I really don't consider myself to be a customizer, the proof of that is indicated in my attached pictures. I just sort of dabble, and like to switch and paint heads.
Working on a self-custom that is turning out to be passable, if I leave it on the back of my display shelf, right behind the Mobat so no one can see it. My Lady Jaye is a repainted Helix head on the DVD Set Lady Jaye Body. (I just like it ok) Scarlett is a repainted ROC Reactive Armor Body with a Comic Two Pack Head and some random gear. (This one almost looks passable) Artic Flint, the most lazy custom ever, is a Cobra Disguise Flint Head snapped onto the Past and Present Snow Job body. (That took me hours to figure out). And the other pics are my work in progress self-custom (see my profile for the reference pics of me) - again, will look great hiding behind my Mobat. |

This is how it all starts, first your snapping parts together, then the next thing you know,you are painting, then you are dremeling out heads and torso's, then you start looking at sculpting kits........ good to see you getting into it bro.

I totally have a kit bashed Artic Flint. I think this is one of my favorite things to do with the Joes.

The 3 3/4" lines have been daunting for me because of the exactness of working with such a small scale. Had to get a a small craft vice and a magnafier to even get the paint apps to look passable. It is frigging addictive though. |

Been customizing 12" G.I. Joe's for years and when I was collecting Marvel Legends I was knocking out some really decent figures...even got into airbrushing and molding to a small degree.

I love the Arctic Flint. I wish Hasbro would do more environments with their major players like this.
They started with Doc and Shipwreck. Even though Doc wouldn't blend in with the Arctic very well! |

LMAO - but for lazy customizers like me I just hope they make some good bodies that the heads come off easily. |
