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.

GI Joe Jungle Squad

Duke




Outback




Muskrat

i like these a lot. that's a big group, about how long did it take to finish them?

i'd like to see close ups of each with codenames. there are a few i'm not sure of.

Recondo



Crosshairs




Repeater




Tunnel Rat




Pathfinder




Falcon

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.

now that is wht I'm talking about!

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.

love all of them
very nice work man

Always good stuff! You need to post more often, hate waiting so long to see great customs.
