Post subject:  My GI Joe SWAT team
I'm back after some time. It has been a while since I post a custom this time I'm posting an entire team. Two are fresh new customs others are just some improvements. Let's start.

Shockwave: I made this custom a while back using the recipes seen around I won't go to deep on this one because I showed it before didn't do much here except giving it a flat varnish somehow the other varnish I use tends to make the soft plastic part sticky with time.

Parts list:
Head: 25th Beachead
Torso: 25th Firefly
Arms: 25th Firefly
Legs: 25th Firefly
Hat: Chap Mei figure
Backpack: 25th Duke


Ironhide: Ok this one I also did a while back in fact this was original from VvV I made this character back then and when the 25th poped out decided to give it a 25th version. I made several modifications, new head I used Beachhead one in the first one but in order to have different heads I swapped it; removed the helmet and gave him a comm headset; new lower arms I used Bazzoca ones originally but mostly because I didn't have others; new gun; added a camera strap to Nemo's leg

Parts list:
Head: 25th Para Viper w/ CC battle armor mic attached to it

Legs: 25th Duke
Vest: 25th Roadblock
Belt: 25th Snake Eyes harness modded
Nemo: Choco Egg Faruta cat w/ custom made strap camera made from ROC Pit commando parts


Wide Scope: Ok this one is new I always liked the original Wide Scope concept and it would fit perfectly in this.

Very nice team. I like the roster you've created. Only one minor critique is to give the Punisher a little facial scruff.

I like your team , well done. Punisher is the best I think.Did you GL head come off as a boil and pop or did you have to make the neck hole to fit the 25th figure?

Cool team!

I think Ironhide is my favorite - Everything comes together really well on that one.

I like the body work on the Punisher, too, but I don't see "Frank Castle" in that head-sculpt. The GL head looks pretty damn good in itself but I could see it working better for some other Joes like Grunt, Steeler or Wet Suit.

Thanks guys I hope I can finish one or 2 more before I go on vacations.

As for the GL head well I got it loose on a trade never took one off yet. I had to enlarge and work a bit on the whole in order to fit ok.
