25th 2002 Crimson Strike Team

[Wyo]

Hey guys. This week I had some time to make cards for a 25th 2002 Crimson Strike Team. I did not make the custom figures, just the cards. The figures are repaints of the originals, with some added detail. They all sport silver logos from cobrastickers.com (nice product by the way!)

The cardbacks are all uniform, with the only difference being the filecard. I felt that they should be the same, since they are from the same Convention set. I used the artwork from the Convention poster and modified it a bit. Anyway, here are the pics... Sam

[gunslingercbr]

freaking awesome as always, buddy!

[joss789]

That awesome! You realy an artist.
The 2002 con set always be my favourite.
It's great to see them in 25th style.

[A.V.A.C.]

nice looking figures, friggin' awesome job! how did you do the foil part of the cards?

[slowrey]

very nice great looking crew there

[Wyo]

Thanks guys! I had a lot of fun making them


how did you do the foil part of the cards?

Its chrome paper layered under photo paper. You have to cut out the text and trim on the top artwork layer, then glue the chrome paper under it. Basically the same as making any other custom card, just with the added step. Its defintely work intensive (especially if you mess up and have to start over!) but the end result is pretty nice!

[Viper6]

pretty nice? how modest...you friggn rock! selling those? pm me

[xhairs]

just awsome man. they look great.

[sharke]

[2pacnacho]

You did an amazing job on those figures. PM if you are selling them.

[COBRACOLLECTOR]

wow whut planet are you from ?

those are just perfection.

Great Work !

[arch2b]

i would army build that viper! great job!

[butter_the_pure]

Just from the pictures I was sold that Hasbro was making these, until I seen what other folks were saying about it being a customs. Jesus! These are perfect, the figures, the packaging, the whole thing!!! Can I have one? lol

[SnakeMoe]

that rocks nice

[topnotch97]

yeah. at first i thought something pre-Joecon or sdcc exclusives.... but when i read the page... it says customs....

i've been duped. LOL :D
they're not real.... LOL!!

[245am]

great job as always, now if we can only get a crimson strike team scalper fig, THAT would be an exclusive!

[ceraurus]

Those are terrific! Great work, as always.

[daremo]

Incredible work, Wyo. You've got mad skillz, dog! I thought they were some store exclusives until I read they were custom. Great job.

[snakeshadow]

I am amazed....I thought these were previews until I saw the word "custom"....damn fine work!

[TheTransTorture]

Beyond all awesomeness !

[Soundwave Viper]

What ever you do don't put those on Ebay ....

[vega-1]

I'm speechless BBB)TXX(XOT(VPP(

[Reznor]

wowzers!

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

sweet!

[Snow Job]

Those are full of badassery. I don't know if that's a word, but your customs should be full of it.

Hasbro should take heed, and make these! lol

[Bionic Commando]

Thats great stuff.I wish I can make customs like that.Its so flawless

[Wyo]

Thanks again guys. I really appreciate the feedback! You all rock! :) Sam

[popsicleviper]

LOL at first I thought these were coming from hasbro, they look so real...awesome job, they look great! (:

[Clicker]

Tight work. I like it.

[dawg99]

awesome job amazing i would definetly buy them

[Deefuzz]

Damn I was real excited there for a second.

Still, amazing job! I absolutely love it!

I would buy the hell out of those!

[amaro]

Wow, awesome craftsmanship!
Impressive.

[cmderinchief]

Wow! Fantastic work!! My favorite con set....but it was my first, so I am partial. Its a shame you can't do one from every set. Operation Anaconda may be the next easiest to do if not for Major Storm, the Swamp Viper and the Black Dragon Trooper.

[DOCHOLIDAY56]

Omfg!!!

These Are So Sweet!! Great Job!!
Btw Who Did The Customs And Do They Want To Do Some Commision Pieces??
Seriously!?

Next Thing----

Hasbro!! Hey Wake Up You Sleeping Giant

Wanna See Your Collector Community Go Freaking Nutso?

Wanna Make $20.00 +++++ Per Figure?

Make Another Crimson Strke Team Like These!!!

'nuff Said

Doc

[dealer]

Wow. Great work as always.

[BOMBSHELLMIKE]

Those are superb, as always. To bad Hasbro doesnt do T.V. shows like Hells Kitchen or The Apprentice, you'd prolly win!...Excellent job

[Duffmann]

Those are very done so well. No idea how you did it but man I want a set.

[hectorxd]

Very nice work. I opened hisstank and my eyes always go to the middle to see if their is some new news. I looked at the picture before the headline and saw the twins on card and thought, "Sweet"

You fooled me with them. Very nice job, I really would love to be able to do this with some of my customs.

[Wyo]

Thanks again guys. I want to do "how tos" for how I do both my vintage and 25th cards like I promised before ( but now Im worried about it since Hasbro is being lame about making custom cards) Ive tried to lace my posts with hints on how I make these cards. Hardest part is learning photoshop...the physical proccess is much less time consuming...however, it is VERY, VERY tedious. Anyway, I will continue to give hints as I post my cards.

I want to see more custom card makers. Its actually ALOT of fun and very rewarding. Its addicting too! Sam

[nyb3017]

Wyo, your skills are fast becoming an art form. I think these are some of your finest and would look great in the stores. I can see it now....Target Exclusive Crimson Strike Team!

[Valguerra]

They look great. I was wondering could you have done the red, blue stripe and the star in chrome? Found red chrome paper and blue chrome paper.

[Elite Force Cobra]

super sick with it set!

[Wyo]

They look great. I was wondering could you have done the red, blue stripe and the star in chrome? Found red chrome paper and blue chrome paper.

Yeah, it could be done. You would just have to piece together the red and blue chome paper underneath the top layer that holds the artwork. I never thought of doing that, I bet it would look great!
