Hi all G.I. Joe FANS !! :)

Let me start with the presentation of my first 2 Customs


They present a new vision of my favorite old figures - Road Pig and Range Viper

I was looking for them so long, that I decided to do this by myself :)

Created by:

Range Viper:

- Head for the old figure from 1990
- The whole body of the Cobra Viper YOJOE.COM | COBRA Viper (http://www.yojoe.com/action/08/viper18.shtml)
- Accessories as above

Road Pig:

- Head from the old figure from 1988
- Accessories from the old figure from 1988

body:

- Torso and upper part of the legs: Dreadnok Torch YOJOE.COM | Dreadnok Torch (http://www.yojoe.com/action/08/torch3.shtml)
- Hands and lower part of the legs: Road Block v20 YOJOE.COM | Roadblock (http://www.yojoe.com/action/10/roadblock20.shtml)


Both models are painted by me from the beginning.

Feel free to watch and comment :)

Your sincerely!

Really like the pics, the dirt effect and blood on the RV shoes are awesome.

You are off to a great start! I like the grittier look for Road Pig. Good use of the original head, too!

Do you get a lot of GI Joe stuff in Poland?

Unfortunately, not much. We only had a few waves of ROC at the retail. The only sources for us are ebay, online stores and other tankers. Hopefully, will get some stuff next year with the new movie.

To complete Memphis's post: we are up on modern Joe figures, but usually get them with 1-2 month delay. Hasbro.pl doesn't sell or supply any shop in Poland. Few shops still have RoC figures only common ones. We never had Kamakura nor Night Adder and others from 4th and 5th wave. US collectors are lucky they can easily buy a joe :). Last time, beside RoC, when we could buy Joes in shop was early 90's - ARAH 1987-94.

The customs - as I said at our forum: great job! Next person who has time and talent. Wish to see much more!

Welcome to this crazy hobby that will take over your life.

For first time customs, they look great. Better than my first customs.
