Vitruvianpro's G.I. Joe customs

[Vitruvianpro]

I posted some of my Cobra guys in a thread earlier today, but I'm already craving more attention...now I know why women post pics of themselves nekkid. Attention feels good. In Lieu of my nekkid pics, which I am fairly convinced no one would ever want, here's some joes:

Look good.

[dpstro]

Great work on all of these. Finally a Tripwire that ain't no punk! Would love to get my hands on that Falcon!

[carver]

I keep thinking I've had my fill of Wild Bill, but if I saw yours at retail I'd trip over myself to buy it.

[M_renegade]

WOW!
You've just kicked a lot of a$$!

I...I can't even pick favourites, love them all!

.

[lowlight27]

Definitely an awesome job!

[IIIzoeIII]

some of these are pretty darn cool too

[heymilt]

No offense but these are probably way better than your nekkid pics. So good call.
Some very neat fixes & glorious paintwork, awesome work there.
I loves me a good wash too!
I kinda do the same thing, upgrade/fix my figures so I can really appreciate seeing this. Nice collection you have there!

[TR1ER]

Really digging your work man good stuff.

[thealleyviper]

I'm sure these are better than your nekkidness running rampant on the 'Tank. Fantastic job! They all look great!

[meandnooneelse]

WHOA! Your paint apps are absolutely spectacular!!!!! Every one of these is a home run but I think Jinx is the best. The parts choices really make her modern looking. Bravo to you! Nice work all the way around.

[PA1911]

Fantastic takes on so many characters. I think Mercer sticks out as a favorite for me but I'll need to go through them all again (and again).

Awesome paintwork all 'round.

[Maestro]

There are some AWESOME customizers here, but these are some of the best I've seen. Great paint apps man.

[UMAN]

Excellent work on all of them!

[Widowmaker]

Supreme paint apps , Man Hasbro could learn a thing or two from you :)

[Coil Member]

I didn't think those head sculpts could look that good! Great Paint jobs. I've got some custom parts that need paining. What brands do you use?

[Computron34]

These are some of the sharpest customs I've seen. Very cool stuff.

[Vitruvianpro]

I didn't think those head sculpts could look that good! Great Paint jobs. I've got some custom parts that need paining. What brands do you use?

I use Model Masters Acrylics almost exclusively. For shiny metal parts I use gundam paint markers, but spill some of the paint out and still use a brush.

Thank you all for the great comments, I appreciate it. It may be a while before I post new stuff because my next project is an ARAH old school G.I. Joe HQ I just picked up from the flea market. That sucker is going to take me a long time.

[niknak96]

Great work! I really like the war paint on Spirit.

[CyberJerry]

These are really good! It's amazing what paint can do. You are really good at painting and the parts choices are awesome as well. I'm gonna put these up with Wry1 on the paint apps

[80sKid]

Fantastic work! I'd love to have all of these.

[greyfus]

who would've ever thought a renegades scarlett would make such an awesome jinx

[OG13]

that spirit is beyond awesome

[sithewok]

Wow. This is some amazing work! Love love that tripwire!

[Stryker927]

Great work, I love some of the approaches you took and designs.

[Villainous]

Wow great job on all of them I love te work on Tripwire and rock and roll Mercer looks awesome as well good stuff man!

[fireflyguy]

Wow! Really nice paint on all of them! I really like Falcon, Rock n' Roll, Tripwire and Mercer.

[jumbokarakuchi]

badass jinx

[Jefehawk]

Very cool....r and r is sweet.... Awesome...you selling?

[kingphilbert]

These are great. I especially like the color palette on them, and seeing them altogether you can see how cohesive the set is. I love the creativity used in crafting Falcon, Wild Bill, and Rock & Roll.

[Vitruvianpro]

Very cool....r and r is sweet.... Awesome...you selling?

Man, I can't understand where customizers who sell get the time to do all their stuff...these suckers take forever for me to do and I don't get to do it as much as I like. I have about 50 joes all lined up ready for paint jobs and I get to do maybe one every week or two. If I'm going to spend 4-14 hours on a 7 dollar toy, that sucker is going in my display cabinet till I'm dead.

[lance858a]

I thought they each deserved their own thread. You could've stretch out the attention getting! Like, times a billion!!!!

Seriously though, very nice body of work. And eventually, everyone sells. You just won't have room for all of them unless you shove some into a drawer where they won't see the light of day for years. Better to sell them to someone who will display them.

At least, thats how I justify abandoning some of my old customs. It's all I can do to keep from crying...

[Conway]

Holy shit. There's too much awesome in one thread. Each of these does deserve its own thread. Fantastic work.

[kevuno]

Your detailing is great!

[The Muppet Slapper]

These are awesome, great job.

[TENIME_art]

Fantastic.

[nighthawk]

Wow! Thanks for sharing.

[Vance1714]

I think YOU sir need to work for Hasbro! AMAZING work on these. Trip Wire, Flint, Beachhead and Scarlett are my faves. Nice work man.

[Jinx723]

Spirit

Now this is a Spirit I would love to see on the pegs.
Great work done.
