Finally put together my F-4 jock. A few minor tweaks and some light weathering.
The basic figure is from hot Toys. I didn't change much except the oval rescue snap ring, which I replaced w/ a triangular model. I also pulled the batting out of the horse shoe of the life preserver. I added the chopped-down .45 holster for the .38 revolver.
I sanded the Navy markings off of the helmet w/ steel wool and added graphics from a decal set from an old helicopter model kit. I added a anchor strap to the rescue harness for the O2 mask.
The boots are NLM jungles.
The head sculpt is DML "Berthold Nasse". And I don't think I'll ever get the helmet back off--:lol
Very nice. I especially like how the figure looks like he's actually wearing this stuff and that the gear has some heft to it. Nothing ruins a god figure like pouches and straps floating in the air.
I bought the F-4 driver over the HT Aviators, this figure is sweet. now all i need is afew more helmets and gear for a change. Great figure from top to bottom. I hope for more variety of pilots.
