I don't post pics too often, but I wanted to share some hopefully unique ideas I've had lately, and then I realized I hadn't posted most of my other customs on display in my office. The future Mrs. is out of town, so what better way to spend a Friday night than posting on the 'tank?!?
Photography isn't my strong suit, so hang in there with me. Most are LBC/Kitbashes. I will try to mention when I added paint, and the recipe if I think it isn't easy to determine. Ask if you need recipes for anything else. These first 3 are not set in stone yet. Been working on them the last two days. Gonna make a few tweaks to them at some point. Red Dog/Battle Kata Roadblock combo (calling him Hightower at the moment), Topside, unnamed sailor. Had to trim Red Dog's arms to fit BKR's elbows, but they fit great. BKR's hands fit in Red Dog's wrists no problem. Could be a snugger fit, but definetly worth it for the added articulation. Neck is a descent match in skin tone. Head fits well. Comparison pic of Red Dog, BKRB, and regular RB below, for reference. Elbows don't line up well with any of them, unfortunately, so no easy swaps. Topside - 5 pack greenshirt blonde trooper head, ROC Pit Commando helmet, MU Punisher gun (last release), DG Shipwreck body, ROC Hawk shoulder Holster. Sailor is DG Shipwreck, 7pack Low Light head, and regular Low Light vest (grays almost perfect match, hat is a bit bluer than body). Arctic Joes x2, Frostbite (past & present target snowjob body, Tomahawk head, unknown POC goggles, MU Luke Cage hat, cut Cobra Wolf? fur from VvV figure's cape)., Shipwreck, Covergirl (Zanya pelvis and legs, Ren Scarlett torso, someone's hands, Indy jacket/arms, and Phoenix head, but probably going to change that at some point. Lady Jaye belt). Spearhead, 4 random desert Joes (props to Sgt Humpty for painting the Tunnel Rat head for me as part of a trade. It's based off what he did for his Night Fox, but I'm using it as a unique character STILL to be named). Bazooka, unnamed trail cutter, Flint, and jungle Beachhead (not sure if I like him for BH, anymore. may swap head. POC Jungle Duke arms & gear, POC Skydive body, Res BH head). Flint is Commando Snake Eyes upper torso and arms, and 30th Stalker lower torso and legs. Put some paint in the neck, and black paint or lower torso to hide the stomach mismatch better. Outback (DTC Spirit belt, ROC hawk arms, POC Duke jungle torso and legs, 25th Outback head and vest), Footloose, Falcon (painted hat), Lift Ticket (25th LT head and vest & helmet, POC Tomahawk arms, ROC Target Grand Slam core and legs, armor painted black). Slaughter (comic pack Crossbones vest/body, DTC SAW Viper gun, Ture Heroes knife, BnB Slaughter head), Ripcord (7pack BBQ body -check pouches painted, Ren Rip gear - painted, AOCI Altitude head), Chief Torpedo, Toll Booth (Res BH body, dog tags, Kickstart vest, POC hawk helmet, SW battlepack rebel fleet trooper head - hollowed). Baroness, Destro, Interrogator, Scrap Iron

Cool kitbashes! That Red Dog head is crazily underrated, as is the RoC Destro body.
