The moment I got two MARS Troopers, I felt that they could be used to make a Shockwave(which i'll show at a later time) and a Beach-Head. For Beach-Head, the inspiration was simple---the MARS Trooper head(or any using the same mold) looked the closest to matching up with the RAH version's. The difficult part was trying to make a shade of green that would match up. I had to mix a lot of different colors, mostly blues, grays, and a shade of green. I also copied some customizers from here using the ROC Rescue Mission Snake Eyes belt.
Head: MARS Trooper/Officer(same as Hazard Viper's and Volcano Viper's heads) Belt: ROC Rescue Mission Snake Eyes Rest: 50th Anniversary Beach-Head

Thanks! I'm still keeping his original 50th Anniversary head on the side just in case I ever need to change it back to normal...

They are all Apple Barrel paints. I wish I could remember the exact combination, but I know for sure I used the colors of pavement, pool blue, white, black, Holly Branch(which is some kinda green) and bright yellow.
