Hi all, I've made custom Combat Heroes before, but never a 3-3/4" inch Joe. I want to make a General Colton figure as I figured it would be pretty easy.
I've got a ranking officer Hawk on its way for the body. I'm thinking I might use a Bench Press as the head. Has anyone done this exact custom before? I'd like to see pictures of what it'll look like if possible. Do the skin tones work together? And I'm still on the lookout for Bench Press if anyone's got one for sale. I assume the boil & pop method is the best way to go and that it's a pretty easy process? Thanks for any help. |

few ppl made him so far..
my buddy uman made one using a star wars obi head. not sure what figure since i'm not into sw, but he has a lil gray hair near his ears and pinkish skin. now you will have to do some work to make the head fit, no, no, no, i'm not talkin' spit and not that head.. what you would have to do is, get ya'self some green stuff epoxy and fill the hole, then dremel a new hole using the bit that has the ball on the end. hope that helps.. |

Here's mine:
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...lton-94-a.html SRO Hawk body, Ep.3 Obi Wan head (this figure is currently on the pegs in the Saga Legends line). You'll have to mod the hole in the head a little bit to get it to fit on the neckpost snug, I use the hot glue method, myself. The fleshtone is a little darker on the face than the hands, so I'd repaint the hands to match the face (it's easier, trust me). Last edited by monstermonkey; 10-28-2010 at 01:10 PM.. |

Wow, I didn't think this was gonna be this difficult & require a lot of stuff I don't have.
Are there people on this board you can send the parts to that will attach the parts correctly for a $15 fee or something? |

Best place to look is here. If you check the last page, you can see pics of my fodder. I might have all the parts youre looking for depending on the recipe youd like

Here is the one I did. It's based more on the DDP appearance of the character which I liked quite a bit.

You can try the Joe headcast from either SDS or Broken Arrow. I think it is Cast of the club one.

I used an Obi Wan episode 3 head, Falcon body, and a bandolier. I was pretty happy with what I came out with.
