That Past Joe Canuck is really really good (and I have #5 of the original 20). How did you make it?

Basically, I used parts from two figures:

  • Head: Laser-Viper (with sculpted winter hat) with compliments of the goggles from 25th Anniversary SnowJob
  • Body: Blizzard
  • Accessories: neat spare accessories pack brown riffle and backpack that magically match the brown enamel paint I used - woohoo!

That is great work, can you post the figure recipe?
As for ARAH Timbit, parts used were:
  • Head: Sgt. Hacker head (modified, epoxy was used for the hair)
  • Torso: Cutter v.2
  • Arms: Hot Seat
  • Waist and Legs: Shockwave

The hair looks great - very good job with the epoxy.

Thanks. Timbit's hair didn't give me any trouble, but Snackpack did give me some. So I decided to make him for another day when I'm done with Shiver and Black Ice, the next ones to appear on the PAST and PRESENT project.

Before I answer your question, just know that the most important ingredient is NeoDragon's Shiver v.1 custom. Without it, you wouldn't be necessarily looking at the ARAH translation of it. Yes, this time I did a custom of a great custom. Why? First because IMO, Neo's Shiver v.1 is the best plastic representation of it that I know, along with the Mike's Sigma Six style custom. Neo did make a Shiver v.2, which I hope will make it sometime soon in this thread. But next comes Black Ice! (again another ARAH representation of Neo's custom!).

Second, because this is now the chance for both Neo and I to push the enveloppe on the Past and Present collaboration.


Figure recipe: let's make a game out of it, can anyone take a guess?  :)

You got Zartan and Cobra trooper right. They're not Lift Ticket's arms. But you're burning. Think same year.

As for the head it should be a very easy one for anyone familiar with the VvV comic pack figures.

EDIT: Nobody can guess who's torso it is? Hint: it's a very cool joe figure, but very overlooked by Grunt4mvp since he only collected original ARAH until the 1988 line. So that should give you an idea which year to look into. Time to put that Mark Bellomo book to good use guys!

Yep! c'mon you sunk most of my battleship! What about the torso, I provided a hint in my previous post, can you guess?
