MAD MAX! custom 25th GI Joe by Gundamben831

Gundamben831 · 01-20-2009, 02:10 AM

I've been delayin putting up these pics but here he is. My only problem I really have trouble painting eyes so I know his eyes arn't perfect but I tried my best.

some work in progress shots
so the work I did to make this figure wasn't too much but the hardest part was trying to make the knee brace and shoulder armor. I first started by shaving the cobra marks off his legs to make them more like pants and then cut off the knife and glued it to his boot, then with the shoulder armor its basically one of the twins modded with some plastic cut out to resemble his coat or jacket. overall I had fun making this figure being he is one of my all time favorite movies to watch. any ways I hope you all enjoy him

Very nice. Where'd that knee brace come from?

cool!

I did see that but I wasn't sure. I've never seen mad max, so I'm glad you provided the picture. Does the "brace" allow for movement?

Dude, That's like 10 different kinds of awesome

yeah there is a break point where the brace goes under the rings so it looks attached but you can bend the knee's
