I recently completed my very own custom ARAH versions of Chacal Noir and Backstop. So I had to go back and finish the job:
(http://http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v463/latinjoe22/MY%20CUSTOMS/IMG_8772.jpg)
Parts that were used:
- Head, legs and waist: Hiss driver
- Torso: Grand Slam or Flash
- Arms: Charbroil

Enjoy!

nice job

Awesome. Cooler than the orignial HISS driver!
-
A lot of good parts choices make it comparable to standard HISS drivers but distinct. Well done.

Thanks. The parts choice was driven by the following:
- I wanted this Frostback to be as closest a translation as it could be from its 25th counterpart. "25th" aka Convention Frostback uses Grand Slam's and Flash's arms and chestplate ( also shared with Tripwire ). So I followed the same logic.
- I used Charbroil's arms because Flash' or Grand Slam' arms are more expensive to acquire these days. There are a lot of spare Charbroils out there, and they have more textured forearms plus they share a similar shoulder pad detail, so they were for me the best second part candidates for this custom.

Thanks DJ.
And I forgot to mention that the chestplate had to be made smooth with some epoxy and that took at least 2 to 3 days of waiting time before painting could begin on the figure.
I am now slowly progressing on my 80's style Timbit custom ( with Snackpack ;D of course). There will be quite a bit of Epoxy sculpting involved. I'm totally new to it and I have to say that I'm already very amazed with the fersitality of this stuff!
