Odin hairpiece secured. no more offers on that item, please.
would be nice to have some help on the screen grabs, though.

HT has too many recent licences on it's plate at the moment. prolly cheaper to get recent licences too?
and I think EB is more leaning towards 1/4 scale nowadays?
if you are referring to the last pic I posted, I think that's just some old loading toys sculpt (not sure though) I found from my "misc parts" pile?
thanx, mate. I think we might have a small chance of seeing an HT Bruce Willis (prolly G.I.Joe2/expendables2/DieHard5 though???), but not feeling really confident about the others...

not sure what you mean exactly? I buy my sculpts, just like any kitbasher.

looks fairly decent. you're still missing the bi-pod to be "movie accurate". and I would make the barrell a bit longer aswell...

just finished this... small practice run as I'm still waiting 4 parts to my next (biker! cough, cough...) few projects.
this bash is nothing that special really... so, I think I wont be posting it to the frontpage. mainly because everything essential to the character is made by HT.
body is a customised CmToys HJ002-rubberbody, custom cloth boots (not that accurate, but I thought it was a nice touch) and socks.
a few words I feel I need to share about the body...
first-of-all, to me the rubber feels somehow different from HT rubberbodies, cant really specify how, but very probably a different mixture? hopefully one that will prove very durable over time... the rubber seems to get dented fairly easy under pressure (via stand hooks/head giving pressure to the neck etc.), but it also tends to bounce back quite effortlesly (fully in a day or two).
anyhow... straight out-the-box the body looks a bit comical to say the least... very, very slim vaist, shoulders seem too protruding from the body, maybe a tad too long feet etc. etc. the overall body proportions just seem to be a bit off, somehow... but still, it is a sight for sore eyes to see one after so long.
IMO seamless rubberbodies are very underrated in this hobby nowadays, but I for one are all for them. mainly because of the obvious, the seamless look achieves a much more realistic look for any figure w/ exposed skin.
there's a lot of talk about the ristrictions rubber makes for the posing, but if you take a look at the HT hirshute bodies (TTM-19 etc.) the posing limitations are about the same? you cannot bend an arm over 90 degrees because of the elbow joints? the chest restricts arm movement inwards? etc. etc. the only real enhancement is the shoulder joint, as any type of posing wont result in damage under the armpits...
but moving along. the detereoration/tearing of the rubber... I've had absolutely no problems with that what so ever. MAINLY BECAUSE I FOLLOW THE RULES STATED IN THE INSTRUCTION SHEET. I really do hope HT re-issues the Leonidas body somehow, because that was pure perfection in this sense.
but back to the subject in hand. w/ a few tweaks (buffing the body wider, shortening feet pegs... and with some heads I'm pretty sure you will need to chop some rubber off the neck) this is a very nice body... atleast for the $60 I paid.
the one really BIG issue is that I am fairly certain the skintone will not match anything made by HT, ever. it's a closer match to DX04 and TTM-19, but still just a bit too light for those aswell. this is the more tanned one of the two caucasian types awailable and still the HT ROCKY III -head is too dark (like he would be exhausted or somethn) and orange(?) for it. but at this time I really dont mind that much. I'm just glad to finally have this franchise (I've been lacking) in my collection...
also should mention the veins/blood vessels, as I was a bit worried about them myself before ordering... to me it seems the sculptor went a little overboard w/ them. in photos the veins look really apparent/highlighted, but are much more tolerable in-hand... but everyhere. IMO less is more. they should've been toned down a little to achieve a more realistic look.
overall I think HJ002 is a very nice rubber body that w/ a few tweaks from the manufacturer coud've been perfect.
this bash makes me want to get Drago even more... I have a few enhancement/customising ideas for that one in my head, already.

the more I look at this Rocky bash of mine, I'm thinking it would be quite sweet if CmToys would make a seamless Arnold/bodybuilder type rubber body next (w/ HT matching skintone of-course).
I think I would cladly start a Conan bash w/ a properly proportioned body as nice as this one. and there would be many other characters/customs to use one aswell... (for example looking at pics of HT Drago, I'm thinking it could really use a body update... the whole figure looks dated and the current prices
are kinda preventing me of pulling the trigger).
anyway if there ever was one I might even think of replacing some of my older HT bodys w/ something like that...

anyone have any pointers how to easily create a stuble/five o'clock shadow effect? I'm no painter and have no air brush, so it should be a method that would make it easily achievable... paint or no paint. thanx.
