Thank You Lord for allowing and enabling me to do this.
These two had some similarities, aside from the greenstuffing needs which are not unusual for characters in this mask project: -they both needed gloves and I ended up cutting joe arms, attaching a peg to keep the articulation, and using different star wars gloves -they both have stripes down the arms -they both have a mask which I altered Since many of these mask helmets were designed to extend from the shoulders up, I tried to keep from "pushing" them too far up by using green stuff instead of removable accessories on the shoulders, and trying to do the green stuff thin. However, there were 3 or 4 masks I just couldn't seem to get to sit low enough. Two of them were Brad's and Dusty's. I cut Brad's in half horizontally, removed a layer, and put it back together with green stuff filling gaps. Dusty's I enlarged the view shield with green stuff so it would line up with his eyes better (the vintage one also did not line up with the eyes). Also, this project is primarily based on the cartoon version of the characters, but I decided to include pics of the vintage figs with them anyways.

You Sir, are the MASTER! I love the M.A.S.K. line and really wish HASBRO would either do a run or introduce more into the GI JOE line as they did with Matt Tracker.
I've been wanting to try some MASK custom's myself and yours are the GOLD I shall strive for! On a "info sharing note", I contacting the dudes from Angel Forge way back in January and at that time they stated they would be releasing some MASK - MASKS for us customizers in late February but that time has come and gone. I'd encourage everyone to email them and make some MASK requests. And they should take their notes from this thread! Once again........OUTSTANDING!!! |

Thanks guys!
Yeah, at some point angelforge said the mask items got pushed back to the end of summer. I think some emails by interested buyers might motivate them.
