11/03/11 Here is the last one of the series. I wanted to have a Cobra equivalent to Airborne, and Cobra already had the Gyro-Vipers, so Heli-Vipers fit the role perfectly. I was originally going to paint him like Gyro-Viper, but found that by painting the light purple black, he really fit in with [url=http://thegijoeindex.com/joeindex/usfigures/91/nightvulture1/Night Vulture[/url] http://chadmatted.wordpress.com/2011/11 ... lt-110411/ 11/03/11 Lastly for my Field Artillerymen is Sub-Zero (which I've renamed Snow Storm). Because his SMOS is Field Artillery, I've made him my Grenadier for my Winter Operations fire team. I figured that the original M-60 was a bit much since he's already carrying mortar, so I gave him a M203/M16. Obviously, the main customizing here was the head. I despise the original head so I gave him a combo of Chief Torpedo with a hood from Han Solo. http://chadmatted.wordpress.com/2011/11 ... ry-110311/ 11/02/11 On the same vein as Bazooka, here is my Hard Ball. After putting Bazooka together I figured that Hard Ball would be another great candidate for a flak vest. Then I saw Hard Ball in this video from the 1988 Action Vehicle Commercial Amazingly enough, he is wearing the Repeater vest. So here he is. http://chadmatted.wordpress.com/2011/11 ... ry-110211/ 11/01/11 Next is Bazooka. I never had a problem with his jersey, but thought he needed more protection. Seeing the 12" Bazooka figure back in 2008 showed me exactly what I needed to do. http://chadmatted.wordpress.com/2011/11 ... ry-110111/ 10/31/11 Like Sputnik earlier today, I have some customs that have been finished forever, just needed to post them. Here is my Star Brigade Duke. Not quite finished, as I plan on painting his straps. The helmet really is the only custom here. http://chadmatted.wordpress.com/2011/10 ... de-103111/ |

Much better than the craptastic helmet he came with. Kind of wish you took a full shot with the helmet on just to see how it sits compared with the body. I know that is a big helmet but with the bulkier body it should look really cool all together. |

I kinda wish you'd found a way to incorporate the Helmet, or at least the face mask that came with this Duke...but overall a very slick custom. |

Post subject: | Re: Duke: Star Brigade |
Definitely and interesting idea. This facemask is removable, but too bad I don't have a Duke SB helmet to play with. I based this off of issue 147 Not the most imaginative custom, but it fills a hole in my collection |

Bazooka looks great. He also brings to mind his fishing suit figure without going overboard. |

Great mod on Bazooka. I never would have thought of Repeater's torso as a t-shirt under armour. |

That Bazooka is awesome! A definite improvement over the original, but still maintains the "essence" of the original. Duke looks great as well. That helmet works a lot better than the weird one he came with. Excellent customs! |

Duke is good, but Bazooka is fantastic, can't wait to see more updates. |

I like the addition. The color match is close3 enough for Hardball, but I would have tried to match Bazooka's greens a little closer. Once you add the helmet and backpack you have like 5 different color greens together. |

Post subject: | Re: Matthew's Customs, Hard Ball added 11/02/11 |
I agree. Hardball works well, and Bazooka's not terrible until you put on his helmet. By the time I finished, the last thing I wanted to do was go back and repaint the torso . May have to repaint the helmet and accessories at some point. |

The jerseys have never bothered me either, but those vests do legitimize both guys in a way. When I get around to Hardball I think I'll try this idea. |
