Thanks man. I bought the torso not knowing it would be that color green when I did so; when it arrived it decided the color reminded me of Dialtone, and the Endor Rebel arms are some of my favorite long sleeves out there. The Snake-Eyes legs fit the character (at least IMHO), and the rest is history.

How dare you tease us with all these awesome customs we can’t add to our collections? All kidding aside this new batch came out outstanding! Newt’s my favorite, keep up the great work.
Glad you like the figures. I hope to keep making you not like me, more and more! 😏
(Thanks for the comments.)

Yeah, I wanted the vest to look different than the PoC Beachhead/Steel Brigade Delta, and after a few adjustments that is what I came up with... Not too shabby, eh?!?!!!

Thanks, man. Dialtone and Newt seem to be getting the most love!

I really like Newt! He reminds me of a "contractor." However, Dial-Tone is an amazing modern update to the figure. Did you have to mod the arm socket to make the Star Wars arms work with that torso? I have 3 or 4 of those Endor Troopers I've kept as fodder. I've thought seriously about using the legs and arms with some Joe customs.

Jason, the advice I would give is to take your time and keep your hand as steady as possible! Sometimes you may have to paint and repaint areas, especially around straps and areas where flesh and clothing meet (i.e.: the neckline). I would also suggest using "dusting" the figure with a drybrush, with a tiny amount of paint to help fix "happy little mistakes" (to borrow a phrase from the Master Painter, Bob Ross!)...
Thanks to all who've stopped to look at this thread. It is for you to enjoy and occasionally borrow ideas and inspiration from!
