Hi all,
I'm new here to the forum and residing in Australia where Hasbro doesn't seem to be bringing in any Joes relating to the new movie... I've not seen any new Joe toys and the movie opens this week here :( I've been customising Transformers for a good couple of years and recently moved to collecting Joes (grew up on a staple of TFs and Joe cartoons)... I'm trying out some simple custom as the stock toy vehicles have so much potential. Was a very quiet Joe collector just doing my own thing here until a forumer here saw an auction of mine clearing off GI Joe parts and he (Thanks Judd) pointed me in this direction. I hope you like the simple customs I've done... very inspired by the level of customs here! Well, here goes... This is a custom Elite Ice Viper Arctic HISS tank. I kinda imagined that Destro was leading a small team of Ice Vipers there and thus he requested for this HISS tank to have the capability to split into a separate VTOL unit (if it got stuck on the ice) and a separate tank unit to divert the attention from the main unit he's in (in an escape scenario). Hope you guys like it |

Very impressive considering it is one of the hated colors to paint (white). Thanks for showing us your hard work!

This one is my very first GI Joe custom...
It's a simple custom to pimp up the ROC Hummer for Destro. Gold highlights, new stickers, more detail (reflective side mirrors, interior details, etc). It was a very well played toy that I got loose and complete off Ebay. Had to restore it... took time but was heaps of fun |

Thanks for the positive comments on the HISS tank... I'm trying my best to resist giving my customs a weathered look as I've got a habit of going overboard! LOL. Keeping it clean and simple
