Armada Punch/Counterpunch

My first ever fully-customized figure! Had this idea for a while, made a digibash to start, and then went all out once I got a spare Armada Sideways figure.

Took me about 2 weeks to finish the paint, only to find out that when I went to reassemble it, somehow I'd lost a few parts to the forearms! :BANG_HEAD: Anyway, ordered a junker to get the parts I needed, it arrived today, and FINALLY! FINNNNNNALLY I was able to put this thing together and show it off in all its glory.

Gun and hands were both from an RID Sideburn. Sideways' hands were awful and I wanted something that could hold a gun...had a spare Sideburn for another custom I want to do later, so I decided that'd be a nice fit.

Anyway, tell me what ya think! :D

Here's a quick pic :)

And here's my photobucket album with the rest!

Good idea, but it reminds me more of something from G2.

Thanks a lot, guys! I've already got number two lined up and should be starting that within the next week. I'll be sure to post when I finish that one as well! If you liked this, you'll LOVE my next one. Ironically it's using the same colors, too. hah...just my choice in characters it seems... #-o

really nice work on the paint. Not really fond of the Sideways figure, so that influences my opinion of the finished custom, but the colour scheme is good, the coverage is nice, it looks like it was made like this! I get a very late G1 vibe from it. Pretender/Action Master era sort of feel to it, which is good. Keep em coming!

Genius, simply PERFECT! I love Sideways, even though he seriously lacks articulation...and hands. But you fixed the hand problem at least. :P Whose hands did you cannibalize?

But seriously, That is completely flawless, I'm in awe. :)

Thanks a lot! The hands and gun were all amputated from a spare RID Sideburn figure :)
