Nope, no diver figures over here.

I managed to occupy some table space for our workstation tonight and continued with the figure:

Looking great, man.

I thought that head was either monkeywrench or outback, they might be the same, I'm not as into details recently, :)



I'm gonna have to watch spuda's video, I've never been able to disassemble joes.

Yeah, I realized it wasn't Torch later.  I knew I'd seen the head *in my hands* this past week, so it must look like Monkey Wrench - and MW and Outback might use the same head-mold.  Really well-balanced look - kinda tickled me that the parts I called Heavy Duty *weren't* and the parts I called otherwise *were* from HD.  Too funny.

The head is Outback, but I think they use a repaint with brown hair and beard and red bandanna on Monkey Wrench.
Side note: the Mandalorian helmet fits...I'd have to check if Clint's resin cast and the other Jango and Boba helmets fit, too.
I'll let you know later tonight.

Oh Spud, since I'm a fan of Chuck's, that's what came to my mind, too. 
I gave the Outback head a bit of an inkwash and a drybrush yesterday.
BTW: Chuck is a nice guy. I took part in one of his Tang Soo Do seminars back in the 90s and found him to be an easygoing, friendly genuinely approachable guy.

that... looks... AWESOME!!!!

I'm very impressed!  Only one suggestion... the armor needs to be given more silver.  It blends too much with the under-garments (for lack of a better term).  You should give the armor on all parts of him, both the removable jango armor, and all the little arm parts and the stomach parts the same colors.  Maybe something to match the helmet.

other than that..  AWESOME mix of parts.  Looks great.  this is your first "true" use of joe parts for star wars isn't it? Great job.  I can't tell you how much I like this.

I'm probably going to buy up some of the "reactive armor" figs and do some more mandos.   I've got to get some more helmets though.

Fantastic work, man, really far out.

I love the idea of a chuck mando, this guy looks like he'd be at home on any battlefield.
