    Data Viper = S.H.A.R.C.

    You'll find that plausibility has no place in my world. :) When we were kids, my friend would complain that the Havoc was just inviting its driver to get shot. My response: "Whatever, man, thing looks cool."

    Philip Marlowe, Private Investigator.

    Man... the craft behind this is obviously unimpeachable, and speaking as someone who doesn't paint or sculpt or do much of anything but pop Figure A's head onto Figure B's body, I can't tell you how humbling it is to see work like this. ...but even more than that, I am in love with this because...

    Cobra-LA Royal Guard by TheVP

    Retconning Cobra Commander's origin was lame, but Cobra-La was pure pulpy fun. I'd kill for badass modern updates of all three original figures. Your custom is awesome!

    Thanks, everybody!

    Data Viper = S.H.A.R.C.

    When my Data Viper isn't wearing the crazy bigass armor, this is what he looks like: That's a trimmed Resolute Zartan armor, which I also used for my original character, Green Screen: Bathing in the Glow of Tommyknocker Green by Geek Creek, on Flickr Green Means Go by Geek Creek, on...

    Geek Creek Kitbashes: Maps & Machetes

    Thank you, Keenan, MMorelock66 and The Willoughbian! He is roughly sixteen inches tall at his tallest point. Be careful if you're thinking of getting one, though, 'cause there is also a much smaller one; pay attention to the description in any auctions you pursue. Also, I am putting...

    Geek Creek Kitbashes: Maps & Machetes

    And these are the last for now; by focusing only on my Adventure Team characters, I hope to keep this thread somewhat more streamlined than its predecessor at the HISS Tank forum, which is currently 80-some pages long. Rick Brant: New Recruit by Geek Creek, on Flickr And if you'll...

    Geek Creek Kitbashes: Maps & Machetes

    Assorted members of the cast of Maps and Machetes... or those that qualify as LBCs/kitbashes, anyway: John Rawlins, an adventurer in the 1940s who stumbles upon an alien staff that gives him strange armor and superhuman strength, after which he becomes known as John Ra...

    Geek Creek Kitbashes: Maps & Machetes

    This here is Badlands, who is every bit as much the star of my Adventure Team universe as William Winchester: This guy started as a Sigma 6 custom my friend Bill put together: Bill lurks on the Joe Battlelines forums, and he is an active force on at least one MiniMates forum, as well...

    Geek Creek Kitbashes: Maps & Machetes

    Thanks for the welcome, everybody! The ending kind of fizzled out a bit for me and felt rather contrived, but yeah, Planetary is the great superhero comic of the century so far, along with Promethea (and the aforementioned League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, although I don't tend to think of...

    Mr. Black's Works In Progress

    Man alive, I envy people who can sculpt. This is some stellar work, man. I took a sculpting class in college back in the 1400s, and I was pretty good at it for a novice; my sculpture of Uncle Sam from the Steve Darnall/Alex Ross comic was featured in Toyfare. With no access to an oven...

    Geek Creek Kitbashes: Maps & Machetes

    For those who haven't seen it before, this is Schleich's Animal Nursery. I added the props and furniture, but the actual house is not modified in any way. Here are some earlier photos of the decorations and whatnot: Thanks again to my fellow Adventure Team...

    Before I start sharing photos of the other "stars" of my Adventure Team universe, I'll show off their top-secret headquarters: Adventure Team Headquarters by Geek Creek, on Flickr

    Geek Creek Kitbashes: Maps & Machetes

    There are a number of characters I return to again and again in my photos, including some, like G.I. Joe Renegades Tunnel Rat and Pursuit of Cobra Recondo, that I have not customized in any way. But if I had to select the "star" of my collection and my photos and the vague fictional universe...

    Geek Creek Kitbashes: Maps & Machetes

    Until four or five years ago, I had little grasp of the history of the G.I. Joe brand before 1982. I was aware that Hasbro had created G.I. Joe as a series of twelve-inch military-themed figures back in the late '60s, but when the Sigma 6 series spun off into a sub-series called Adventure Team...
