Flight Deck Crew
 

Here's some more pics of the guys in action.

The Custom Flagg Crew


Wheelhouse the Helmsman


Catapults and Arresting Gear


Plane Directior


Ordenanceman

Aviation Fuels


Aircraft Handler


Airwing Plane Captain and Maintenance


Air Transfer Officer

The crew memebers are made up of Shipwreck v1 with various heads.
I think Wheelhouse's head is a CORPS! head.
The Flight Deck Crew are made up of Tripwire and Flash/Grand Slam torsos and Tripwire heads.
The arms, waists and legs are from the Green Shirts.

Real flight deck crewmen wear a coloured jackets depicting what job they are performing on the flight deck and the wear helmets with ear protection. The Tripwire heads were perfect for this application since they have a full helmet, goggles and the ear phones he has attached to his mine detecting equipment look like hearing protection.

I wish I could have found more Grand Salm/Flash torsos as I think they look better, but the Tripwire torsos look pretty good. My intention was just to paint just the pads, but Tripwire doesn't have pads on the back like the Flash/Grand Slam, so I opted to paint the whole torso. The tape is reflective tape worn on the uniforms so the crew members are seen more easliy at night.

Much thanks to Bcost over at JoeCustoms for the paint work.

Great idea!

thats alot of Tripwires

Carrier Crew
 

Very authentic and very cool.

...but they all look different in some way or the other. Great job! :cool:

These are amazing, Otto. What I like is that the use of the same mold is in the spirit of the original 82-83 figures. I wonder if the 25th Wild Bill yellow flight vests fit on the arah figs...those might look cool :confused:

Super cool!
