I always liked Guns Ho as a character, but hated the colors of his fatigues. I decided that if I wanted to take him seriously with my modern G.I. Joe unite, he needed a paint job. I also swapped out his vest for a more combat appropriate one from Marauder, and gave him a gun with a grenade launcher on it. Now he looks like the badass Marine that he's supposed to be.

Well done Agrippa, excellant paint apps! I also like the take on the body armor. A little history behind GH's original colors, hasbro tried to make his fatigues look like those of an old Corp salty Marine where they would fade in time thus making them look less dark green, blacks and browns and turn into a milky almost dull teal color. Excellant job again and fitting post with it being the Marine Corps 241st birthday today,...OOH RAH!

That makes a lot more sense. It never bothered me as a kid, but as an adult it seemed like Gung Ho moonlighted as an owner of a gay bar with that outfit (not that there's anything wrong with that).

great work. really like the vest.
as far as the choice of weapons, keep his M-79 grenade launcher, and give him either a plan M-16 or an M-60. I do like playing Oprah and giving everyone a SAW (or M-4s) though. |
