    I don't know why HasTak didn't make this repaint, the only retool needed is a new head.

    How does that mold look with a GI Joe on it? Is it close to 1:18?

    Nice work :thumbs2: 
    Did you tint the clear plastic of the headlights blue? And how did you remove the paint off the clear plastic?

    Thanks, You learn something every day ;) 

    No clue, I don't have any...

    Thanks, I half cheated, cause I used a red KO from aliexpress and I didn't touch the front, it came like that.

    Thanks! That looks pretty good, and the newer Joes are a bit taller, so even better!!

    Thanks.

    Kudos to you. I had a spare Doublecross face after turning him into Fangry.

    That Fangry is impressive too.

    What sort of modification did you do to Groove's neck peg and/or Doublecross's head to get them together, may I ask?

    Takara made an Override out of the legends size Groove, but I think I like this a lot more. Great job!

    I left the back half of Groove's head connected to the peg and carved a semicircular hole behind Doublecross's chin to fit the peg, and glued the two parts. In the side pic you can see they don't match perfectly, but it worked good enough so I left it like that.
