[The Commander]

Sounds fun, too bad i only have 1 anniversary fig (not counting my two SDCC Destros).

[Shogi]

Gah! I should have told my Girlfriend to pick up an extra Joe 5 pack yesterday when she found them. Now I have to hunt for new joes to cut up :)

[Buzzbeak]

I have an idea for one to do, but I don’t know how I would make one of the changes I would need to make to do it.

You guys are SOL now Buzzbeak is doing a Custom.

[Buzzbeak]

But I have never done a custom out side of 40k.

Do you have your control panel set to allow you to see everything when you click on "reply to thread" rather than use the quick reply feature? If not, LMK and I'll fix it ;)

I was able to post them in the customs section of the forum with no problem so I assume my control panels are set correctly, but I'm pretty bad at this kind of thing so I could be screwing up somehow. Thanks for your patience.

So I just finished 4 customs (I think this is the most I've ever done at the same time :) )

Who better to start off a gallery of my customs than a Cobra Mechanic:

I like them all but I’m loving Breaker. How did you do the shirt around the neck?

Breaker turned out to be one of my favs :) He's the easiest. I just used Snake Eyes body, Duke's head and Gung-Ho's lower arms. The only modification I did other than painting was the mic on the helmet. The shirt and everything is already there, making it really easy to make the original 13 :)

[Buzzbeak]

Change his helmet call him Clutch and it's a two for one. :)

[miked]

Posted this guy in the custom forum already, but wanted to enter him in the contest here. I hope these links work. I've never had to do this before.

[Shin Densetsu]

These figures are looking really good folks! Keep up the good work, you guys are talented customizers!

[C.I.A.D.]

I couldn't agree more, Shin. The figures posted so far are each excellent in their own way!

[Spirit-Iron_Lun]

Breaker and Scarface look fantastic

Keep up the good work Tankers

[Buzzbeak]

What brand of paint/ color do you use for skin? Citadel (the paint I use to use all the time) changed there flesh tones and I don’t really like the new ones.

[Shogi]

All I had was a flat light tan and light brown from Testors, so I did a coat of light tan then did a wash of light brown

[Buzzbeak]

It looks like it works, I'll look for them today thanks.

[Shogi]

Here's another: Dial Tone V3 It's a bit of a re-imaging, he's gotten rid of the nerdy look

[Buzzbeak]

Cool, he just needs some radio gear.

Dose any one use any sort of mat finish or anything on there customs? I’m nearly done with one but the paint is rather fragile and starts rubbing off with handling (I’m using Tamiya Color. It covers well but doesn’t dry vary hard). I have had problems with sprays in the past so I’m looking for a good one.

[DESTRO]

Only 1 week left guys just a heads up.

That custom of Billy is EXCELLENT! Great work man!

[Prince Adam]

Thank You! Billy is on a Snake Eyes body with a Star Wars head. I wasn't sure if a recipe was part of the crteria so I added one.

[Prince Adam]

Anoter Billy. This one's more Storm Shadow's apprentice than the first one I did. SS v2 with another Star Wars head. He has an interchangeable lower right leg.
