The cherry red and gold weapons look great on the Jinx build! Always was a favorite character of mine so fun to see customs of her.
Then the new Marauder head works great for NF Zartan. And loving the paint job on the pants and the sheath. That thing just looks so cool with the lime green broken up by the orange wrap.

This next entry is just a fun little side project while I work on more complicated paint jobs. This guy doesn’t exactly look like the vintage version, but I’m sure you get the idea. I present Roadblock V5
ROADBLOCK (V5):1993

that's the RB I have. Never got v1 (I missed the 1985 series of AF when he was released), or v2 in '88 or v3. I ended up buying him in 1998 or so, from the shop I used to work in where they had sold some Battle Corps Joes in the early 90s and still had him, Flak Viper, Wet Suit v4 and Big Bear hanging around in the stock room and I found them and got the boss to let me buy them for a pound each.
Good job on the custom. |

Nice recreation of v5 Roadblock right here. You nailed the color scheme and those pant accents are spot on! Look forward to seeing what you have next!

I had an extra yellow T-shirt that I wanted to use, but I didn’t want to make Big Brawler or Taurus just yet. I figured I’d try another vintage-worthy option. This guy is just as well known for having a black T-shirt because of the Club, but I wanted to see what I could do with the yellow. I’m fairly satisfied with the result. The poses for this guy are unfortunately pretty static as I hadn’t put the leg-pins back in at the time the photos were taken. I give you...
CLAYMORE (V1):1986 I had...and continue to have...strong feelings about the T-crotch era of G.I.Joe. And not in a good way. This next guy was a small bright spot in a dismal line-up for that year. The colors were good and I loved the mask. Hopefully I’ve done this figure justice. Here comes... COBRA DESERT C.L.A.W.S (V1):2004
