I'm really hitting days when a lot of my projects finally come to fruition, aren't I?
Had this Iron Grenadier finished for a good while, actually... just forgot to photograph him and show him off.
Basically adding painted details to the 30th Anniversary Iron Grenadier after donating his gear to Repeater and Night Adder.
I hate hate hate hate the 25th Anniversary Cobra Trooper torso. It's a horrible piece. Just horrible. Ultimately I had to cover it all up with accessories to use it as something. Thanks to Raginspoon's casts, Medi-Viper ended up being a nice thing to make from it.
Head: Desert Hazmat Cobra Trooper
Torso, arms: Winter Ops Scrap-Iron
Legs: Ninja Battles Storm Shadow
Helmet, chest armor, belt: Raginspoon casts
While searching for potential bases for my Big Brawler customs, I suddenly realized how perfect Joe Colton's body was as a base for Outback. I also had a Thor head that worked great for the character. Just had to add a few touches here and there to make the body look more like Outback. Kinda wish I had the skills to sculpt a headband and add SURVIVAL to his shirt, just to complete the oldschool-ness.
I wanted a nice bulky base for Gung-Ho (having previously used Bench-Press's body that then went to be Big Brawler's body), but at the same time one that didn't match Roadblock figures in height. Crossbones from the Captain America line, as it turns out, worked very nicely in that regard. He's a bit broad-shouldered but otherwise it works very nicely.
I get a nice GI Joe vs Cobra vibe from this figure... Although I wish I'd been able to find the Comic Pack repaint that had a more varied deco, but it fetches higher prices. Did luck out and get this loose single-carded one for less than 9$ shipped, though.
Thanks for looking!
