One thing, OB: did you try to find or use a lens for your searchlight? that's about the only thing missing from the box art, and would totally sell it as a working light + mask the source piece more --

A simple piece of card bubble cut to fit would work well.

That's a good idea. I'll give it a try.

Tomorrow, we start a new group - Action Sailor.

And he looks smashing!

So when can we buy bags and bags of that head?

So far, this is my favorite thread of 2014.

Awesomeness day after day...

What will tomorrow bring?

Thanks guys.

For the head, you can contact Raginspoon directly. He has access to them ;-)

Two more figures tomorrow.

Oooooohhhh frogman!

That's a great piece, love the goggles.

Yay the frogman!
One of my favorite sets of the original series.

That jeep and trailer came out looking factory. I didn't even notice the Cobra combat ninja accessory part until I read it.

I want all of your sea men...wait..that's not...I meant, you know, your naval themed customs.

I built the 3 dios for this project on the cheap. Hopefully, it doesn't show too much. The water is dollar store (bright) blue cardboard with a coat of navy blue acrylic paint, followed by a coat of clear silicone that was spread out with a plastic spoon to give it texture. Up close, it's a little rough, but for pics, it works well I think.

You were one letter away...

I gotta admit I am very impressed with these customs.

I know you are posting at least one a day, but my question is how long have you been working on these customs already?

A started planning this in mid-August, so about 4 and a half months. I think it's the longest I've ever worked continuously on one project. All told, the 50th will have about 48 figures, 12 vehicles and three dios/environments :-)

That's a lot of customs, and you kept the quality up. Tremendous.
