Alpine

[Dr. Strange Love]

I hope you guys enjoy this I've been working on him off and on all day. He still needs his hat and goggles, someday I will get to those.

 

Head: Road Block

Torso: Crosshais

Upper Arms: V v.s. V Beach Head

Lower Arms: Dart

Waist & Legs: Gung Ho

Find him a hat....... maybe the one from the last Gung ho.

[BrotherShane]

I like 'em, that torso works really well for Alpine. Yeah a hat and googles will look good on him. Great work!

[gscbr]

that looks great. the only change I'd make is the legs. the upper legs just seem too thin compared to the rest of the figure.

I'm having problems with that longAss neck of his.. other than that I love it and love the cool pics

[Draven79]

I really like that!!!!! The only thing I would change is the length of the neck and try say the Gung Ho hat!

he looks good nie job . the head dose look alittle long. and the legs dont look that bad .

[Marvel_Joe_Spider]

I have the same feeling as JoeRyhno that neck is the only thing I don't like of the figure but overall it is nice

[falcon7]

Pretty cool custom. The body choice works very well for the figure. I also think the recent Gung-ho cap would work for this one. Still all in all another great custom. Keep 'em coming.

Dr.SL,

I'm reallydiggin' the look you got here. With or without the cap and goggles I know this is Alpine. An idea well worth copying.

Yeah I think you should use the short-necked Roadblock head and save the long-necked Roadblock head.

[GeneralZod]

I think its great...the only change would be the hat and the neck. other than that great body part choice

[Alyosha]

DSL- Nice work here. I would suggest maybe the hat from Recondo rather than the Gung Ho hat. With a little work dremeling out the inside to fit the head snugly and properly, it would look a little more accurate I think.

 

Also, try the goggles from any of the recent BBI guys for a more accurate look, and I would suggest even using a transparent yellow to tint the lens.

 

You might also consider switching to a Hacker waist since it already has "D" rings sculpted onto it.

 

If you decide not to mod it any, it still looks great (and I like it), and is easliy recognizable as Alpine. One question though...where did you get, and what color is that green? I LOVE it!

[MaceWinduPreview]

wow, that looks just like the original

[Dr. Strange Love]

Thanks guys for the suggestions and compliments.

 

I did chop down a little bit of his neck from the original. Roadblock's neck is a little to long but I didn't want his head to be riding on his shoulders.

 

 

I think I will keep the legs and change the waist.

I am not digging the Gung Ho hat on Alpine even though I made one. I will probably take Alys advice and try Recondo's hat. By the way Aly the paint I used is:

 

 

 

Citadel Color "Camo Green 61-44"

I swear by this paint and it is all I will use now.

the only place I am able to find this stuff is at a comic book store here in SA, Tx.

 

Thanks guys for all the advice!

[AirborneRigger]

He looks awesome!

[blazer8100]

I think if you got a bbi beret the head would look more like stalker than alpine, awesome work though, im going to try out that paint too

[GILTYONE]

Good work I like him!

[Bekker]

Great idea he,looks good,i really like your take here.its always cool to see someone step out of the regular joe world and cast some light on there own takes.

 

Really kick ass custom,and I too swear but GWS paints,and that green is awesome color.

[midnight doctor]

Nice job.Great colors.Much better than the shrimp Hasbro released and passed off recently as Alpine.
