Here's three more vehicle drivers.

Backstop - I wanted to update his color scheme, but I kept some of the orange and yellow on the helmet as a tribute to the original. This wasn't my ideal head choice, but it fits the helmet really well and does serve to toughen up his appearance.

Wild Card - I tried cutting the sleeves on another vest and didn't like the look so I went with an uncut look.

Hot Seat - This one was damn tricky. I just couldn't get the paint to adhere, and the vest was a tough fit.

Custom Joes on JC??? Huh??

Backstop simply rocks. I like everything about him.
Wild Card is right up there- no critiques.
And I love that you made Hot Seat look a bit older- the seasoned vet.

Holy carp those are awesome!

Especially like the idea of using Wolvie's vest on Wild Card - never thought that it would fit on a Joe. Gonna try that one.

Backstop is my fave (even if he's just a Canadian :shifty: ) and the paints are super-clean on everything.

Excellent work.

I am seeing these three for the first time, and they are all excellent.

I love the detail work and wash on the first figure especially, and Hotseat's headgear is inspired work.

Very nicely done.

Nice. I especially like the chest armor on Backstop and the sheath for Wildcard.

Back-Stop and Wild card in the same thread? Are you trying to suck up to me?

I think these are all solid customs. I love Back-Stop customs cause everyone updates his look. It's great seeing different talents' interpretations of him. Was the Blowtorch torso a deliberate nod to Argentina Back-Stop?

Wild Card is surprisingly effect for a straight translation of the original. Very good part choices.

Ha. I know. It's a niche someone's got to fill. ;)

Yes and no. I had considered that piece right off the bat, because I was pretty sure I wanted him to look more armored and formidable than the original, but I couldn't decide between that and a few other choices. While looking him up on Yojoe, I saw the Argentinian figure and that sealed the deal.

I forgot to mention that I got the idea for the vest from Heretic's Wild Card, so all credit to him for the clever parts choice.

Freaking masterpiece right there.

Wild Card is very solid and Hot Seat is clever, but I agree with others: Backstop's a show stealer.

Every time I see your customs they make me hate Hasboring even more for their lack of imagination.

I'd buy multiples of each one.
