Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hi All,

Well another custom from me though this one i`m still working on.

I was inspired by a friends & Kicked myself hard for not seeing it too Sometimes that happens though I suppose (so thank`s Dave).

Well I used the head of GIJOE Ripper with the Banadana of GI JOE Heavy Duty ( I think he is). I sanded down the lamb chops on the side of the head & removed the sunglasses he came with. I sculpted a pair of glasses akin to what we see the Hulkster wearing Also sculpted a little at the bandana for a better fit.
I still need to add some more hair at the back,as his is longer than the what`s shown.

The Torso & Arms are from GIJOE Major Barrage though with the legs I`m thinking of combat pants,just not sure Black or camo though.So any ideas?
He will have articulated feet too,either Duke`s (seen in the photo) or Intoyz SWAT one`s.

Anyway here you go:-





POSES





So LMK what you guys think so far. As said he`s not done yet & I`ve not matched flesh colours either yet. Though it`s good enough to show as a WIP I think

the spitting image....great job!

"The Hulkster is gonna TEAR UP THIS PLACE AGRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

Paint his T-shirt yellow and you got him.
Boy this could be a new line of figures... Celeb XD fighters:
The Hulkster vs. German Mechanic (from Indy Jones figures)

Thank`s very much Aferg & Razor I really do appreciate the kind words

Razor,
I actually was tempted to do him in his Yellow & Red attire though I`m just not sure.
I may also go Bare chested & get a frient to make a Black cloth top & a Yellow one & I`ll paint the red onto it
The bandana though mmmm Will have to be one or the other i suppose.

The legs ARE going to be Woodland camo. Reason being it`s an image that stuck with me from the 80s,early 90s.
Hogan & other WWF wrestlers were doing Trips to US Military bases & Hogan was wearing his yellow & Red top with US Woodland bottoms.
Just stuck in my mind as a Must to do. better than doing him in his NWO attire I suppose.

I was partially tempted to do him in Black & have him in various styles then. As Wrestler,As the man as the Action movie star (Thunder in Paradise & Shadow Warrior type).

If I can get the cloth tops done I still can

Also a celeb 1/18th range is something I`ve always been interested in & I am looking at a few other Wrestlers & other celebs too. As you said up against Nazi`s,Terrorists etc should be fun

Again Thank`s very much,means a lot to hear he does look like Hogan

Awesome job, SB. I can't think of whose legs you could use, but you could do him in his wrestling skimpies. Otherwise, I'd say use Hannibal or VvV Torch legs for just plain jeans.

Now you need to do a custom Andre the Giant to go with him.

Thank`s very much Morian Miner.
I`m still undecided on legs at the moment though,thank`s for the input though

Well here`s HOGAN with face painted now & Shades too.

Also now with the torso he`s keeping.Still sorting the legs & the cloth tops.





FLASH BACK To Thunder In Paradise.

US ARMY ACU CAMO





BLACK (yea I know in the photo looks Blue...LOL)





BARE CHESTED



I`ve got to make another Black one & a White one then it`s onto NWO stuck on a black one & RED Hulkamania on the Yellow one with a GI JOE logo on the White one to do next

So LMK what you think

Well found a black piece of stretchy material (Cut up 1/6th dive suit).
So here`s this top I do think it IS a Lot better than the early Black one,what say you lot?







So I`ll redo the 1st Black one using this material. As said I do I believe have some white stretchy material & I`ll have to find/buy some Yellow & redo that top too.

LMK what you think please

Thank`s
