Great job, I have a question though. Which helmet did you use for Claymore? I made a Claymore custom using the Biggs head but can't find a helmet to fit.

Not bad...pretty decent job copying the ARAH figures..

Gungho's head needs to be painted to work as leatherneck...not just that awful skintone...but to be given black hair.

Thanks for the comments guys.

When Leatherneck went to Brazil he dyed his hair brown instead of black. I was just going by the original figure for hair color.

The helmet on Claymore is Breakers from the comic pack. I ordered some green stuff and I will be adding some leafy foliage on top of the helmet when it gets here.

I am thinking about using the Biggs Darklighter head on Footloose also.

They all look awesome but Mainframe has to be my favorite.
I plan to use that recipe to make a regular Mainframe for myself now.

The only thing I plan on changing with Mainframe is the attachment on his left leg. Right now it is Gung Ho's grenades, Ripper has the same legs but with a different attachment that has some pockets I think. I am going to use that and try to find him a laptop.

I used gung Ho's hands on mainframe.

Those are fantastic! I can’t pic a favorite; they’re just all so great and are a perfect update to the old set.

more awesome looking figures, my favs are wetsuit and leatherneck, but all are really well done and would be a great set to purchase if they did them for sure,
Tim

Outstanding job, m'man! Consider many, if not all your recipes stolen (if I can find the figs that is...)

Thanks for the comments guys. Here are some tips if you guys want the recipe or were wondering about different parts.
Leatherneck - Buzzer torso, shoulder pad cut off.

Mainframe - These are Gung Ho hands.

Wetsuit - Top of head was molded for original look. Upper arms are stalker, lower arms are tomax, hands are stalker, wrist thing is from tomax also. The breathing apparatus and the flippers are from some PTE set. The black harness is custom made from a stalker harness. The two pockets that are usually on the right side were cut from the harness and glued to the end of the harness straps on both sides. The whole belt was cut off from that harness. I used a cobra infantry suspender strap as the belt.

Capt. Claymore - Biggs Darklighter head (star wars). Breakers helmet. Part of dukes strap connects the center of the vest.

Dial tone - This is another stalker harness. Belt was cut off and connected to a partial Duke strap. Straps were glued down at the ends where they would connect to the belt. Head is stalker.

If you like the red on dial tone and mainframe it is made by Apple Barrel and is 20533 Crimson.

These really look great. Wet Suit would be my favorite, and Dail Tone is incomplete w/o his radio backpack.
Have you thought about what laptop your going to give Mainframe?? If you wanting a modern on try MarauderInc's PTE laptop http://www.marauderinc.com/servlet/Detail?no=133 only $0.99 , and if you don't want to try and mod a Dial Tone v1 backpack there's always http://www.marauderinc.com/servlet/Detail?no=218 for $0.75 . ;-)
