Yep, that’s a good one, for sure.

Cheers man. I thought for some reason it came with ROC Pit Commando. I had to check then realised it was Beachhead. Thanks. Cheers dude. Thanks man, truth is my brush skills are lacking. It's been nigh on 10 years since I posted a custom on here or even made one for real. I didn't prep this one as I should have, a rush job if you will!!! haha

On second thought, I'll just drop it here.
I wanted to really embrace the idea of both creating and naming my own, so being mildly narcissistic, I decided to make myself a Cobra. Outside of "break it, paint it, reassemble", I made a removable helmet out of a 25th IG head and Blowtorch mask, and "sculpted" the trooper a head of head black hair and gave him a split eyebrow... it's kinda weird to see my own likeness in a figure, now that I've done it, I don't think I like it This parts list is not what I'd ideally have gone with, but the parts I was after fell through, so I had to cannibalize the figures I had on hand. head:25th trooper head upper torso/upper arms, helmet:25th/50th IG Forearms: ROC Repeater Lower torso, upper legs: ROC City Strike Snake Eyes Lower legs/ boots: 25th Hiss Driver Needless to say, I've learned a LOT about joint modding. It seems nothing is a perfect fit right out of the box with ME Joes. PS: Being my first, compliments are definitely appreciated... but criticism is more valuable. Don't be a buncha softies, help me improve.

Don't be a buncha softies, help me improve. You can see where you wanted to go with your ideas. To critique, I’d say take your envisioned design and bring to life the finest details. This is what makes them shine. Silver buckles, worn colored harnesses, things like that. Like I stated , I can see your imagination in what you were going for, which all comes with a great amount of trial, error and failure. That’s when your learn the most about your customizing skill. Through the failure.

He looks great, Sataninjaku! The only criticism I could provide is the mixture of 25th and ME parts (which makes me cringe a bit and is probably why your joints didn’t fit too well)

Nice one Satan. You're certainly correct in saying that a lot of unseen work goes into getting things to fit when you originally think they will fit together without any problem. If I was to say anything critique wise ( who am I to even critique anyone anyway ) I'm never a fan of hefty web gear, even on factory figures!! I feel sometimes it's just too bulky. It's really more of a personal preference than a critique so please don't let that detract from your work. You should be proud. Great work!!

What an awesome turn out for the first week of Project Quarantine!!!
I’ve been saving my comments until the end but I wanted to say I’m very impressed with all the submissions. @Ax - thanks so much brother for all the help organizing the threads and supporting the idea. Great custom also with an awesome helmet combo I would have never considered but it works well. @yeet - dude you know I’m a Marauder guys so I love the build. Also, kudos for having the right weapon too. @Ian - fantastic work as always! Super clean smooth paint job combined with a unique build. Definitely a show stealer for me. Also, I want to know more about airbrushing now. @playful & Ozzie- spot on recreations of the original. If I ever wanted to do an accurate update, this is the idea I’m going with. The problem for me is which webgear do I want because they both came out great. @zbs - another accurate build and unique helmet choice. It honestly inspired me to look at the helmet and see another custom I want to do in the near future. *hint - he wears a suit in the water. @slice - beautiful vibrant colors and very creative build. I am a huge fan of this one and he looks like a badass on the battlefield. Also, the hint of yellow in the knees was a great addition to even out the colors. @arbco avenue - cool custom that I definitely see as a driver. If your plan was to create their driver, you absolutely nailed it. I could see him driving the Create-a-Cobra and TARGAT on a mission right now. @sauza - similar to the other that went this route, very accurate update and came out great. Very respectable custom to have in any collection. @89pilot - man I’m loving this build and it looks great! I know you weren’t able to get the blue paint before you posted but it’s only going to make this figure that much better. @sataninjaku - holy shit for a guy who says he hasn’t done a custom in years, you absolutely went balls deep into this project and I think it paid off! Your paint job is very clean and I can’t tell if you airbrushed or hand painted. Picking all those parts to mash up is not an easy job and this is one to be proud of. Great job man! Can’t wait to see you all in the Super Trooper build next week.
