Two SRT members:
Bullhorn & Barricade Design notes: - Bullhorn is a pretty straightforward reinterpretation. For me, he's one of the best designed post-1988 characters, so I didn't mess around with his look all that much. Just updated his get-up, dressing him in a contemporary PCU in the classic toy colours and fitting him with a Ranger "H" harness. - Barricade, on the other hand, is another one of the characters whom I monkeyed around a bit with design-wise. Like Bulletproof and Longarm, Barricade is another 1992/1993 Joe character who shares a name (and has some degree of functional similarity) with a Hasbro C.O.P.S. 'n' Crooks character. In terms of what I'm trying to recontextualize the character as, the 1989 C.O.P.S. 'n' Crooks design works better than the 1992 GI Joe figure as a basis for a real-world motivated design. (L) 1989 Barricade C.O.P.S. 'n' Crooks toy; (R) 1992 Barricade GI Joe figure As always, their full filecards can be read by clicking on the Filecard Project link in my signature.

Great updates, zulu. Bullhorn looks fantastic. I like how you worked that face paint in as well. Barricade looks right at home, especially when viewed next to the image you did of Shockwave. I was kind of hoping for a battering ram, though. Only Surefire, Law and Mace are left for that part of the team. You know, when you initially stated you wanted to be done by the end of July, I thought "there's no way he's gonna be able to keep that kind of pace". You look to be on track (and that's with revisions, no less).

I thought about giving him a battering ram, but balked at the last second, the reason being that I didn't want any confusion as to the tactical breacher role on the team (which I'd already given to Barbecue). |

Great job once again zulu on Barricade and Bullhorn! These two have both been captured nicely and have the realistic look that we would likely see in today's military!

Bullhorn looks great. Very nice work on both of 'em.
I agree, Bullhorn is one of the few great designed characters from that later era.

NIce work Zulu. Bullhorn is true to form, and Barricade is a great realistic update plus now he's a Marine!

So how many (and who) did you make over into Marines? I know you had Muskrat at one point, but switched him back to the Rangers.
Who is left to do?

As for who's left to do at this point, there's about 28 or so. At the rate of two a day, I'm pretty confident that I can finish this whole thing by the end of July. After which it'll be off to making a reference bible for the Cobras and Action Force. |

I remember Long-Range and Blizzard but I don't know if you pulled them back out. Recondo? |
