Syndicate Customs’ Rambo brings us his excellent renditions of The A-Team, in true ARAH style. I pity da foo’ who doesn’t check these out!
“My A-Team customs. After years and years of watching EVILFACE’s version I was finally able to make my own. Hannibal and Murdock are not that original in parts selection but I think I did it well with Face and Mr. T. Something strange I found is that Hannibal got shorter than the rest.”

From the workbench of The Syndicate’s Tim 121RVC:
