Football players, pro wrestlers, and even Cuban Dictators. GI Joe will just let anybody join now, won't they.

He's obviously a double agent.

I finally got a Flint, money was tight in September and had to cancel my pre-order which really sucked as he was my favorite as a kid. I'm going to repaint the head, and probably switch him over to a Hot Toys body, I really don't care for the Pro. If I can get my hands on a Charlie Sheen body somewhat cheap, I'd like to use that.

Until I repaint the head, I switched it with this, which works for me.

Got around to repainting the head, I'm pleased with how well it turned out.

Here are a few closeups of the head...

And one even closer showing the added skin texture...

definately very good. though it looks a little red, like he got a sunburn. I think if you painted the forearms to match it might work better (at least in photos).

I had the same thought! I have a Hot Toys Platoon body coming to switch him onto that has the forearms and neck post painted that way.

Nice repaint hero. How do you do the skin texture?

Thanks! The texture was created using the brush, kinda tapping it into the paint during the layering. As each layer started getting tacky, I'd tap the end of the brush into it. May not sound right as I try and explain it, but next time I do it I'll try and get pics, or better yet, figure out my webcam and video it.

In any case, here is another shot...

Which head are you using here? It looks really good.

 

[unsung hero]

It's the Hot Toys Perseus head.

 

[EVILFACE]

Looks like he has no neck.

The figure has no neck, period.

Saw a Flint closed for $83 on ebay yesterday. I was going to snipe it and then forgot.

Still waiting for Flint to go on the Gift card. At this point, it's been longer then it took Duke to become eligible.

Sideshow got wise to the cheapskates.

I thought the same thing when I saw that picture. No Neck Flint.
