Here's my take on modernizing Tracker, the often forgotten Navy Seal on the Joe team. For those who don't know who he is, here's Yojoe's entry:
TRACKER (v1), YOJOE.COM | YoJoe.com: Dedicated to the G.I.Joe of the 80's, 90's and beyond! I didn't want him to have a red shirt so I gave him a red vest so, he can swap out his vest if he needs to be not so visible and the tan legs are better than bright yellow I think. I treat him as the SDV pilot, hence why he can get away with a red vest. The Blowtorch head has the same smirk as the vintage one so I thought it was the perfect head for Tracker. If I find smaller letters, I'll put his name on his back like the vintage one.

Nice job.
I have an unfinished custom of Tracker that I've been trying to come up with the right legs for. I think you might have just answered that question. Mine keeps the classic red shirt though- I was inspired by one of the characters from the game SOCOM: US Navy Seals II. I'm using the torso and arms from the v2 Cyber Viper and the alternate head from Zartan v20. |

Very nice.
Tracker, according to his filecard, is a bad-ass but was one of those whose figures dropped the ball.

Excellently done. Tracker was always a favorite of mine as a child. Im sure most of it had to do with the raft and his visor. I wonder if the club would ever remake him ? Probably have to lose the raft but if they tool up the visor I'd be sold

I like it!
The bare arms would have made him look more classical, but i know you do mostly kitbashes, and this works fine anyways. The numbers on the back are a great touch! I've done a very different Tracker (almost 100% accurate, but using modern parts), and used Renegade's Ripcord visor, which looks very similar to te original version. Might want to try them, since the color more or less match the tan pants, and wouldn't look so Viperish Also used a backpack from a 30th Steel Brigade, it works as a rolled up raft, and has the shovel! (The green matches the green shirt of your torso, so it wouldn't look out of place in yours)
