2-Week Challenge - Action Force: http://www.joecustoms.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=119&t=44162

Non-Eligible LBCs (for the 48h contest)
These are a couple of LBCs that did not fit the criteria for the CCX LBC contest. I figured I would put them here.

Night Force Shockwave



Crimson Twins




Adventure People Stuff:
Finished up my Adventure People Rescue Copter, pilots, Safari Jim and Jody. I had a little fun photographing all my AP stuff together.

Safari Jim and Jody as well as their ride (made last year for CCIX). They still need some clear coat.





Here is the finished Rescue Copter with Pilots







My Adventure People customs collection so far:






GI Joe Stuff:
Here are the first finished customs. Technically, they are 99% done as I still need to hit them with clear coat. This will protect them and make the colors pop a bit. Unfortunately, it's too cold today, but I'll get it done in the next few days.

First off, is 2000 version of Big Ben. If I could find a Union Jack label for his sleeve, I will add add it. Meantime, he is going with on the shelf with Sideswipe, Thunderwing, Crossfire and the other RAH Joes.




Second, I worked on Storm Shadow from the Cobra Strike Team - Urban Division. The second pic includes the other members of the team that I have made so far.





Lastly, Daina from the Oktober Guard. She is based on her VvV Comic Pack look.

Thanks guys, these were nothing too complicated, but I'm glad that they are off my wip list For Big Ben, I'll probably go back and add a backpack before submitting to the gallery.

Stay tuned later today, I'm putting the finishing touches on my Adventure People Rescue Copter and Safari Jim and Jody. I'll post those in this thread.

Blows my mind how you do this stuff so fast. It all looks great.

OB, you seriously need to keep going on these AP customs.

So many possibilities and they look exactly like they should done as ME...

man these are all so clean and expertly painted! I love the colors you chose for the chopper pilots, that metallic green visor sure pops!

great details all around. from construction to your set work it is all beyond catalog quality

They are all good but that copter set brings back so much nostalagia. I would buy that in a heart beat. That set is perfection.

_________________

Thanks guys. I had the Copter as too and it was used in many Joe missions mainly because I never had a Dragonfly, Skystriker or any other aircraft growing up. I'd like to continue making Adventure People between other projects. I'll probably make a few more characters from the figure sets, if for no other reason that they are useful as civilians.

yeah, the safari set is cool - though not necessarily exclusive to an Adventure People theme.

The copter set on the other hand, is perfect. Really hits the nail on the head with the look and feel of AP

These are all looking amazing. I have to say I tried your recommended spray paint and had some very promising results!

So now I've got to ask what type of paints you're using on top of that primer coat, the results here (especially that yellow) are incredible.

All of these are really well done, but those Adventure People hit a warm spot in my heart. Before I had Joes, I had those...and I loved 'em all.
