First time custom poster, so please bear with me! Trying to figure this jazz out.
These figures, like almost all of my others, are LBC kit bashes and part swaps. I will paint some black on parts that don't move, from time to time. For you viewing pleasure, we have POC desert Shipwreck, Sandstorm, a Joe Humvee driver (haven't named him yet), and Gen. Hawk, as well as POC desert Major Bludd and POC Desert Vipers. Base body for all the Joes is ROC Ross Sandstorm. In addition: --Shippy has a ROC Shipwreck head, POC jungle Duke rifle, ROC desert Duke pack, and ROC Desert Viper goggles/scarf. --Sandstorm has POC Zartan alt head/vest/bag, and POC BH gun. --Humvee driver has the ROC 5pack Zartan alt head and 25th Viper goggles, for now. --Hawk has the ROC Hawk head and shoulder holster, and ROC Shipwreck pistol. Looking for easy ways to jazz up the Humvee driver and Hawk (or better uses for several extra Sandstorm bodies, if anyone has any ideas). ->POC desert Major Bludd had a Desert Viper body with25th extreme cond. Bludd head, dog tags, and backpack/pistol/missles, with ROC Elite Viper armor (the darkest one I had, came from the factory that way - not customized), 25th 5pack Cobra Legions CC helmet, and ROC Destro gun. Still think he needs a bit more tweaking. BTW, the Bludd missle gun fits in the DV holster perfect without a missle attached. ->POC Desert Vipers have various different weapons, with the Sandstorm masked head instead of the ROC helmet. The colors are almost exactlly the same, and the goggles fit perfectly (fresh out of the package, maybe less perfectly if you have stretched them on the top of the ROC helmet already). Then, just some group shots of a little display I'm working on. The extra sandbags were from Power Team Elite, and the satellite dish from and Ep2 Obi Wan. They are just scattered about right now, not a great action shot at the moment.

I have some extra desert RAM cycles and Sandstorm bodies, among a bunch of other crap for trade, if anybody needs any. PM if interested.
I forgot to take a picture of him, but I'm working on a DV officer using the webgear from the DV and a preview 3pack MARS Officer body. The Mars officer is almost the same color as the DV.

LBC's are the best customs you can get..no paint chips and they fit right in with the rest of your collection.. nice job mate!

Thanks guys. Yeah, my favorite customs are the ones you can't tell are customs, so LBC's are the way to go for me.
The diorama is all stuff that can be bought, none of it was customized. ROC Outpost Defender, Ep2 pilot Obi-Wan satellite dish and stand, and the extra sandbags and building are from a cheap military toy line called Power Team Elite that they sell at Big Lots and JC Penny here in America. And just to be clear, I have some Desert Ram cycles w/ unapplied stickers, and some Sandstorm bodies without heads or helmets, for trade. I don't have any complete sets for trade.
