I have not been on for awhile because of family, career and lack of knowledge with computers. I have been wanting to share these for a long time. I have never been a fan of the "sci-fi look" of GI Joe, so that I decided to make my own versions that are more military.

Thanks, I added the names over each and new images, was having problems yesterday when uploading. I would probably have to say that the entire squad took me close to a year to complete. These were finished nearly a year ago, but just recently got around to posting.

That is a sharp looking team. Good stuff.

Nice to see a team that looks like a team. I like the little individual tieback you made to the original figures.

Yeah, I'm waaaay into these. I love the subtle differentiation you worked in from character to character: it's immediately obvious that they're part of the same team, but everybody's easily distinguishable. I was able to recognize all but one right off the bat, and once you posted that second round with close-ups, it was obvious who the other guy was, too. I love that Pathfinder made it in: one of my favorite figures as a kid, and I really like the way you handled him. Whose vest is that on the Pathfinder custom? I can't quite place it.

Excellent work on all of these guys; I'd buy all of them instantly if they were on the shelves. And great camo-painting, too!

Man, just thinking about trying to paint all that camo makes my eyes cross and painting hand cramp. Really great project, nicely done.

Pathfinder's vest is actually Outback's original vest. I really appreciate all of the compliments. More of my customs to come soon - thx

All that ^^^.

Also, this team could easily go for a convention or TRU set.
I'm not that familiar with ME parts, but it seems you've added quite some extras on several body parts and (web)gear. I especially like the sheaths for Pathfinder, Recondo and Muskrat.
