I decided to give Shipwreck a friend and called it Topmast. This is a simple custom with some paint job on the upper section of the body and lower arms swap a few things. Thanks to Dave for sending me this GTC casted head from his store.
Topcast served with Shipwreck on the Navy but then decided to do what he loved most fishing as so he bought his own boat and decided to live and earn his life on the ocean. One day and due to the lack of experience in the GI JOE "Navy" Shipwreck invites him to integrate the force and help in the struggle against Cobra in sea scenarios. Small background ehehe this is what I came up with Enjoy!! |

As I don't want to take any credit to Jim's (Nightviper1) idea I decided to make reference to him. She doesn't have a jacket but maybe Jim can help me out with it. Jim make a really good job with her jacket so far.
The colors for the pants and shirt aren't very different as I wanted them to be so if you can't notice a difference you can be sure they are different colors. Jim's idea was great and I'm very happy with the result. I also tried to match as much as possible the head skin color and rest of the body. Head: Star Wars Mara Jade Upper torso: 25th Lady Jaye Lower torso: 25th Lady Jaye Arms: 25th Lady Jaye Legs: 25th Scarlett Pistol: Star Wars Mara Jade Enjoy!! |

I never was a big fan of the Deep-Six figure reminded me one of those old divers. Since I had a few parts here suitable for a diver decided to make one more. I know he probably looks more of a Wet-Suit but I have so many eheheh so I named him Deep-Six. He has a high tech helmet so he doesn't need air cans in his back. In his back he has a backpack with lights to guide him and his water sledge.
Enjoy!! |

This was a sort of easy custom to do using some parts that I thought were useless. It's a sort of VvV view of a Quick Kick. I'm not totally happy with it since I wanted to give him a stripe on his head but couldn't find something for that.

I think I'm not the only one that doesn't dig the 25th Scarlett neck/head section. As so I tried to come up with an idea to fix it. I remembered the JvC Scarlett the concept was ok but mostly the head was horrible. So I picked one up cut her neck and used it along with some putty and sanding on the 25th Scarlett head. I also had to use putty to close more the arms section of the torso so that the 25th arms could fit. Gave her a repaint and this was the result. I don't know but this is probably one the most complete and great customs I've done. I'm pretty happy with it
Hope you guys enjoy!! |

Decided to give my second 25th Wild Weasel a removable helmet for that I dremeled the entire interior and face section of the original Wild Weasel head. Grabbed a DTC Saw Viper head and dremeled it to to fit Wild Weasel body. Finally a paint job on the helmet and head and this was the result. The visor still works as you can see although with this conversion you can tell that they should have made the visor a little longer in the edges.

I've been working on him for a while. I think the 25th of SS doesn't really screams Snake Eyes specially because of his torso and arms. So I wanted to give him a more muscular look. The most muscular one was definitely Serpentor so I used his body and moded it hardly, chest, gloves, waist and knee pads. the head is a DD Snake Eyes from G2G .
Enjoy!! |

This one is rather simple to do but still gave me lots of work because some things didn't go so well. Opening the body gave some pain and I had to add some details from a F117 modelkit decals. Head is from a Duke modded, lower arms from a Cobra Trooper and helmet from BBI re-painted. The harness is from duke I simply cut the section where the original helmet would pop in.
Enjoy!! |

Ok I've been working on this for quite some time I dyed it and worked on several parts in order to put this guy together even requested JAFK to cast and upsize the original 2.5'' head. Used a mix of SW and Joe parts to pull it off with several mods. In the end I decided that the torso I originally had for him wasn't turning out so great so I changed it and the result was great in my opinion.
Head: some bikes toy line figure Torso: Razor Trooper modded Arms: SW clone trooper modded Waist: Slash Upper legs: Slash modded Lower legs: SW clone trooper modded Feet: 25th Destro Helmet: JAFK cast Staff: VvV Venomous Maximus Gold stripe: 25th Crimson Guard Enjoy!! |
