This is my 1st time postin' customs here @ JoeCustoms - This is my 3rd & latest G.I. Joe Renegades custom (I did a Duke & a TunnelRat) - this is MY interpretation/version/vision of a grittier, more "real-world" style... Ol' SE is ready 4 paint @ this stage & I plan on goin' w/ a flat black on the "cloth" areas - drybrushed w/ some flat grays & then the armored pieces will get a military desert combonation of flat tan, khaki & brown, lastly the packs will get a leatherish treatment on top of flat black belts & webgear... The most challengin' part of this build was my choice of lower legs - the upper joint was donated from a CaptainAmerica fig that had pirate/corsair/pussNboots/3musketeer??? style boots grafted onto the full-calf lumberjack style boots from another CaptainAmerica fig (that had NO foot articulation) - shallow dremelling @ the tops & bottoms w/ RoC HeavyDuty feet added... LMK what U guys think... THNX 4 lookin'!!!

P.S. I should also add, that this originally began as a "hooded" SE Zombie Apocalypse custom - so I KNOW he's carryin' a TON of load-out gear... I don't feel I tipped the scales on it tho - This is also my 1st attempt @ a SE custom & the ONLY complete SE fig I now have...

I feel like he could use some pouches, or something. He just doesn't have any place to carry anything. ;-)

I think he's gonna look badass, once he's painted. Definitely looks like he's ready to throw down with anyone, or anything that's foolish enough to get in his way.

Looks cool but all of the weapons on the figure reminds me of that guy from "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka" :)

Holy crap, I can't wait to see the finished custom!! This is off to an amazing start. I love how many random combinations of gear and parts you've put together. 8-O

Bad ass take on Sgt Lee, I really dig how damn tough he looks. Awesome use of [The Corps] Rain's head, that's appropriate.

First off, that looks like it will be awesome when it's done. Second, WHERE ARE THOSE TEC-9s FROM? I've been looking for those in joe scale for ever.

Captain America movie line Crossbones figure. They were in black with the Comic Pack version of the character and in OD green with the single carded version. Fortunately, other than the funky hips, Crossbones is great generic beefy military guy fodder.

Nice design, I like it. To me, it doesn't so much replace the normal TR as it shows him after years of service, hard-nosed and cussing about still have to climb into tunnels.

That is how I saw this too. A GRizzled Tunnel Rat if you will.
