Neil Johnson - Apocalypse Veteran

The long war known as the Apocalypse, almost ended mankind as we know it. Anti-gravity had been discovered, and instead of making conventional items such as flying cars, people wanted to make more versatile weaponry. The world entered a state of paranoia as alliances were broken and freedoms were demolished. The world had finally woke up the slumbering beast known as Doomsday on Febuary 25th, 2113, and the world became a cold, nearly-lifeless rock. A war veteran, named Neil Johnson, decided to explore the toxic wasteland formerly known as planet Earth to see if there was any signs of organized civilization.





Thanks to DP for the backpack cutting technique, snd to whoever it was who made the backwards pilot torso technique! Enjoy!

Looks good I don't like the helmet.

Are you kidding me!?!?!?!?! That helmet looks totally bad arse!!!!11!1 This guy is awesome. Great combo on the minifig parts! As I said before the decals on the helmet rock my nerdy socks!

Oh, do I smell a comic coming after this?

Actually, this fig is totally purist besides the backpack of course...

And no comics. But I will do a series of MOCs.

Really?!?!? Must have that helmet now then!!!!!

Very sweet dude! I asume you love that hand-on-gun-as-a-clip technique too? The whole torso/helmet/legs combo is great!

@Muffin: You can either buy the Y-wing that came out 2 years ago, or http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?invXrefID=17498 ...

@667: Thanks! And yes, it's a brilliant technique!

He really looks like a real war veteren. I like the legs and the back pack the most.

His face doesn't really scream war-vet to me, but hey, it's your call. The rest of the figure is very well done!

The hand on the gun is really good! Didn't notice it at first.

I really like everything about him, can't find any faults.

Where the (sensored) do guys get this from!? I've always been told that the apocolypse was in 2012. I mean seriously!

No, the end of the world as we know it is in 2012. And most of these post-apoc idea are from assorted sci-fi movies and such.

I don't believe the 2012 doomsday prophecy, simply because there has been countless doomsday predictions.

Neither do I, but it isn't a doomsday prophecy. It's the end of the world AS WE KNOW IT!

It's Al Gore ranting his fat head off. Don't listen to him; he's a piece of rubbish.

Cheers to that, 80-0! darn democrats... anyway back on topic shall we?

Looks like a well-made desert soldier, and the helmet suits his uniform well.

That isn't DP's technique!

Thanks, glad you like the fig!

I'll aghain strongly advise changing the face. Looks far too happy to have just been in a intense and awful war that ended the lives of most of his species.

I'd recommend using that old police chief head; it may be yellow but it's a much better fit.

Better now?

While I don't always agree with you Joe your sense of humor is spot on. Always

I think the new face is great. It adds to the pain and suffering this man has gone through. He looks more war hardened. Great update!

Joe, Joe, Joe...

Anyways, it's good, but the colors could be darker (Recon Team outfit, black/gray outfit), and like I said over Xfire, change the headpiece to Ep3 Skywalker w/ Headset.
