Beachhead is one of my favorite Joes. He was always on my assault team as a kid. The mask made him a peer to Snake Eyes and Shockwave so the three often were the ones sneaking into the Cobra base while the other Joes assaulted the front.
I've been working on a modern version for a while. I couldn't make my mind up on what paint scheme to give him. I have not been able to successfully paint camo yet so that was out of the question. I considered a desert theme to fit into the modern theater of war but alas settled on a hybrid approach. This theme is inspired by the Sideshow Beachhead and also by the Night Force figures. I think it fits with my "assault" team memories as well.
I modified his torso to create more freedom for the arms using Obi's tutorial. I love how he can hold his rifle up to his face now.
