Joe Troopers

[Crusader]

Had to get rid of the silly arrangement of 6 shooters attached to the back of the pack. I mean really what is that? Is this trooper carrying the gun chest around for everyone to grab from?

Let me know what you think?

[Dod Ear]

Awesome! The customs are very impressive and your photography puts them over the top. Well done.

[MonkeyBoyZ]

So cool. I like the custom work and dio! Most excellent!

[Marine-73]

totally and completly EPIC!!! love the dio, the paint aps are clean, makes me want to hunt down 5 tan variant joe troopers, or at least 3 more blue and paint them all, great job man.

[Beckley]

They look amazing well done.
I only picked up one of these guys but I'm glad I did.

[Slaymaker]

great stuff, buddy!

[Crusader]

Thanks Slay, and thanks to everyone else too.

[SDawg]

Very Very very Nice !!!

[Sithcobra]

well done indeed

[rcjunkie]

Very cool!

[sgcaper]

The figures are great. The backgrounds are phenomenal. Wish I had more than 2 of the troopers.

[Wry1]

awesome work man, your figs are excellent, but the dio just puts it over the top.

[fireflyguy]

These look great! You took something good and made it better!

[ChadVamp]

How did you get the holsters off the packs? I had the same thought but wasn't sure till I saw your examples.

[Crusader]

Pliers. Just twist and pull gently

[CrimsonGuard101]

they look really COOL! aside form the fact they all look worn out to hell carrying all that gear lol :)

[CG23]

Very cool, nice work!

[Sithcobra]

just wish i could see the pictures better :/

[Sithcobra]

These look great! You took something good and made it better!
i agree-duke,both troopers and ss are among my fav from the line..cc being number one-note duke trashed head and used body as a trooper-avoiding the whole "you like tatum DIE FA....."

[Riotheory]

I didn't think the Troopers could get much cooler, but I was wrong. Awesome work.

[Jones boys]

Where is the pickup truck from? How about some of the dio stuff, like the bricks & tree??? I think the light post is from a set I have but te other stuff doesn't look familiar?

[Slaymaker]

just wish i could see the pictures better :/

click on them...

[heymilt]

I'm DLAI.

Drooling like an idiot.

Hi Rick, good to see you here!

[Sithcobra]

click on them...

wish i would have thought about that..everytime i click on pictures a black screen pops up and the pictures never show up..lol

[NAJA EMPIRE]

very well done!!!

dunno how good he is but ppl really good at photo editing can do amazing stuff a friend here-not joe stuff but stuff like tf- take real life pictures and mix with toys

[Sithcobra]

very well done!!!

and to you friend lol nice army you got there..but about the troopers dio some ppl are just that good at -and have alot of time-to make stuff like that

[Sithcobra]

and i must say one more thing lol the rhino looks 100% better done up like that than the one i have that much blue doesn't work

[pyro678]

Now those are some bad ass troopers. Good head choices too.

[IIIzoeIII]

tight the are all very uniform

[Stuart_Selkirk]

Awesome.
I dig your modifications.
As nice as the stock figure is, the guy doesn't carry mags for his primary weapon and 4 handguns on his yukon pack make no sense either. Neither does the totem-pole for the gasmask.
You solved the main issues nicely.

[Flint-wo2]

Awesome.

[ziarenek]

Holy shit...holy shit! I did not like this figure but thanks to your pics i'll have to buy a squad of 3-5 now... Thanks Crusader

[Crusader]

Thanks guys. Some pieces I've purchased at my local hobby store and some I make from scratch.

No photoshop with me except if I turn black and white. I don't know how to use it. Silly I know. So what you see is what it is. I have a dio table down in the basement.

[SIC DETH]

Dope customs, Stage, and Photos!!! R.W. FTW!!!

[memphis01]

Awesome customs and great dio, you have some great skills sir. Once movie figs come back on shelves I need to buy few myself. can you post some more pics with rhino?

[punchitchewy80]

woah awesome pics and touch ups on the figures. my only gripes about those joes are the odd backpacks and the gasmasks dont fit very well you sorted the backpack problem extremley stylishly and that dio...awesome, im inspired. thanks for sharing.

[Snake Master]

Wow! Amazing paint and dry brushing! Love the shots. Now this is what Joes should look like. These photos are magazine quality! Give me an idea of what you charge for paint commissions? I'm looking to do a bunch of joes and cobra for display in my work studio.

[brock Samson]

Did you use the hot water method to remove the pistol holsters from the backpacks? Could you post pictures of the plug ends of those holsters? I'm thinking of removing them and adding them to legs but not sure how they fit on.

[Angry.Android]

Customs look good. Im not a big fan of the figure though, mostly because the legs are too long. The torso is the tried and true shocktrooper, and the arms are pretty boss. I think what really puts your post over the top is the photography and staging...very very cool.

[Crusader]

Thanks guys.

Punchitchewy thanks for the comments. For all the faults there are alot of pluses. Very poseable and the cuff closure can be painted to resemble specop wrist Comm. (I interviewed for a company that makes them for specops if you haven't seen one. Square to Rectanglular and bulky, reads pulse, send messages, video and gps and so much more). Very cool

[Tanksmasher]

Wow, love em all, and great photos.

[Crusader]

thanks for the compliment, never commissioned before, but have been putting something in place to eventually do that. Thanks for the vote of confidence and kick in the ass to do it. Let me think about it.

[THE PUNISHER]

Holy shit, these are cool, good job

[nighthawk]

Nice!

[GeneralxRon]

Good work Rick..you should post more here than Joedios

[Storm]

Awesome work man. You made a bunch of great joe troopers. Also very good job with the dios and pics!!

[Crusader]

Good work Rick..you should post more here than Joedios

Thanks for the kind words.

I plan too, but there's some cool cats over there and they helped me learn a thing or two.

[Obi-Shinobi]

Hey R ... I really wanna come over and play, you dig?

You know I love your work, bro.

[Crusader]

Yeah Yeah! Show Hasbro a thing or two. LOL

My local Hobbyshop does war gaming on these huge tables with 1/72 stuff. Would love to do something like that 1:18

[Obi-Shinobi]

It's been done. Slayercon2 tested a zombie game - awesome. Although Fogger might tell you otherwise. " 3 turns and I'm dead?"

[GAAWAY]

Buddy, these are really great. I love the individuality in a team concept. You really pulled it off.
