I've had Leatherneck sitting on my table for months now and finally knocked him out. At first I was going to go straight up original update but I decided to go more modern Marine with the MARPAT-looking uniform. It's not perfect but it's damn close and turned out really nice(there are a few touch-ups that need to be done but he's pretty much finished).
I also took pics in phases while painting the MARPAT-look to show my process.

Once I did my Leatherneck custom in MARPAT I decided that I had to make an updated Sgt. Slaughter and Gung Ho in MARPAT as well. So, here's Gung Ho!

When I first saw the design for IDW's Cobra Commander I started sculpting a head to resemble it. While not a 100% copy of IDW's design, I like they way he turned out.
This figure is also on Ebay this week.

This auction is for a Rise Of Cobra styled Salvo in reactive impact armor. Salvo includes his rocket launcher, his pistol, and his helmet.
Salvo is a character that I've wanted to update since the 25th Anniversary figures came out but once I saw the Reactive Impact Armor Heavy Duty from the movie line I knew I had to make a Salvo with that body.
Head: DTC Salvo
Body: RIA Heavy Duty
Launcher: Desert Ambush Duke
This figure is up on Ebay now.

This is my Pursuit of Cobra Urban Environment H.I.S.S. Tank and Cobra H.I.S.S. Driver. I personally didn't care for the color of the factory colored H.I.S.S. Tank so I decided to give the more urban design. This tank looks very cool in person! The H.I.S.S. tank includes the removable cannon w/ missile and fire blast, the removable gatling gun w/ ammo belt, and the H.I.S.S. Driver w/ pistol, vest, and backpack.
This tank was completely repainted from top to bottom and I added various washes and drybrushed metallic, rust, and sand details are over the tank. The treads were dyed black before I painted them. I even added detailing to the cockpit like the silver rivets in the canopy, the leather seat cushions, and the buttons on
the consoles. This thing is a beauty!
This is one of my Ebay auctions this week so please bid all you like! ;)
