    Dusty by ShipShape1983

    Lets get this out of the way. I totally ripped this idea from a tanker named Letal...his custom can be seen here. Dusty & Sandstorm custom - HissTank.com Now, being the stickler that I am for details.... I tried to put my own spin on things. Didn't really feel like painting and paint...

    Cobra Roddy Piper head cast?

    Does anyone cast the Roddy Piper head that came on that O-ring figure from a few years back? I'm working on a Flash Gordon figure and I think that head looks a lot like Sam Jones. Does anyone know how it compares size wise to modern bodies?

    Sgt Slaughter Updated. by ShipShape1983

    Sgt Slaughter was one of my favorite Joes as a kid. It was the Sarge who helped me get into Joes. I did a custom a few years ago, my second custom Joe ever actually. And for the time, it sufficed because of the parts available back than. Kind of a "best at the time" scenario. and here he...

    Mack Bolan aka The Executioner by ShipShape1983

    I'd always been a big fan of pulpy tough guy characters. So when I found out my favorite Marvel hero The Punisher was in fact a rip on some guy called The Executioner... well... I had to see for myself whats up. I found myself an old OLD copy of the first novel by Don Pendleton titled War...

    Shrink Casting. Does anyone here do it?

    I'm experimenting with casting for the first time. Just simple stuff using mold putty to make the mold and then casting in resin. I'd like to shrink cast a head sculpt, but not really sure where to start or what to use. Does anyone here know how to shrink cast? and can make me a mold...

    Lt Falcon

    I think I'm one of the few guys who kind of liked the sculpt for 25th Falcon's head. I always thought that it wasnt a bad sculpt. Maybe a new paint job..or at least a slightly altered paint job might help. I replaced the lower arms with Cobra Flint's like a lot of other guys have done...

    Budo the GI Joe samurai

    One of my many favorite characters. I tried to keep Budo as close in design to his original figure yet modernized a little. Because of the utilization of Resolute Stalker's legs, and Thor upper arms. I was able to keep the look and also keep a wide range of movement by keeping paint to a...

    Wildcard

    I loved Wildcard in the comics, a big ol goofball who accidentally breaks or wrecks everything he touches. When I saw the MU Absorbing Man, I got some ideas, here is the result of ideas coming together. WILDCARD! and here he is, fighting the Wrecker Viper...

    Ninja Force Storm Shadow

    This project started out simple enough....It was just supposed to be some minor tweaks to kick it up a notch. Like adding the Ninja Ku backpack to bring some gold to the DG Storm Shadow to call on the memory of the original O Ring figure. But once I started.....SS kinda just took off! More...

    Footloose by ShipShape1983

    Though I love the way the club's Footloose turned out, there's no way I could ever afford one. I like many, chose to make my own using the TRU Pit trooper from the Attack on the Pit giftset. The head is from my first Major Altitude custom figure. I had made a new Major Altitude so that...

    Big Boa by ShipShape1983

    One of the things I truly love about GI Joe are the bizarro ideas thats come out of the line over the years. Big Boa, is by far one of the best of this. I didnt care for the Club's Boa figure, though it is nice...I felt it wasnt big enough. but I loved the gear...

    The Cobra Overlord!

    The Cobra Overlord was my first Cobra figure as a child, he'll always hold a place in my heart even though he's overlooked throughout most of Joe history. I set about creating a proper Overlord figure that would do him justice, I mean....he tried to kick the Commander out of his high chair...
