Hmmmmmm
Lady Jaye is a Warrant Officer and Flint is Captain??? Very interesting! These two are actually my two favorite Joes. So I always love seeing some Lady Jaye and Flint customs.
You stated, "The Pit and TOC have many more characters, but the HHFF series will focus on these guys." I'm not sure what this means. Are you talking about some kind of dio-story (photonovel) series? [side note, I think it's interesting Star Wars fans call these "photonovels," while GI Joe fans call them "dio-stories."] If so, I definitely need to check these out!
Now a few comments/questions about the customs:
Lady Jaye:
First hats off on painting that Lady Jaye head! I got so frustrated trying to paint those eyes, that I took out my Dremel and reenacted a scene from "Faceoff." Second, I like that you swapped out the forearms. Besides the added wrist articulation, the forearms look a little beefier than the 25th arms.
Hawk:
I am totally digging this custom! First, I love that Pit Trooper body and paint app. The camo pattern on the figure reminds me something you might see in the Marvel comics or Sunbow cartoons. Your Hawk definitely has that "old warhorse" look to him. You can easily distinguish which character is the senior/veteran member of the team. You mention that Hawk is the one who "juggles" with the higher-ups; DUDE, if you are working on a dio-story, we've got to compare notes! We are on the same page with so many Joe characters.
So, 1. what head sculpt is that?! You've just about got me convinced to paint my Hawk's hair white - that looks so BA! 2. I see you swapped out the forearms. Are they from Gung-Ho or Kwinn? They look much better than the Pit Trooper arms.
Flint:
My favorite Joe! I love this custom. Matter of fact, I've got one finished very similar to this that I haven't posted yet - again, we are on the same page with so many Joe characters. The ribbed shirt reminds me of Renegades Flint. And that harness is super cool. So, 1. how did you make the harness, and 2. Is that a POC Stalker figure or did you custom paint the camo pants?
Duke:
I like what you did with the subtle changes to the hair. This helps distinguish Duke from Hawk (something lacking in both the comics and the original MASS Device mini-series - come one! Duke's face looks like Hawk from the Marvel cartoon commercials!).
With you mentioning "in my series" it really makes me think you've got some kind of dio-story building up - I hope so. I'd like to see what kind of work you would do on dioramas and vehicles.
Jason
