I wanted to start out with simple, so I did the ol' Steel Brigade. I know I have to go back and knock the gloss down on the head/sleeves with some matte clear coat, but I was so stoked to have had the time to finally do one that I wated to post it...
Thanks for lookin! Parts: Head-5pack SS Torso/Lower Legs-Tiger Force Duke Upper Legs-25th Gung-Ho Upper Arms-5pack CC Lower Arms-Tripwire Knees-Airborne Helmet-Pit Commando

Excellent job! Yep, like you said, take care of the glossy parts and you have one sweet looking custom. Looking forward to seeing more.

Looks great
I wish Hasbro would make one already. All the parts are there just put them together and we will buy it... he is a troop builder after all. |

I always thought he was. He's just a generic no name trooper... that you could use as a Joe troop builder. Since we really don't have many Joe troop builders this would be the perfect one for Hasbro to make, so our Joe squad can finally match our massive Cobra squads.

Looks good, and I agree that I feel he is a troop builder. A coat of flat clear coat is all that it should take to knock down the shine.
I think I'll eventually get around to making a few more. If you want, try to make him with as little paint as possible next time. You can take a TF Duke torso, with Cobra Commander arms (God knows many of us have plenty of spares of both of these) and all you need are legs from Airborne, and the helmet from the Pit Trooper. Only thing you need to paint is the crotch to match the legs. The cool thing about him is this figure is made from various figures (for the different vintage combinations). So you can add variety to the ranks by mixing and matching the Duke chests or the Airborne vests. |

Yep, the fig represents the Steel "Brigade" troopers. Back in the day you could send in for one, make up your own code name and stuff, get a personalized file card, and a SB patch.
