I'll have one eventually, might even do up a Goldy too. It'd be pretty cool to have 1/6 verions of SBv2, Starduster, and Claymore as they're the three rarest (or so) vintage Joes.
As for the retooling there were just things on the head that needed adjusting. I fixed them indivudually on the casts as they came out but for the second run (now that I've caught it) I should be able to just cast and go.

Well, you not having one and then having to retool it before getting one.

Re: Steel Brigade Re-Enlistment
Starduster would be a kewl project. The turquoise camo outfit would be hard to source though.

Not really that hard. Even less so if you can forgive cammo pattern accuracy so long as the color's matched.

Re: Steel Brigade Re-Enlistment
There'd definitely be some dye invloved there. Pants would probably be the moore difficult as you have to find white pants or pants that bleach white, dye them, and then do the camo. Though he's not my ideal Jump pilot it's something to think about if the astingcay works out.

Why would that matter? Most of us went with a different color sweater on our SB.

Meaning, getting the color of the pants to match the shirt with that lighter blue color. It's identical to Gung Ho's and is not dissimilar from the oldschool Navy light blue shirts. The color is entirely different from the cornflower blue of SB's OG shirt.

Re: Steel Brigade Re-Enlistment
The Goldys should be deploying soon, a few more things and they're in great shape. Had a little dio set up for this but it was just easier to hold. 
I should be pouring the cast for the 2nd run of silvers this weekend.
More in customs thread.

Re: Steel Brigade Re-Enlistment
Feedback? Was it a PM? It may have gotten lost in the shuffle, my inbox isn't what it used to be.
