    The Punisher

    Another piece that sort of just came together after seeing this picture: He was a pretty straight forward build and everything else was built and painted by hand. The slings were hella fun! Recipe: Head: Ret. Firefly Body: 50th 2pk Snake-eyes Accessories Vest: Ren. COBRA Trooper w/...

    Funskool Skydiver

    So I started this custom was back in the spring of last year. However, the terrible quality that is tamiya red paint made me so angry I tossed him in the Fodder box. Well time and such finally finished off the devil paint and so with the purchase of a new pot of model masters red I finished...

    Zombie Cobra Commander

    Made this after finding one of the Zombie 2 packs a couple weeks ago. I think he turned out nicely! Recipe: Head - 50th Zombie Viper with hollowed out 50th CC faceplate Body, right arm, and left leg - 50th CC Left arm and Right Leg - 50th Zombie Viper Accs: 50th CC I'll post a...

    SDCC Scarlett mods

    So, I've been dabbling with my SDCC Scarlett figure to fix the terrible choice of head and harness of this figure. The body is one of the best scarlett figures to be released in a good while. However, the fact that they saddled her with the dated 25th head and harness was inexcusable, so I did a...

    Gambit

    Over the past few months Ive been in a creative slump. Nothing has really motivated me to work on a custom piece, and Ive only cranked out a few since I moved to Virginia last summer. Its kind of sucked really. That being said I believe the dust has beeen knocked off because I really felt...

    Rogue Sith G'aim Qon

    I recently decided I would make an original SW character to use up some odds and ends parts. He was a fun build seeing that I did a leg splice for the first time to give the figure more poseability. Bio: G'aim Qon is a master of the Sith, however he is not one who follows Sith traditions to...

    Cobra Eel Trainee

    This was a custom I've had sitting for a while. I finally got around to painting modifying accessories and hitting up a waterslide decal. Outside of just treating the figure and dull coating the blue, thus bad boy was pretty straight forward. I've got a basic cobra diver figure coming to...

    Female Tele-Viper

    I got a few kits from angelforge a while back and finally got around to finishing up one of them. I have 0 modern televipers, and thus I decided to make one. The female TV kit is very nice and I recommend it. My only complaint is that the upper torso is very wide when viewed from the side and...

    50th Duke

    I wanted to do a nice upgrade of Duke to fit in with the 50th line, so I took a little inspiration from some customs I had seen by Marine-73 and Ozzie92 to name a few. From there it was just a matter of making things fit and painting him up! This figure was fun to make and came together nicely...

    Alan " Dutch" Schaefer - Predator

    So this was originally to be an entry into the 3rd quarter contest over at OG13, but some parts did not arrive in time. Thus he was entered into the 4th quarter contest and I luckily took home the prize! He was a simple build and most of the work came from the paint apps and the knife sheath...

    Joel from The Last of Us

    So, I had this guy pieced together for a LONG time, and finally came across the parts to finish him up. The Last of Us is a pretty awesome and gritty game, and the characters look like theyve been drug through everything. I mean they have to go up against Zombies created by a crazy fungus. It is...

    50th Storm Shadow fixes

    I finally got around to finishing this guy. I have had this figure sorted and ready for months, but I was just too lazy to finish some of the smaller bits of finishing to call him complete. Finally, however, I have. I decided to actually tie my own Alpine harness using book binding thread...

    Short Track and Swampsmasher ATV

    My second entry into Allstars was built off of a project that I started a solid 4 years ago. I took a beater Swampsmasher and Ferret and combined them into a vehicle that looks a bit more sensible...or as sensible as a GIGANTIC gun on a 4-wheeler can look! Before I submitted it, I thought it...

    50th Cutter

    So I made this for the GI Joe ALL Stars project that Icecreamman put on at multiple forums. I made the waterslides for it myself. They have some issues, but for a first go Im pretty happy with them. Next time Ill have to adjust resolution and color levels so that they do not fade or lose...

    50th Bazooka Trooper

    SO this is just a quick fix custom Ive wanted to do for a good while now. Thanks to DW and nabbing a few 25th 'Zook troops off of him, I was able to make one with an extra 50th Trooper. Also, some may like to point out that the namesake is incorrect due to the use of an RPG as opposed to a...

    Lowlight - Taskforce LBC

    So I am about to move and as such dont have a ton of time to make customs right now. On the other hand I had to play around with my Marauder's Taskforce figure that I got yesterday via the kickstarter campaign. Its just an LBC, but I really dig it and those Taskforce figs are the shit!! I wish I...

    Daina

    Part 2 of the commissions that I was asked to do. Daina seems to be the goto Oktober Guard figure to make since the 50th LJ came out. All things considered the figure was a simple paint job. The only big customization of the original came from modifying the hat into the cliche russian fur cap...

    The Sarge...slightly more accurate

    So All of the customs of the Sarge make him insanely buff. Dude was the round mound of pound, to repurpose Sir Charles' nickname, in his wrestling heyday. That being said, and this has been a long time coming, I decided to make one that was a bit more accurate body-wise. Big thanks to Ian for...

    Desert Trooper: Dusty

    So after thinking long and hard about what to call this fellow, I figured I would just name him after my FAVORITE joe, Dusty. Im a touch of a purist when it comes to dusty and if the figure doesnt meet certain criteria it will not be considered Dusty to me. These i will not really delve into...

    V.3 Gen. Hawk updated
