Well, I've been browsing threads on New Earth and other post-apocalyptic styled customs here and on other customs forums for quite some time now, and I have been meaning to create a new line of customs (current line is the E.C.H.O Group, modern day style, but I'm sort of getting bored with that) in a post apocalyptic or futuristic style, but have never gotten around to doing it...
Until this weekend... My son has been badgering me about making Joes again ever since summer started, and this thread by Tanker rascal! http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ame-bones.html really inspired me to make this guy... And what makes this and the other customs I am about to post is that my son and I both worked on them (he chose the parts for his character, Range, which will be coming soon (my son and I worked on 3 this weekend), and painted the base black for a lot of the pieces, and did some of the dry brushing)... Anyway, enough of the back story... I present to you, Edge, a gun toting, katana wielding (why? I'm still trying to figure that little tidbit out, as well as the Joe verse he and his two teammates will be in) member of a soon to be named mercenary group... Enjoy!!! Handle: Edge Real Name: Levin Atreidies Bio: Levin Atreidies was once a Lieutenant of the Storm Unit of the 413th Legion, originally based at Legion Headquarters in what was once Beijing. The Unit was sent to assist the Solin Chancellery in the patrolling of the Pearl River Delta in the outskirts of the Legion’s Solin Colony, for the Pearl River Delta was one of the primary water sources of the 17 Legion Colonies. It was also one of the main trading routes, and while merchants would regularly ply the route, it was also notoriously wrought with vicious pirates and criminals. The Storm Unit was disbanded after their commanding officer, Major Fabio Guillerm, refused to carry out an attack on nomadic merchants who regularly pass through the territory on their way to trade with other colonies in what was once Mainland China. The Colonel was summarily executed on site, and the members of the 413th assimilated into other regiments. Atreidies resigned his commission, and joined another Legion veteran, Captain “Cap” Jean St. Clair, when he formed a mercenary group with other Legion vets. The Storm Unit was well trained not only in firearms, but also with bladed weapons and unarmed combat. Edge got his handle due to him favoring a bladed weapon over guns, despite being armed with both, and constant close quarters combat situations during his stint with the Storm Unit further honed his sword skills. Now, I usually come up with a background before the figure, I even create a Joe verse beforehand... But well, with my son's nagging, and the sudden inspiration, the Joe verse now has to be molded around the characters... I'll see how that works out... Also, I know it looks almost like a carbon copy of rascal!'s OC Panzer, and for that I apologize... But rascal!'s just looked so damn good, I just had to copy it... Sorry again...! EDIT: One last thing... I have a somewhat crappy camera, and almost no light to work with, so I did the next best thing - Photoshop... Just adjustments to the brightness, as well as the color, just to bring the color out as much as possible...
