for the re-nspiration, I had started the idea a while ago and dismissed it somewhere along the line.

Great custom, love the paint work. The idea behind the team even cooler.

Well, my initial reaction was it definitely looks like a civilian/real world version of the superhero costume.

I think she needs an Indiana Jones pouch on her left hip, but maybe I'm thinking of another member of Alpha Flight...
