My first custom: G.I.Joe Colton

[galen]

This is my first custom. I used the Tiger force Flint for it and used acrylic paint and hand painted everything after separating all the parts. Hope it looks good! My next project will be my version of the Pimp Daddy Destro. Thanks for looking!

[Cobra88]

[COBRACOLLECTOR]

Nice job

i like the paint alot

[daremo]

I like the green, but is it glossy or just the camera? Good first custom.

[Acrizer]

I like it :) I think you've inspired me to make one.

[barbecue]

Your first custom figure is excellent! I like it. Keep making them.

[Deckard]

nice work. I made one of these myself..but I used SRO hawks body and Falcons head with a set of web gear that comes with Se Stalker etc... Like how well you got the goatee going on man....I'm nervous about trying that on mine.

I used a mixture of green acrylics and finished them off with a very thin coat of acrylic matte coat. Thanks for looking.

I wish I had a better camera and lighting for this. Next time I'll do better

It looks cool he reminds me of big boss in a way.

By the way who is Joe Colton.
People talk about him constantly but I have no idea who he is.

And is that the camera making it shine like that? Daremo asked that and I'm still curious to know the answer

[galen]

Joseph Colton is the one with the codename G.I.Joe, a green beret of the special forces who was said to have been appointed by JFK to assemble the best fighting force.

The camera makes the figure look shiny. too bad. he looks all oily. Any camera tips to make it look better?

Thanks

[Captain Carstein]

He looks great man! Look forward to seeing your future projects.

The figure was from the concept of Joseph B. Colton(green beret of the special forces) when he was still a Lt.(circa 1964). He was the appointed by JFK to create the ultimate freedom force. I think he is one of the top ranks that hand picks the G.I.Joe team.

Gen. Joseph B. Colton Code name: G.I.Joe (Joe Colton)

Yeah, the lighting and camara I have are all low tech. Any camera tips to make it better? all I have is a 6.0MP Kodak Digital and a flourescent bulb as a spot light.

Thanks

Yea im not familiar with this guy but the custom looks really good.

[G.I.Eddie]

looks really cool...manly!

[galen]

I will be posting my new custom of destro! I borrowed a better camera for that! Yo Joe!

[KALASH69]

Awesome custom, I can't believe some people dont know who Colton is, as they are on a Joe forum.

Ironic.

[MTN]

makes me want to make one, nice job!

[galen]

Any advise to improve the look? Should I put tiger stripes?

[Troynos]

What's that around the neck? Is it supposed to be a bandanda? Blows the whole thing off for me.

Other then that, it looks awesome.

Hard to believe that people don't know who Colton is. Didn't they read the comics (either Marvel or DDP run)? Only place Colton was never mentioned was the cartoons.

[galen]

The thing around the neck is a scarf worn by green beret, i'm making a mold right now from the scarf worn by falcon. hope it would look better. Thanks Troynos
