But wait! There's more! Looked through the thread and couldn't find this custom. Thought I posted it already.
Gravel: While not really a Joe custom, he's an important character in TAOWAR. You see, in my back story, he kills a Transformer I befriended named Raider. Then trys to kill me. The first time, Raider and the younger me barely escape. The 2nd time, Raider dies and he nearly kills a GI Joe group that intervened (Flint, Lady Jaye, Roadblock, and Shipwreck). He ran away from battle when a simple revolver hurt him. 3rd time (present in comic), I barely beat him using a revolver (at this point, his only weakness). The name Gravel comes from the fact that my wheelchair sinks in gravel. At some point, I decided it made a good bad guy name. THIS is why TMNT was such a great toyline in the 80's-90's. The details of the sculpt were just begging to be painted! I went far out of my way just to paint every single detail this figure has and dashing black all over made him turned out beautifully. I consider this one of my best customs to date.

Even as a kid I had the urge to paint all the little details that were hidden in the sculpts of my toys. It's funny (or is that sad?) how often the factory paint aps don't do the sculpts justice.

Today, got 2 Transformers and a Joe scale figure. Raider (V2): Raider is the Raider mentioned above in Gravel's post. He is V2 because the V1 that I never used is made from Legos (which I've misplaced). I'm aware the ball joints didn't paint well. However, it's not very noticable in action poses. He was put together from broken TF Basics/Scouts to make a cool robot. His alt mode is my wheelchair in comic. Sence he cannot transform, he is a shellformer/Pretender/Action Master. If I had an extra of the chair, it would be hanging off him as kibble. Instead, he can Cast Off the shell and it makes a funtional chair for me. Parts: Lower Arms, Legs, Left Gun - BM Mirage; Upper Arms - Wind Sheer; Torso, Head - TFU Fireflight; Right Gun - G1 Swindle. Henshin Form 01 Boomeraider: In TAOWAR, Blade has an onboard computer called Command Line. When activated, it pretty much just boosts all abilities a great deal. When the command "Henshin" is given, Blade can moprh into different forms. Keeping it simple, he has only morphed into Transformer types. The story behind this is that after Raider's death, a doctor was forced by the US Government to try and make a Human/TF hybird out of me (note that I'd be dead otherwise). Command Line is the result. The Boomraider is my 2nd Henshin form (and first to be used). He was not meant to be one of my Henshins. However when my originally planned figure broke mid photo shoot, I decided on this mold in a hurry. In it's first appearance, the Boomeraider had only the blue paint details added and nothing else. Before it's 2nd appearance, I repainted the full figure. Why he still has his game controller mode, I don't use it because I'm not that much of a gamer (anymore, at least). Instead, he has a Vehicon-ish boomerang mode. Parts: Body - High Score; Blades - TMNT Karai Nega-Gnome: As I've mentioned before, my current storyline is one where a paradox has caused the heroes to be in a Cobra ruled world. Well, that comes complete with Negatives of the main cast. This is Blade's Negtive from the new timeline. In real life (and in comic back story), I'm short. It has gotten me the nickname gnome. As a joke, I decided my negative should be a gnome. It was my compromise with myself for making him the only "good guy" negative. Parts: Some Narnia figure.

Thanks
Btw, is there someone I need to ask to change the thread title to "Blade Raider's Customs"? I forgot when making the trhead that most forums don't let you change the title after you submit it. Henshin Form 00 RatStriker: The RatStriker is what the Boomeraider replaced. The sword is now broke from were the figure was constantly falling over. I really liked this custom, it just hated to stand. The reason why there's no picture of his vehicle mode is because these shots come from the source pics I took for the comic (I later edited it together as an Alternate Battle comic). I would have taken new pics, but when I dug it out, I decided to try fixing him with my kitbashing skills now. He's looks nothing like that anymore. Anyways, the tail is double length as I had an extra Rattrap tail. I removed the top chromed part on his back. I also moved the right shouder armor to make it so he could put his sword on his shoulder. The blade at the end of the hilt of the sword is the Finisher Blade. This was my favorite part of the custom. Parts: Figure - TM Rattrap, Sword - Sword Strike Gundam Before reopening the custom, I took this group shot of...umm...me.

The Keela and Kerri customs would look awesome under a blacklight.
This is some amazing work! |
