Thanks. I was going to use that CFT torso for my Crimson Guard custom (and still might) but I thought it would work well when I was making Red Laser.
The Kraken is fairly simple, just a Boss Fight Studios Male Beast blank for the body and a vintage Kraken head. I didn't want to cut the Kraken up but I gave up trying to find a cast head anywhere. I have made all of SAS Force in my Marauder project, all of Z Force, all but Kiwi from Space Force and Bombardier and Boffin from Special Weapons Force. I have a complete Q Force team but none of them are MTF bodies (Marauders need to make a diver torso). I have also made most of the GI Joe team I am interested in (although that is only really up to 1986), most of Cobra up until then and all of the Oktober Guard. I would post photos but I don't want to hijack this thread, I will see about creating my own threads although I don't know how to get all the photos on as I have made 178 characters so far in my Marauder project. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/tech-s...otobucket.html Kiwi might be difficult with MTF parts, unless you use the mech suite again. I used the Joe club Final 12 TF Blizzard for mine. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-engineer.html Can't wait to see your teams!!!

Long time lurker looking for an excuse to jump on board
I am in the process of making all my GI Joe and Action Force figures from a Marauder base (with a few parts from other lines thrown in) and I think they are good for the Red Shadows Not sure why Red Jackal and Red Wolf look so small in this photo, they are all roughly the same size |

Thanks, it feels good to be finally posting instead of just reading
Thanks, I have always loved the Red Shadows. I didn't feel I could do them justice with GI Joe parts (back to original posters question), once I started doing them with Marauder parts I just had to do everyone else. Quote:
Wow!!! Sounds great. You can start a new thread and post your pics directly into your posts by using a 3rd party site host. See this thread for an easy way to do it. There are others out there, but this seems pretty easy for me, and it's free.

The Red Wolf cast head I got from AVACSLab fitted perfectly on the ROC Air Viper v5 body and I thought made a good Red Wolf

Thanks, and that's not all of them
Thanks, he was one of my earlier Marauder figures when GI Joe was going to be a core team of 12. I have a light blue shirt coming for him in the delayed pre-order, but not sure if I will change him or keep him as is |

For Red Shadows (WIP) and Black Major, I used MTF WWII Germans, with no paint apps needed. For Red Jackal, I used an amalgamation of several Destro figures.
