Yes, I FINALLY got him.
This is just ONE version that I have planned. Pictures then words... Ahh. I was so happy to get this guy in my hands...so I could start cutting him up. First up was the removal of that harness. God that thing irritated me. Why can't Hasbro make web gear of any shape that FITS!? After that was modding the holster to fit the Marauder pistol that is MUCH better looking then the lump of plastic he came with. After that was accessories. I searched for the right bandoiler for him and settled on the Rahm Kota version. Not only does it match 80% of the pictures I found, the sheath on the back is MUCH better looking. I was lucky enough to get my order from Marauder Guns the same day, and was able to give him PROPER weapons. He has two Swat K sub machine guns, striker automatic pistol, Sig550 assault rifle, and a special forces machine gun. The 25th Anniversary GI Joe sword is temporary but is 100 times better than the toothpicks that accompanied him. Finally, was some touch up paint, the belt, the feet and the holster area. I'm 95% happy with this, and may go back and touch up a few more things. Version after this...unmasked! Questions, comments, gripes... Dre Last edited by DarthDre758; 03-12-2009 at 10:03 PM.. |

Mine is still in my P.O.L. so I don't know how the before looks to compare, but he looks good now.
I will probably use some of your ideas to improve mine when he comes in. Nice job.

Very nice. Looks a lot more like the current comic version. I've been wanting to remove the webgear mainly so I can outfit him with duffel bags and backpacks full of weaponry but am too afraid to cut mine up in case I never find another one.
Can't wait to see an unmasked version. |

I don't like that "Y" web gear either. I thought about cutting mine off, but I haven't created a suitable replacement yet.
Good job!

The sword is from a random 25th Joe ninja, I'm thinking V1 Storm Shadow. Thanks for all the great comments. Once I get the head I want for him I'll be starting on the second version. |

It seems we agree about his sh*tty gear.
But I hate the belt the colors suck. Yellow and brown are not a good choice. If you're gonna use it you might wanna matching the belt color with the rest of his gear. |

I was thinking of doing that on my next version. The color of the pouches on the belt didn't bother me much, but again, on my next version I may give them a quick dry brushing to bring out some detail.
