This Custom was an entry into TNI's "Ultimate G.I.Joe Fansite" competition. I would like to say Great job to the Koga Clan and Jedi Primus for some real good competition with thier custom they submitted as well. Captain Grid-Iron took this section of the competition...
HISSTANK Memebers, I proudly bring you, CAPTAIN GRID-IRON As much of a "hated" figure by the Joe community Can get, I never seen a Sunbow show, and all I have to go by is that my Buddys younger brother's storys of hoe "Capt Grid-Iron" was the coolest joe ever. I was "out" of joe then and he had a complete figure and I thought he was REAL cool. He was a Quarterback with Football grenades?? Sweet. He could hit a view port in a bunker at 80+ yards!! Body is Resolut Duke Legs, and Comic Pack Firefly Torso and arms,with a little sculpting to get Grid-Irons "collar", and original Grid-Iron head and equipment. His Original card clearly says he comes with a "machine gun" so I made an ammo box and ammo belt run through his MG. I custom Fabricated "football" style armor using a Jango-Fett armor, and my Vacu-form technique for the shoulders. Made a strap with metal buckels and string laces for that "football" look. The Armors Shouldr pads are connected with Rexlace so they are movable and allow full range of movement. I didnt like the Idea of football grenade just Danglin on his leg so I Made a peice of Styrene "armor" to hold them and contoured it to his leg. It is removable. The Belt is Roadblock VII and I added a second piece to hold his pistol in a scratch built holster. The Flak Jacket is scratch built with a technique I stumbled on to stop fabric from fraying. Rexlace and styrene make up Shoulder lapells, and snaps and buckels. The original Grid-Iron Helmet Was heavily modified to recess the visor into the helmet, and thin out the face gaurd. Custom G.I.JOE decals round it out. Last edited by SNAKE_EYES1975; 01-04-2011 at 01:09 PM.. |
