Hey guys, Im going to post up something I'm working on.

Really Im re-vamping the ARAH Joe releases from 82-87 (my main years of collecting as a youngster. And I'm focusing on 1986 right now.)

I'll post up some pics in a bit, but Im at a point where I need help in finishing in some cases and actually starting in others. Hopefully I can get some feedback going to get to the finish line with it...

COMPLETED



Beachhead - done though Im debating a repaint on his PoC Base.
Leatherneck - Done, done.
Roadblock (though not in his 86 look or even an interpretation of it.)
Cross Country - Done, done.
Low-Light - Like I'll ever get my hands on the PoC release.
Wet Suit (I may touch this one up and go with more of a red wet suit like in his early Marvel appearances.)

In-Progress
Mainframe

I have the fig down from the neck down, and can't seem to get the
head/helmet combo I want to finish it. Lazy thing to do is slap a
black helmet with a silver dot in the forehead.

Ideas/Suggestions?


Mainframe, Dial Tone, and Hawk in the initial work

ON DECK
Dial-Tone - Think I got a plan for this one and the parts to do it with.
Hawk - Got a Artic version I'm think of putting together for this one.
Iceberg - How the hell do I get a Artic Cap on top of a decent looking sculpt for this character?
Lifeline - Im half tempted to make a fig, and shoot it up to hell and back, unrecognizable as Lifleline and call it Lifeline.
Sci-Fi - Uhh yeah . ..
Lift-Ticket - Probably a kit bash of one his releases
Sgt Slaughter - Do I really want a Sgt Slaughter?
Slipstream - Like to do a non flight suit version of this fig.


So guys, thought and suggestions for Mainframe and the others on deck?

Dang. Here I thought this was a thread about the band. Still, this is cool. Not as cool as the band, but still, a cool project nonetheless ;)

Boy, Ive come a long way in this project. Lifeline and Sci-Fi are the 30th versions, and the rest are customs.

I got Dial Tone as a WiP, need to finish painting him in spots, and build his web gear. I also lack his ARAH gear to use for this custom, so I need to track that down as well.

Gonna change his hands . . .

Little bit more work left with him yet.

But here's the rest of the gang too . ..



So I have left now are

86 versions of Roadblock, Hawk, Slipstream, Lift Ticket and Sgt. Slaughter.

Dial Tone looks good I did the saem for mine but felt that torso was waytoo scrawny so went w Mutt torso and painted collar tan and waist area black for the pants
