Simply great stuff rob, I'm impressed with the parts and color combos you use to build your customs.

Thanks, Mr. H!
I promise I do not have an obsession with Rock N Roll. It?s just that he is an easy figure to swap pieces for. I had a couple more ideas I wanted to flesh out. I had a crap custom head that I had laying around (the mic broke off) so I thought I would slap some paint on it and temporarily make it a Tiger Force Rock N Roll head. I will eventually do something else with it. TIGER FORCE ROCK N ROLL Then I thought I could do a quick Tan Rock N Roll. Ignore the weird pose and the noticeable space between the waist and torso. I?m not willing to shave down the waist ball just for a temporary pic. The pieces used will go back to Tan Clutch and Dusty. TAN ROCK N ROLL So all in all these were just test shots that may or may not be put towards figures in the future. Next I think I?ll mess around with a Tiger Force Breaker.

The head on this figure was originally a Mega Marines Clutch build long before Marauders came about, so the hat was already orange. When I decided to use it temporarily for Rock ?N Roll, I also added the tiger stripes. After taking the Tiger Force Rock ?N Roll pics, I wanted to give another OG a try at being a Tiger Force member. With just a brown coat of paint, Breaker got the call. Funny that this one head has been all of the OG bearded Joes. I painted the knees tiger stripe as an homage to Breaker?s Tiger Force communications counterpart Dial-Tone.

More great Marauder customs! Really liking the Talking Commanders General Hawk, the Ace (based on v1, but really different in a good way!) and the Rock-N-Roll in original and tan (not a TF fan, but that's just me...). Also dig your desert Ninja Combat Cruiser and Ninja Commando vehicles; these look great as desert ops vehicles! Keep up the great work, man!

So, there are some of my customs that I end up just not liking anymore. Examples include my Orange-Pants Grunt, my V1 Lifeline, and my 2002 V6 Firefly (thumbnail). I decided to repurpose that figure into the one below.
Keep in mind two items. 1. The paint looks a bit gloopy. The previous layers were silver before I gave the figure some maroon. So there is double the amount of paint than what I normally slap on a figure. 2. This guy is currently missing his silver grenades. For my own mental health, I had to throw the horribly painted grenades across the room and couldn?t find them again. FIREFLY (BUILT TO RULE V2): 2004
