custom classics Macabre (UK version)

[snaketales]

Apologies to anyone who hasnt been able to get hold of a Sky Shadow yet....

A simple repaint following the colours from the Marvel UK Target 2006 version. The hardest part was cutting out and glueing on his visor.

My kids tell me the gun is a disintegrator gun from the GI Joe movie line.

I have a custom Impactor (it's on these boards somewhere) so all I need is Emirate Xaaron. I have an idea for it but it involves finding a cheap revoltech Megatron.

I'd be one of those people Snakey , regardless though that is a pretty cool repaint indeed ; the comics did some weird things with colours didn't they?

[snaketales]

Yeah, for a while I was stuck between painting him light blue as per the comics or silver for a more realistic robotic look (and subdued colour theme).

Damn that's a good idea. Another to put on my project list.... Well over 50 figs already!

It's a nice repaint to make that character, very fitting and well achieved.

One thing I've never really noticed before is that the comic design has a big M on his belt buckle, just like Marvel's Apocalypse has his big silly A. Apocalypse first appeared in comics earlier the same year that issue of TF:UK was published. I wonder if Will Simpson was inspired by the mutant's design when drawing that issue.

Brilliant, Snaketales. Just brilliant.

Or perhaps Macabre was forged from the same place as Brawn and Huffer.
