THE BUSHMEN

[Rick]

This is a revised re-post of a jungle team build that I was inspired to create from a team that PCS put together using the POC Jungle Duke as the base figure.

This was very fun as it was the first time I ever did a "Team Build"

 

[Rick]

The Team's leader

 

[Rick]

Born and raised in Alabama Catfish spent a lot of his youth in the mountains of DeKalb County, but also loved to spend time in the southern swamps hunting gators. With his diverse knowledge and experience in various terrain and climates Catfish has developed into one of the finest sniper scouts G.I. JOE has to offer. He has split his time with the Desert & Mountain Ambush squad Team Whiskey and the newly formed Bushmen who have been spending time in South America as Cobra has been secretly building relationships and staging posts for what has been revealed through Intel from the locals. All financed through the NWOA (New World Order Alliance) in what is expected to be an assault on the U.S.

Catfish loves his southern rock and will often be playing it on his headphones. He is a very aggressive person and considered the squads clown offering comic relief during stressful moments as nothing seems to phase him.

 

[Rick]

CIA Operative Pierce Donovan. Born in Dublin, Pierce grew up in an active IRA family. As a teenager he emigrated to the U.S. with his mother after his father was killed fighting for the cause. After watching his father make bombs growing up he took up the craft once he joined the Navy becoming an underwater demolition specialist as a SEAL. He was then recruited into the CIA specializing in covert demolition operations where he was vital in destroying hard to get at targets.

sweet team you got there. Why are they called bush men anyway? Is it because they sneak around in jungle bushes? do they never groom their downstairs portions? do they George bushes personal A-Team? perhaps all three?

Dusty is the newest member and struggles with the climate, but his assets are far to important and his membership was demanded by the others. He is often the butt of many practical jokes involving snakes and other jungle wildlife.

 

[Rick]

Good one Lancelot!!

yes a Jungle Spec Op Team. Groomed tight though and No not George Bushes A-Team. Just a Team Obama doesn't know about.

 

[Falcon C]

oh man, great stuff you have.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Man those are badass! Dusty is my fav

so they're mavericks who've gone rouge! or you could say they're Renegades. I really like how you've made good use of the POC Jungle Duke. I wonder if the same can be done with Dusty's desert outfit.

EDIT: I also noticed that you have a 50. Caliber on that Humvee. It annoys me to see the over-sized grenade launchers on the PTE humvees. Is that a PTE Humvee and if so how did you attach the 50 cal on there? was it as simple as taking a FOV 50 Cal and putting it in place of the TOW/Grenade Launcher?

 

[Rusforce]

I love it!!! Very serious teammates!

superb customs...............great bios too!

 

[xhairs]

great shots man.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

CATFIIIIIIISH!...lol, he's still my fave...though Dusty is an awesome addition...his coloring looks great, as does the helmet...

 

[darthdre758]

My favorite is Catfish, but that's because I did a custom that was very similar.

 

[Rick]

Thanks guys,

Darthedre I remember seeing that one of yours. We both saw the potential there. I'll have to repost his complete Custom figure thread.

You'll see him in alot of my dios as he's probably my 2nd favorite overall. He was in my banner entry. He is one of my characters that has different bodies for each enviroment.

 

[darthdre758]

I wanted to do something similar with him as well.

I never got around to repainting the beard like I wanted to though.

 

[Slaymaker]

these are great! Now I want to buy up more Jungle Dukes...to bad - all I have seen around here is Arctic Destros...

 

[Rick]

We joke about Arctic Destro warming pegs here all the time Bro. We feel your pain
