Non G.I. Joe Final Faction Mech custom

Jknox33 · 01-25-2021, 04:28 PM

I took the 5 POA mech and added shoulder, elbow, hip and knee articulation and updated the paint scheme. It doesn’t give the best range of motion since the hips and shoulders are on a ball joint. I took Mega Construx pieces and modded them to the shoulders and hips. The elbows and knees hinge and swivel, but the sculpt’s bulkiness hinder the range of motion. At least he can have some dynamic poses. I’ve added a WIP pic to show the original figure. Surprisingly, the mech has great detail and has a lot of battle damage sculpted into it. For $1, they really did a good job with the details.

That's really cool! I've only seen the alien figures around my area so I hope the Mech shows up before its too late.

That came out awesome!

Very cool. I just picked up all 6 of the weapon sets to try my hand at something similar. Great work!

Thanks! I hope the mech shows up soon for you. It’s hard to really get a grasp on how well they did on a $1 line until you have them in hand. Hoping to use some alien parts for a custom soon.

Thank you! Those weapons packs are pretty great for a buck. I wished they were a little softer plastic but scale so well in 1/18 for several different lines. I look forward to seeing your work on here!

I must have missed some of the weapons sets because I don’t recognize everything you used.

This mech is another winner!

Thank you! Yea, the mech has its own weapons pack, I think called “air assault.” I bought a couple just to load out the mech since he had so many ports.

That is really nice work

Man that is awesome!

Nice work!

I'm glad I stumbled across this thread, as I was looking for a booster pack for a project and this one is perfect! And cheap!
