Guys - Kindly let me know if there are any parts or accessories that you are looking for. Odds are that I probably have it in my fodder stock. Thanks.

Pluv, is it possible to extend the deadline for a two or more weeks? That most awesome Custom Celebration is sucking up a lot of customizing time!

Not that I really mind customizing ofcourse, but I want to do all the best for the WWC and I certainly want to participate in some of the CC7 events as well.......

Chad, are we going for the first pose or the second?
I've been looking for suitable guns for SS. Sub Zero's is just a little bit oversized. Big Ben's has already been used by your brother. How about Marauder's M16? Very recognizable for veterans, I think.

We never set an actual hard date. March was more of a soft deadline. Consider it extended till May. Again, not a hard deadline but it gives us something to work towards.

Maybe an A team machine gun. The gun is a little out of scale to the joe figure, but the gun is also a little outof scale to the real gun in the picture, so it might work.

If needed, I have many - PM me and I will send.

Either would work, though I think the second might be easier for RAH figs. And Raptor may be on to something using the A-Team M60.

Good suggestion. I believe I have one of those too, I'll check my weapon fodder. Thanks for thinking along with us!

Will adjust the limbs for a more accurate pose. Upper arms will get some extra treatment to hide the cracks.

Decided not to position the gun arm backwards too much, looked very unnatural.

Is that an Outback hair with a Tunnel Rat head?

Nice work. Nice idea too. Could you share with us what problems did you face when making that new "head"?

I did

After cutting the hair/bandana off of each, I sanded each side flat, glued, and filled the seam with putty. The lines matched quite well.

Thank you Chad. This is something new to me and I am thinking what heads could I mix for new customs now. Thx again.
