Dreadnok Crusher WIP

I liked the two Dreadnoks introduced from Convention set, but we gotta admit that it was lame that they just threw Zangief's head on Gnawgahyde's body- and referenced it in his bio, no less!
Anyhoo, I decided to make my own Crusher and Demolisher (pics of Demolisher coming soon).
Fitting Zangief's enormous head on a 1988 took a little time. I had to file down a whole lot off the sides of the head and the neck so it didn't look so huge. I think I still might file it down just a little more, though. I'm still deciding which colors to go with, although I think he looks a little 'Nok-ish as he is.
For accessories I'm going with a sawed off shotgun from a CORPS! figure and a wrecking tool from Marauder, cause I think that 'Noks need a good melee weapon as well as a range weapon.
The vest is optional, too.

I already like him better than the 'Con version. This guy could use a little more to set him apart from Armadillo (who was questionable to begin with). Maybe different arms and a logo on his shirt? Or some paint on the lower half? The 'Noks are pretty fond of jeans and black biker boots.

Good call. I went with Armadillo since he is relatively obscure/ not very recognizable. I'm probably going to give those arms to my Demolisher custom. I was thinking about adding the tattoo on his head, but I'n not too good at detail painting yet. A design on the shirt is a pretty good idea; any suggestions for paint that would be good for making those pants look like jeans?

Nice! He's his own man now!

Some tattoos would help seperate him, or even some thighs that look a little baggier. What about some BDU pants.

So.Much.Better

I like it, looking forward to the painted piece. And I like that Crusher is getting some individuality.
