Scope by W.O. leroy

[W.O. leroy]

Me and the aussie blokes over on the Tank had a little contest to see who could come up with the best original Australian Gi Joe. It ended in a three way tie and mine was one of the winners. Here is a link to check out the other competators: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-contests/150836-2nd-aussie-custom-comp.html

Here's Scope.

Part of the contest was we had to make a file card for our custom. I tried to do the Australian SAS symbol on his beret, it's not perfect but it'll do in a pinch. I also gave him some added neck articulation so he can go prone.

Looks bloody good if you ask me.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Great Job!!

You should have won

 

[xhairs]

very cool

Nice Custom! You don't have to share the title for best Aussie Joe over here (that is unless Fled produces something at least)...

Refreshing custom and character. I like him and he does have that Aussie smirk. Nice details with the pack sack thing for the shotgun.

So that's how it's gonna be, eh?

 

[Slaymaker]

Nice work! I like the fact he can lay down and still look like he can see what he is shooting at! Where is the rifle from?

 

[K-Tiger]

Looks like PTE.

 

[The Ewokhunter]

to be a TRUE Aussie trooper, needs to have a ripped crotch

J/K looks great.

Nothing like a little local rivalry to spice things up! I bet you could generate a sweet Aussie Joe custom if you worked at it...

KT, I had no idea you had an interest in building an Aussie Joe. This could get good...

 

[K-Tiger]

Why not, could be a nice change of pace.

 

[Midget]

You're going to need a FAL

 

[K-Tiger]

I've got 2.

 

[thecorporation]

how did you get his head to do that? Tutorial please.

 

[K-Tiger]

That's no big secret, you just take plastic out of the head until you get the range of motion you want or screw up and go too far.

I always screw up & go too far - that's why I have a lawyer on retainer - back 2 the subject @ hand...

W.O. - super great job on this guy... & U should've won...

 

[Fled74]

I'm gonna need a 1/18 Steyr AUG to modify.

Marauder.

First off, thanks everyone.

I got the rifle from Broken Arrow but I think it is a sculpt of spy troops Barrel Roll. I was going to use the AUG because it's more Australian but I wanted to try doing the neck thing so making him a sniper made more sense. Got it in one K-Tiger, I probably could have gone a little more but I didn't want to push it.
