"Elliot Salem and Tyson Rios, two members of the Security and Strategy Corporation, are the best at what they do. Most mercenaries would run from the things they've seen but mission after mission these two battle it out in the thick of combat. Both are skilled mercs and proficient in ranged and melee forms of combat making them a lethal team. While it isn't Joe protocol to hire mercenaries to fight against Cobra, an unknown benefactor has contacted the SSC in behalf of us. Here's hoping Destro doesn't pay better!"
First off let me give a big shout out to Dave at Tri-Gate Creations for the headsculpts, they're probably the most detailed I've ever seen! The base bodies for the figures were both RoTC Sgt Flash with either Pit Commando right legs, Heavy Duty or Accel Suit upper left legs, and Halo armor parts added to the left sides. The front body armor/collars either came from Flash and parts of the comic 2-pack Beachhead or fodder. The feet were taken from the Neo Vipers and other Joes to match. When it came to the paint jobs I really had my work cut out for me and went all out, even detailing the masks as accurately as I could from the screenshots. Rios and Salem are now ready to battle the Joes in 1:18 scale! More pics here----> Army of Two ------------------------------------------------------------------ "Cobra and Dr Wily were at it again, this time strip mining sections of the world with their massive machines in search for some element called "Bassnium". Our mission was straight out of the play books. We go in, disrupt their operation, and gain intel for our next strike. Minutes into the mission however we were attacked by an unbelievably powerful Reploid calling himself Bass. As it turns out he was leading the operation all along, collecting the new element to power himself and upgrade to the deadliest Reploid ever created. Now we have a new threat to deal with!" A fan request many times over, Bass was created to fit into my GI Joe 'Alterverse' line with the rest of my Megaman characters. He was created from a RoC Snake Eyes body, lower arms and legs of a Black Ox Revoltech, head from an old Megaman Bandi figure with ears made from a Storm Shadow 2-pack's shoulder armor, and the cape from a VvV figure. His removable Megabuster came from a cannon-arms Astroboy and the chest/forehead piece was sculpted from Aves studios Apoxie Sculpt. More pics here----> Bass |

These are so amazing! How the hell did you paint the whites of their eyes?! These are a few more customs that can join the ranks of many others I've seen on this site before that could be classified as art.
