Thanks guys. I have a spare radio from PoC Hawk, I think I'll use it to replace the grenades on Lifeline's vest.

Day 4 is up. I thought I would celebrate the USA's birthday with GI Joe himself. Happy 4th of July everyone.

Wow, that GI Joe is terrific.
I'd buy a few if it were available at retail.
Well done indeed!

That GI Joe is FOW.

I daresay I'd grab as many as I could at retail so I could head swap an entire Green Beret Alpha Team.

Thanks guys.

Day 5 is up. Today's customs are simpler, so I'm posting 2.

Enjoy!

Ace's legs (Outback?) are too skinny for the upper half. GIJCC's Iceberg would be in good company with him. :lol:

CC looks good though, you finished ehst the DG figure started. He needs a missile launcher though. And a plethora of silver guns. The pic of him with those Heat Vipers give me hope you're working on the BC 94 Viper and 93 Eel...

Lol, thanks man. Actually, I think the camera angle is making the legs look skinnier than they really are, but I agree, he is a bit top heavy.

Stay tuned for more Vipers later this month :-D

Cobra Commander looks great!

Ace, on the other hand, I'm not feeling so much. Those new legs don't really feel very pilot-y. The figure's original legs (or at least uppers) were more accurate, given the original '93 Ace sported those pilot's chaps.
I do seriously dig the use of Blowtorch's head and Ripcord's helmet.

Thanks guys. I may revisit Ace's legs, I'll see if the original SRO uppers works with the Outback lowers.

Day 6 is up.

Enjoy!

I'm really enjoying seeing your take on the BC characters.

I'm digging that Mace figure especially.

Thanks DJ.

Day 7 is up with a couple of snow Troops. I'm not convinced that this is my best Snow Storm. I like the legs and the body. I think the head or helmet needs to be changed or modified. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free.

Day 8 is up with Colonel Courage.

Enjoy!

As a casual observer here on Joe Customs I will say this has me checking in far more frequently than I have been.

I would totally buy these by the case if released at retail

BTW I have had just about the same parts thrown together for a Col. Courage in my wips bin. This makes me want to go finish him! If only I could paint!

Thanks guys.

Day 9 is up with a member of the DEF and his K-9 partner.

What types of paint Ayer you using? It looks like folk art, somewhat matte or pastel. Do you get paint chipping?
