No-Paint Military Kitbash

[PlastikAdiktion]

Hey, new to custom gi joe game and this forum. Like the realistic military vibe of the figures here. These are not customs but thought I'd share these. Simple and fun tweaks for my shelf.

There's nothing wrong with simple parts-swapping, especially when the results look this good.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Looks Good!

Like Fled said, simple tweaks to make already good looking figure even better is sweet!

 

[PlastikAdiktion]

thanks appreciated. Like the figures to look functional

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Nice...especially since if these were at retail, we'd like them just as much as Hasbros best more realistic efforts...too bad thatBeachhead wasn't single packed as he's pretty useful...

Welcome BTW

Excellent intro to the forum. Tweaks look great. Functional and realistic is what most members here try to achieve on their customs as well. You'll fit right in brother!

 

[PlastikAdiktion]

Thanks all, glad such a forum exists. I like this forum because of the attention to details. Practicing my customizing skills and some of the tutorials have been helpful. Looking forward to learn and share results

You're off to a good start, even if they are just swaps. If you like more realism, and functionality...

You'll do just fine here.

Nice work there.

The ever increasing wonderfulness of that 3-pack Beachhead.

Too bad that the Steel Brigade figures wore powder blue commando sweaters instead of looking like this! These are perfect!

Too bad that the Steel Brigade figures wore baby blue commando sweaters instead of looking like this! These are perfect!

More like "too bad Steel Brigade Delta was saddled with a vehicle".

 

[JMM82]

True, K-Tiger.

I like the Steel Brigade figures themselves except for the fact that their sweaters are powder blue. WTF was Hasbro thinking?! I can live with the khaki pants, but the tops should've been the same color as Beachhead's sweater.

I like to troop build, so I'm thinking that my new SB squad will be several of the 'Retaliation Ultimate Duke' figures with the helmet/mask configuration that he comes with.

customs or kit bash, make what you want with what you want.

Cohesive looking team.

Simple and excellent. Personally I wouldn't use the Retaliation Joe Trooper web gear but it works as a rudimentary place holder. I really wish I could get a hold on those boring Beach Head figures, or the factory switch green Ship Wrecks. I've got three or four Steel Brigade trooper vests for that.

Slaved to the ARAH design. They even released two versions, old school style.

I've got some green Shippys- you got anything to trade?
