My first, and probably only, vehicle I'll ever do. I just don't get the same artistic satisfaction from doing a vehicle as a do in creating a figure. I guess it's because it's a machine and it really never feels like your "bringing it to life" by giving it character and emotion. Still, I think it looks pretty damn cool. The trailer is a scratch build (sorry no WIPs) and the boat is a cheapo Joe knockoff I bought at Big Lots. Enjoy!

The great thing about the GI Joe 50th anniversary packs is that you basically get a free Beachhead figure in every Cobra army builder pack you buy. So Here's my favorite Army Ranger, in a realistic military colors paint scheme, two ways. The unmasked version is inspired by the Sideshow collectables Beachead figure. Enjoy!
This is my second version of this character, again in SEAL gear. This figure, like Topside, is made with Joe parts bashed with a BBI figure torso. He has full articulation, but no waist or mid torso articulation. I find most Joes don't even really need this POA, because most of the time movement is hindered by their gear anyway. He still achieves superb pose-ability. Enjoy!
This is the Tony Stark fig that came with the "Hall of Armor" set. It's a Joe based kitbash, and it was one of two reasons why I bought the set in the first place (the other being the Mark 42 armor figure). Poor old Tony got the short end of the stick paint ops-wise. This figure was pretty bad out of the package, a mishap this is becoming all too common these days for Hasbro products. This isn't really a custom figure per se, but just a paint op re-detail. I repainted the pupils, which originally were pointing in opposite directions, filled in the hairline all the way to bottom of the hair sculpt, lined the beard properly, and gave the skin tones a nice wash to bring out the details in the facial sculpt. Enjoy!
He's a Navy man, So I made him a SEAL. This figure is constructed using Joe parts, but with a BBI figure torso. Topside sports full articulation with the exception of a waist or mid-torso joint (so he can't twist his body side to side). The head sculpt is made from a Lift-Ticket figure with a sculpted beard. Enjoy!
