It's been a while since I've made/posted a custom. There was a contest recently on a Dutch G.I.Joe site, so that pushed me to pick up my paint brushes again!

Recipe (this actually is from my Secret Santa 2021 gift, Santa composed it all together)
Head: Bazooka '93
Torso: Shipwreck '94
Arms: Steam-Roller '87
Waist: Roadblock '02
Legs: Roadblock '02

Backpack: Big Bear '92
Weapon: Marauder Inc



It was actually a little strange to work on this custom. I mean, I did have an idea how I wanted it to look but I had a hard time deciding what his code name would be and how the bio would sound like for his filecard. At first I thought he'd be a nice Claymore V2, something that's been on my to-do list for a couple of years now. Then again, it would make a nice Muskrat as well. In the end I turned it into an original character named Hammock.
As for the bio, I believe I see him as a Navy Seal in his jungle outfit.
One thing that I'm still doubting are the arms: should I add some camo stripes on his arms like Arnie in "Commando", or just leave it this way. I just don't know......

i really dig the camo pattern!

so is his code name the hammock you use as an outdoor bed? i do like it as a last name like sgt. hammock.

That paint job is fantastic! Complicated camo patterns at this scale often feels too busy to me, but this strikes the perfect balance. You've also done a great job of pulling out the sculpted details. Always happy to see a new original character, but my first thought on seeing him was the unproduced Battle Corps Footloose.

Thanks!
Yes, it´s Hammock from the hanging bed.



Thank you, Kowalski!
Wow, now that I´m seeing that picture it indeed does look like BC Footloose. Coincidence though, it wasn´t my intention.

Really nice camo!
