After taking another look at this guy I realized I had not painted the face at all, just the hair and add ons. A quick coat of paint and a new eyebrow. Did it help any?

Playing with the Corps torsos and I decided this one could be used for Destro. I had never been truly happy with my version that used the GvC Cobra Commander torso anyway and the Count Dooku head I was using for the unmasked look didn't feel right, never-mind the badly shaped Downtown head I was using for a masked version. Salvaged the CLAWs Commander and Marvel legs from my original but everything else is new.

Unmasked Head: 21st Century soldier
Masked Head: Drax
Torso and Arms: Corps
Waist: Barrage
Legs: Claws Commander/Marvel Leader

After Darkwing and Launchpad followed by the Talespin bunch, these guys were on my must do list.

Chip was based on Indiana Jones so I used that as my inspiration as well. Tried to give him an obvious Indy look without being Indy himself. The fedora is removable and was trimmed down from a Chap Mei cowboy.


Dale was Magnum P.I. Same thing as Chip, I used his mustachioed majesty as a basis for Dale.


Monterey Jack was oing to be tough going in but I had this fat Chap Mei guy from a dinosaur set. This is my second attempt at turning a fat t-crotch torso into a fat o-ring torso. I like this look better than my first attempt but the jacket hides alot of flaws and he's not very playable, but he's still o-ring, so there's that. I wish I could have found a jollier fat guy head but this was all I had from a MIB slug alien guy.
I bounced back an forth on Zipper. Originally planned to be an AI drone that followed the team but then decide to make him a pet. I was leaning towards a corgi and looking through my animals when I came across this Capuchin monkey. Sculpted on a t-shirt and I'm happy with it.


Gadget began as my Firewall but I never really like the custom for her. Suddenly realized I had pieced Gadget together and this is the one that really got the ball rolling on this set.


All together now when there's danger.


And I actually took a prepaint shot of the three guys.

I think the Doc Terror repaint works great.

Nice work on the Rescue Rangers, I've got Monty and Gadget waiting for paint... I was thinking about a small drone for zipper, but I like the monkey idea, too.

_________________

If not a drone, I might have turned Zipper into a parrot or other somewhat talking bird. That way he could have still had the green-blue color and been able to fly.

The rest of the group works really, really well.

Thanks! And take it from me, DO NOT GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH FOR RESCUE RANGER GADGET. There's some messed up people out there.



Really glad I revisited that head. Thanks for the suggestion.

Can't wait to see your versions, I kept referencing your Chip and Dale while piecing mine together.



I almost went with a bird after I couldn't find the micro machine VTOL I know I have somewhere around here. But after Freedom, Polly, Voltar's bird, and Raptor's bird I felt the bird sidekick would have been cliche. The monkey fills the role of squeaking, possibly communicating, overactive friend without humanizing Zipper. And so far he's the only monkey sidekick in my joeverse.

Your sculpt work on these is fantastic.

Have you thought about adding a gloss or semi-gloss coat to the finished projects?
