I had a Night Spectre that had no stickers and a ROC Dragonhawk sticker sheet.

I didn't like how the cockpit of the Sharc is so I modded it and put a Firebat seat into it.  The dash piece and flight stick are from a model kit. 

Hope you guys like it :)

Wow, nice improvements.. I love your version of the Sharc too! I didn't know that the head on the ROC Wild Bill was bigger than the first 25th version.. interesting..

Just finished up some new customs:

Didn't want another Clutch so I decided to change him to Skidmark.  I know the original is orange, but I think the red works better as it is darker and it matches the car's red suspension.  The head is Pit Commando's.

Big Brawler is just the AoCI Outback.  Didn't want to paint over the Survivor so I just put Clutch's webgear on him to cover the chest. The head is Tomahawk from the Ghost Hawk.

Hope you like em.






Rampart:
When I saw the POC Dusty alternate head, the first thing that came to mind was an updated Rampart.

I was thinking of doing removable helmet but the head's too small and I don't have the time.  I still may do it later on but not right now.

Since the original one only showed his mouth, then why not just leave it like this.  There's no reason why he can't wear a mask...haha.





Swamp Rat:
Just for fun.  I didn't like the heads of the ROC Vipers but this was on sale and I thought since he's green, he's perfect to have a Swamp Rat head modified onto it.  Very simple custom.  Just had to mod the head to fit and then put on the accessories.

Simple and look great. I like that I can tell who they are right away.
Nice job.
My only critique is Rampart's colour scheme is a little "all over the place".

Two big thumbs up!

Thanks!  Yeah, I know Rampart's scheme is a little 'all over the place'. haha.  I left the green holsters just to compensate for his lack of green as the vintage one has green on his boots.  (it's my lazy excuse for not painting).

Personnaly I don't find that Rampart's paint scheme is all over the place. One could just supposed that this is how he would've looked like had he been re-released in the Battlecorps line.

But I have to give praise to your skidmark though. One thing is doing a Snake Eyes or another character that we've seen redone over and over. Another thing is to take an obscure character like Skidmark, and updating him in such a simple but impressive way. Four thumbs up!

EDIT: I don't own that many of the Valor Vs Venom figures but I do enjoy your Swamp Rat custom, it looks updated and natural.

Thanks for the comments.  I actually added a belt to him now so his waist isn't so plain.  Also took a pic without the helmet too.

I started off making this into the Cobra C.L.A.W.S. Commander.

After finishing it, I kinda thought that the uniform makes him still really recognizable as Cobra Commander.  So, I'm kinda torn between calling him Cobra C.L.A.W.S. Commander or Red Laser. 




What do you guys think?  C.L.A.W.S. Commander or Red Laser?
