Thanks! Man, what a pain. I can get away with the stripes not being perfect on the sleeves because of the shirt wrinkles. But the helmet stripes had to be perfect, and either they wound up being too tall or crooked or the lines weren't straight. Sheesh.

Packer you have gotten really good I am a big fan of your work.. Trust me printing and applying emblems comes out really well and much easier than going blind.. just my two cents.

Yeah, I agree....I'm looking forward to seeing your take on Ole' Sarge. Unfortunely, the walls of time are closing in on this line....It's looking like the only way to get some of the "wants", that are high on our lists, are to make them ourselves, as customs!!

Oh, I believe it. But it feels a bit like cheating to me, lol. Like painting the Mona Lisa's body than photoshopping her face. Part of me likes the challenge of handpainting everything. Most of them aren't as challenging as Sarge. Curves aren't tough, long line aren't bad. It was just painting something that small, that needed to be that straight. Old dog, new tricks, etc.

Atten-hut!

Here he is, well, the best pictures I could get before the stupid string for his dog tags came undone. My fat fingers can't seem to get it tied now so I have to probably go buy some string to make a new necklace for Sarge. I'll post some more pics when I do. Until then...

At ease, gentlemen...

Great work, packerbacker! Really nice version of Sgt. Rock. Did you think about using some very small necklace chain for his dog tags, instead of string?

Dude! That is awesome! Really great work on sculpting the sleeves and the front of the shirt. Oh for the Dog Tags WWE elite John Cena comes with a set of dog tags.

Hey, thanks a lot guys for making me feel like I did the character justice. As to dog tags, ain't no way I'm ever buying John Cena anything, lol. I can't see him. Think I'm going to kick back and do a couple simple paint scheme figures, maybe even to help celebrate the SuperRepaints Mattel just unveiled.
