Don't call it a comeback...
I never really went anywhere. You could say I just took a step back into the shadows and brooded. I haven't posted customs since about 2017 but I never stopped working on stuff and by working I mean mostly starting things and not finishing them or in other instances, finishing things but not posting them. My goals this year are to finish a great deal of my huge backlog of WIPs I started, some of which were started as far back as 2010 and post more of my finished work. I hope to continue to amaze, astound, and inspire with my customs and I also wanted to say thanks to all those whom have reached out to me and encouraged me put myself back out there. You guys are awesome and I'll never forget. Anyhow, here's my first one back into the fold: Colonel Grimm - COBRA Blue Berets Commander Parts used: Head - MU Drax Torso and waist - Custom cast Upper Arms - Wild Bill 00 Lower Arms - Backblast 89 Upper Legs - HEAT Viper 93 Lower Legs - Hit & Run 88 AK-74 rifle, Desert Eagle pistol and Spiked knuckle knife - Marauder Inc., Colonel Grimm is an ex- Colonel in the US Army Special Forces. A former member of the elite Green Berets, he was a military advisor training soldiers in the use of guerrilla warfare and later worked in black ops with his own team of professional soliders that carried out covert missions behind enemy lines. A fearsome man with a permanent scowl, he earns a ruthless reputation from his brutal and aggressive ambush tactics and the high body count they produce. As a hardened combat veteran that spent many years fanatically honing his deadly skills on the battlefield, Colonel Grimm relishes every opportunity he gets to fully display them, always looking for the next adversary to vanquish. Although considered by his superiors to be a highly valued asset, they had growing concerns over his increasingly harsh methods. Arrogant and ambitious, his thirst for conquest led him to form a plan to overthrow the goverment of an island nation in the South Pacific with his private army and take it as his own. The plan was eventually exposed but before action could be taken against him, Colonel Grimm and his men disappeared when the plane that carried them apparently crashes in the Pacific Ocean and are presumed dead. Sometime later, Colonel Grimm resurfaces alive, only now working for COBRA and leading a team calling themselves the COBRA Blue Beret Commandos. Bringing a new level of savagery with this elite team, his dark ambitions could one day be realized with an organization like COBRA behind him. Colonel Grimm believes victory is achieved only by those ruthless enough to obliterate all obstacles in it's path without hesitation and with his loyal troopers at his side, that spells doom to anyone who crosses their path!

Holy 💩!
This is awesome, and I love the bio. I am definitely borrowing your character to add to my Cobra ranks.

Col Grimm is badass! Always awesome to see some o ring customs and you knocked it out or the park. Love the build and the paint looks factory done. Great poses and pics as well!

Great character, backstory, build and paint! Looks like I missed your earlier work, but seeing it now I’m a fan. Coming from a guy who doesn’t customize ARAH (edit: by that I mean O-Ring), it nonetheless seems evergreen, the customizing that will never go out of style.
