Hi guys this is my first custom and one of my favorite joes. Never had the Nightforce version but always liked it. I got the idea from a fellow member gunslingercbr. Mine isnt as good as his but I tried my best. I used Roadblock upper body and upper arms TF Flint lower arms and legs. I used my original Outback that I had as a kid and made a mold from it and cast a new head. Used a dremel to hollow out the inside to make it fit on the new style necks so it pops on and off just like the new heads. assembaled and painted used a mixture of acrylic and enamel paints because I didnt have them all in acrylic. Also was wondering if anybody else has had problems with the skin tone model master paint, it felt to thick and did not turn out as well as I would have liked but oh well let me know what you think. Thanks

thanks for the props, but you should feel good about your work. as long as you enjoy making the figure you can't go wrong.

I think your Outback kicks ass. Nice mold on the head too, I tend to just cust the heads off the old ones and drill 'em out to fit the new bodies.... Your way is much more Joe friendly

Great work! That head does pretty well. I've always had to thin the model master skin tone flesh paint with water. It's just too thick. Somebody on here mentioned thinning paints with Windex, but I haven't tried it yet.

Great Outback custom. For your first custom it turns out very smooth.
