Here's a pic of a repro, but it's the correct color. Some paint would wear off in the field on the hanle and blade of course. Beautiful work again!

Re: ELVIS1976 custom work and kitbash
Wanted a Kroenen with the body suit for a long time but sideshow version was pretty laughable.
Will take some more dynamic pause later on.
SO here's the recipe.
TT body
Kato E body suit
Sideshow armour and gear repainted, removed the horrible elastic straps and replaced them with leather straps.
DID boots
Mask repainted 'sandstorm' style

Kroenen looks good... one suggestion; if you can get the new TT (with the larger upperbody and arms) he'll look even better in the suit.
The tight body suit sort of illustrates the odd shoulders, but aside from that he looks badass
Oh, and I can't wait to see that WWII weathering on the project you've got cooking for me

Yes i know there ar elike 2 balls on the shoulder for the moment.
I will get those new TT for sure, the shoulder area look more realistic.

Yeah, and the forearms (I think) have sculpted veins which looks good under the suit.
Hmmm... I need to get some of the new TT as well

Re: ELVIS1976 custom work and kitbash
galactiboy is absolutely right! Narrow shoulders should fit better to this figure. And seems to me that the underpants from Wolverine could be nice for this guy. Also, there was a glass windows on the armor in the movie, where two small gears part seen. Try to fill them up with little epoxy and place gloss varnish on it after all - it will look very authentic, believe me
I'm very big Kroenen fan, and this custom delighted me much. Great job, Big-E, now I understand that I should work to remove all this elastic parts and replace them with leather - it's worth for it. Bravo! Best Kroenen yet indeed. Change the body
PS Can you tell us what is the full name of this black suit? Looks pretty nice, would be great to get one or few...

Re: ELVIS1976 custom work and kitbash
It's from Kato. He was doing a couple of these with some rare material that he had left over from another commission he was working on. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I picked up one as well and it is top notch. Haven't decided what to do with mine yet but this is tempting.

V-Raptor: Those Kato suits are really nice but be prepared to pay good $$ for it. All of his work is pretty expensive. Top notch yes, but expensive. If it's an amount you can't or don't want to pay, may I suggest asking member Vivisect to make you a jump suit with a similar fabric. He does a good job on jumpsuits and it would be just a matter of finding that type of fabric. (Sorry to hijack your thread Seb. Just want to help out V)

Kroenen looks fantastic! And even though a Wesker body would look better on him in the suit, I think it actually fits the character. Kroenen wasn't pretty naked. I think that body gives him a boney shoulders look and hints at his true awkward body underneath.
The mask is also awesome! Its a shame he didn't wear any more masks than he did (and a shame he wasn't in HB2).

Ok, got another package from Seb, filled with goodies: a custom Capt. John Miller and two painted heads (Bale- Equilibrium and Cruise-Last Samurai, which I added on my own custom figures).
The pics! :
