Here's one that I've had posted on my facebook page for awhile, but hadn't posted a "finished" thread for yet, b/c I was considering doing some other things w/the custom, but decided against any changes.
So, here's my take on an updated Capt. Grid-Iron utilizing real-world military colors and gear. I opted out of giving him probably his most distinguishing feature, the face mask. Instead of a visor, I gave him goggles, and instead of yellow pants I went with a desert tiger stripe design. This ultimately led me to just painting him in desert themed fatigues. I did keep his green vest and helmet though, along with his gaiters. Overall, I'm happy with how he turned out, and for me, there's enough features (albeit updated a bit) from the original design that he works as Capt. Grid-Iron for me. *He's currently up on eBay right now along w/all of my previous customs, which can be viewed in my profile page's album, and some that I've yet to post on here*: http://www.ebay.com/itm/G-I-Joe-Cust...item2ec10f49ac *You can check out all of my custom auctions here*: http://www.ebay.com/sch/omnislashv5/...p2047675.l2562 Head: Slayer Sculpt by Krexx Torso: 30th Stalker/Steel Brigade Trooper Upper Legs: 25th Beachhead Lower Legs: Resolute Snake Eyes Helmet: POC Dusty Vest: 30th Steel Brigade Last edited by Cloud Strife; 08-18-2012 at 08:25 PM.. |

OH, WOW!!!
This is just fantastic at every level. It's a modern/practical update, but it pays homage to the original and is unique enough to stand on its own. Just couldn't be any better. I really, really like this. I would totally buy this figure. In fact, if it's for sale, please PM me... or if you could make me one, please PM me.
