Roger Moore Wild Geese UPGRADE

[Hooky1974]

Hi folks,

just completed a little upgrade of my Shaun Fynn/Wild Geese figure. I swapped the SST Bond body/head for a DiD body and Headplay sculp.
He's gone from this:



To this:

Nice!

That Headplay sculpt really works. It's a lot better than I thought it was.

CHEERS!

[Hooky1974]

Yep, Roger, it certainly is. The first time I saw it, it didn't look all that good, but I saw better shots of it and it did seem to have a good likeness. In hand it's very nice indeed. Cheers!

[GreenWolfGear]

Great likeness and nice model, just an observation, the beret you used is military police red and the one worn in the movie was a para beret with I believe was a Irish guards cap badge. Otherwise its only a small detail ad. Still like the figure. Well done.

[8-bit commando]

looks AWESOME.

The only one that I was keen on was the one I got and that was the old Sean Connery. That was really nice and made a perfect Henry Jones. Why they didn't let that sculptor do all the heads and slow down production a little is beyond me.

Now you need to find Richard Harris, Richard Burton and Hardy Kruger (He was in that wasn't he!?).

CHEERS!

[MFisher]

only suggestion I have is soak that beret in hairspray then shape it... once dry it will keep the shape.. right now it looks kind of like a muffin on his head..

Hardy Kruger was indeed in it!

I might give that a try.

This one was the closest I could find at the time. Cheers

Ive always though that companies like DML can still be in the game and the sculpts make a large difference. I picked up some of their Saving Private Ryan sculpts and was gladly surprised by the quality. This figure porves what ive always though. HUGE difference.

[SSGStank]

The new head looks great, I am gonna have to look that movie up I have not seen it in years.

[rogerbee]

Hardy Kruger was indeed in it!

That's good,

I've only seen the movie once, and then seen the out-takes countless times on It'll Be Alright On The Night!

CHEERS!

[geekymann]

so much better than before.. Headplay headset really really works! nice

[Hooky1974]

Thanks geekymann, it is such an improvement isn't it? Like night and day.

[HOWITZER105MM]

Brings back fond memories when my dad brought me to watch this movie.

[GreenWolfGear]

Still one of my favourite movies of all time.

[Barbarossa]

Much closer than the other one!

Nice work!!

[Steve O.]

Much better 'sculpt. If you're going to pose him with the silenced Browning (I figure that's what it must be) he needs a cigar to go with it! :-)

[Hooky1974]

He does need a cigar, never got round to getting him one, did see one a while back, hot toys I think, but it was going to be £10, which I thought was a lot. Love the quote!

[pukingdog]

Very nice, and a heck of an improvement with that sculpt. Roll your own ceegar from paper, putty, or even a shaved-down chunk of toothpick.

Where is the Uzi ?

[Hooky1974]

I do have an uzi for him, it's usually slung over his shoulder but wasn't when I took these shots.

[All Mighty One]

Cool bash, I like that HS.
Years back I too made a similar bash using the SST HS. Might have to pick up that HS.
Maybe get a silenced P38 to complete the bash.

[Hooky1974]

Might have to see if I can get hold of one, I have him with a silenced browning. (think it's a browning anyway, dml)
