Mega Joes!
***Ammendment to first post: I feel I should include the most recent pics to this first post Joes: (Top Row are pretty much completed/named characters) Cobra: *** During the Covid shutdown, I started collectng some of the Mega Construx COD figure packs. I noticed that with a little mixing of some arms, legs, and torso pieces; I could come up with a few decent looking interpretations of Joes. I don't know if this was deliberate from the designers; but the results look pretty passable (and coincidental) to me ;) So here's a pic from my first setup, with some of my Joes made from kitbashing many of the COD sets found up until that point. (07/13/2020) Can you see the inspirational characters of these first 10 Mega Joes done here? Last edited by stealthy slim; 09-02-2023 at 09:18 AM.. |

Back during the shutdown, I had initially stumbled across a Mega Construx Call of Duty - Desert Snipers vs. Mercenaries figure pack at a local Dollar General store. The one desert spotter (w/o the guilie suit) looked a pretty close mold for a cobra trooper.
I thought this Halo guy's head could work for a Cobra Viper. So after a bit of switching around figure parts; here's what my Mega Cobras were looking like at first. Sorry for the crappy pics, but I just really liked the reflection on Snow Serpent's eyewear ;) |

...A few days later:
You can see my start of some Dreadnoks, CG in the back, and my CC was a Halo city police (or something). Being as those figures are a little shorter, I wanted to find a better suited body for CC. I found a pilot figure from COD series 1, and decided to see what that looked like on the Commander. (Below) I also saw a Swat team of k/o mega construx figures on aliexpress, that looked a good shade of blue. With a little blue paint mixed to (just about) the right color for the helmets: Switching pieces around, got me a passable Major Bludd (w/o eye patch yet) What do ya think? Getting there, huh? Now bear in mind, I had been trying to use as little paint apps as I can...so far. Helmets, hats, and facial hair is all I had really added at that point. |

Zarana day2:
I mixed up a little pink color for her. I painted the hair, and then let the rest of the mixed pink set until it was just about crusted over. I used the thickened paint, to try to mold her half shirt. It didn't come out great; but it's a good "ten foot paint job". Looks great if you stand back 10 feet. lol After that, a little flesh tone color mixed up for her belly; and there you go. Dr. Mindbender: Now Mindbender is actually made up of: Mega Marvel Superheroes - Whiplash for the body. I painted the legs purple. (I used the head for Torch..for now) Mindbender's head is one of the Assassins Creed French soldiers, iirc In this pic you can see my fleshed out Dr. Venom, and (since I accidentally mixed up way too much purple) you can also see my sloppy painting of what could one day be Techno Viper ;) |
