I'm sure when it's all done it'll be worthy of being front paged.
I've been pushing for Zulu's to get front paged when he's done.

Yeah, Zulu certainly deserves it. It's a heck of a lot of work.
Marine Deadpool and I have been talking about Low-Light pretty extensively, and he's hoping to have some pics by next week. We're working on making him look like a Delta Operator. I've given him some general ideas, and I'm excited to see what he comes up with.

Troynos, who makes the decisions about who gets front paged? Who is in charge of that? Is it a vote among the moderators or do Destro and C.I.A.D. just decide?
Also, I posted a pic of Marine Deadpool's Claymore a page or so back. I'm really interested to hear what y'all think. Please be honest. I'm open to hearing criticisms or perceived shortcomings.

I'm loving that team Oliver. Falcon looks great and Big Brawler may be my favorite. I didn't know how great a clutch head looks for the original Big Brawler. I wish I had an extra.
I can't say I'm loving the Claymore though. I think the head is great for Magnum, but since you also have the Magnum figure with the same Star wars head and Sculpty mustache they look too similar. I Love Claymore's body. that is fantastic. I wonder if a Biggs Darklighter head would work better for Claymore, since it doesn't have the curly hair. Getting the Star Wars heads to fit is something I can't do though. Do you have new ranks for your ODA team? Just curious. I figure Magnum isn't really part of the team or is he? I got the Snarler Beach and he's great, but I still can't replace the first one we got. I don't even like the Comic pack one. But now I find I can't find enough heads to replace these guys with. I started working on a non-dive suit SEAL team with just strickly head swaps. So I'm buying up Shipwrecks and then swapping out the heads. I also used Reactive Armor for some as well, but I might change that out. But So far I was able to add Depth Charge (Just used an extra Zartan disguise head. I swapped out one to make Sure-Fire) And Deep Six, (red head green shirt with a Pit Commando boony hat. I put a Steeler head on City Strike Duke added the boony hat and made myself a Wet-Suit too. |

Well, I hear what you and Zulu are saying about the head I used for Claymore; I will simply have to respectfully disagree. ;)
Zulu brought this up in the other thread. He said he didn't like the head either, but it was Zulu who inspired me to use it. You know how he uses celebrity heads for his file card project. Well, I thought about what I though Claymore would look like. Who would play Claymore in my G.I. Joe dream move? It took less than a second to answer - Tom Selleck... at the age he was when he played Magnum. Mr. Selleck's ancestry even seems to correlate to Claymore's. So I hear what you're saying about it looking too similar to Magnum. Well, they won't really be working together. Magnum will be heading up Naval Special Operations. He may coordinate with the ODA Team occasionally, but he won't be there all the time. Besides, the original Claymore used to look a LOT like Footloose. ;) So the Rank system for the ODA Team will be pretty much what we've talked about on this thread. In all honesty, the ODA Team was directly inspired by the file card thread. I took what we talked about, emailed Marine Deadpool, and explained what I wanted to do. He's been really accommodating. I'd be interested to see how your customs look. They sound great; got any pics?

Yeah I don't have my camera with me. The wife has it and she's on travel. Maybe I can take a losey camera phone pic.
So what is your rank system? I mean like this: (0-4) Claymore (0-3) Falcon (CW-3) Flint (E-9) Duke (E-9) Stalker (E-8) Drop Zone (E-8) Big Brawler (E-8) Snake-Eyes (E-7) Beachhead (E-7) Recondo (E-7) Outback (E-7) Lowlight (E-6?) Sgt Stone (E-5) Kamakura I haven't seen a Drop-Zone I just threw him in there. Weren't you talking about Big Ben too? Who am I missing? Ripcord? Spirit? Recoil? Pathfinder? Muskrat? |

So what modern-era/RoC parts would work well for customing a vintage Repeater ? Gung-Ho's hat is the only one I can think of similar to Repeater's but would it fit well on another head sculpt? What about the torso? Any suggestions?

You might consider using RoC Zartan's head - the one that's supposed to be a disguise. That hat is much more like an Army issue "soft cover", which Repeater would have worn. He was a Ranger, not a Marine. The head itself, with a hair repaint, would work pretty well. Just a suggestion. Hope it helps.
