Hello guys thanks for your comments. I will post one more now however I cannot take the full credit because I simply copy it from a fellow customizer. I found on his website and love it. I added some details of my own, new waist and belt. The rest was pretty much a copy.

I wanted to do an Alley Viper long ago since he is one of my favorite figures. I loved what Alyosha did in some of his Alley Viper work. I bough the head, helmet, shield and gun from him and used the entire body of the Firefly, except upper arms and this was the result. I'm not entirely glad with it because I had problem with my flat black so I had to use the normal black. Also the blue I managed to grab is not the one I wanted although you won't notice because the pics show a much lighter blue, just like the one I wanted. Other than that I just love the combination blue/gray. Hope ou enjoy him too.

Hi saw these customs at joecustoms and decided to give it a try with my own touch.

This is the last addition to the GI Joe divers team. He is also the driver of my Typhoon.

I saw the Shipwreck filecard from the cobra mountain version. In that filecard there is a artwork from shipwreck dressed as Cobra Commander. I thought this is the way Cobra Commander should look in battle not with that army uniform which doesn't supply him any protection or agility.

This is the result I used a CC head, Scorpion's torso and waist, upper arms from spytroops Destro, lower arms from a claws and some BAT legs. Added a holster for a pistol.

One more custom this weekend. This Artic SE uses body, waist and legs from a blizzard.

Enjoy

This is a version of Destro that represents more it's General suit. For vvv hasbro tried something but somehow made a bad work specially in the legs in my opinion.

Enjoy!

This is my first Night Force element maybe I will do a couple more since I don't have any figure for the team. Gave me an animal pet (I'm a big fan of figures with animal buddies) and called him Nemo. This cat is very well detailed as all the animals in this Japanese small animals brand. I will give him another or second weapon from Marauder when they arrive but for now thats all.

Enjoy!

Darkmetal is a spy that sneaks behind joe lines. He lost one of his arms during one operation.

Enjoy!

My version of the well known Spearhead & Max. Used modern parts and gave him a more real camouflage. For Max I used this figure from an animal toy line named PAPO.

Enjoy!!

The way VvV Storm Shadow should have been. I always loved the detail in the original VvV SS, the clothes and dragon symbols even the cobra symbol on the mask but I hated that small head with only holes for each eye instead of a mask like this open from eye to eye. So I decided to use Legions SS which for me as an awesome head

25th Legions head is just great the head is the same has v1 but with the cobra symbol on the mask. Had to use some putty to fill the big hole in his head and then used the cutted-out neck of the VvV SS.

Enjoy!!

One more this weekend used GTC helmet. Rest is Red Spot.

Enjoy!!

Finally finished my Beachhead. Everyone thinks and so do I that VvV Beachhead always head a small head. The new 25th Beachhead was a very cool surprise however it had a one problem those arms were just to thin to me as so I decided to make my own Beachhead.

Enjoy!!

Head: 25th Beachhead moded using putty and a Gung-Ho neck
Torso: Torch moded
Upper arms: VvV Beachhead
Lower Arms: Cross-Air
Waist: Cross-Air
Legs: Cross-Air
Gear: 25th Beachhead moded

Here is more custom of the line "VvV the way it should have been" ahaha

I never had a Serpentor when I was a kid. Specially because I never thought he was a cool figure (go figure). When Hannibal came out I loved the helmet and always thought it would look a cool Serpentor. I was pretty happy with the 25th version but that head yak. So I decided to make my own Serpentor using I must say some inspiration in other Serpy customs I saw.

Enjoy!!
