I didn’t get a chance to respond to your last couple customs but they look great man! I dig the Sea Slug and never would have thought to make him Marauder style. I always look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Thanks, I appreciate it! —————— If Vapor was my favorite pilot growing up, Nitro Viper was probably my favorite Cobra driver. Hunted all over for my original O-Ring figure and can’t find him which bums me out. Hopefully I stumble across him so I can do the Past & Present pic at some point. The Detonator was missing when we cleaned out the old storage locker, no idea how we “misplaced” that giant thing. Haha. I do have two of the giant foam missiles which are in really good shape. How they survived years in a storage locker is a total mystery, haha. Another easy Marauder build with a casted head. Just a little silver & orange paint added. Thinking about painting the upper arms black to make him a little more accurate to the original figure. Battlecorps Nitro Viper Since I don’t have the Detonator right now I put him in charge of the orange HISS troops. I REALLY need to get some stickers on this thing. Haha. Think I just saw them so that’ll be a weekend task at some point.

And I have a build in place for an Annihilator so once I can start adding some paint, could be showing him off sooner than later!

Continuing the week of vehicle drivers comes another that I had growing up but unfortunately whose vehicle I lost over time, Major Storm. I wasn’t too crazy about Major Storm as a figure but the General was my favorite big vehicle growing up so he got a ton of use in the drivers seat. No vehicle was involved in as many battles as the General, usually getting blown to pieces before launching the Locust to turn the tide of battle.
A fairly straight forward figure design led to a pretty simple Marauder build. It wasn’t until the 86 vest came out that I was happy with the build and then when I decided to paint a fodder bin Knockout helmet when it all came together for me. Straight up Marauder build here with no paint on the figure itself. Then the helmet and his gun were both painted gold. I learned the trick to put down a light brown base coat before painting over it with gold after painting his gun so at some point I’ll circle back and give that a proper paint job so it looks closer to the original gold gun. Major Storm Because he got the General destroyed one too many times, he was downgraded to Tread Ripper driver. Haha.

Thanks! Another character who I didn’t really have an appreciation for until my modern update.
Haha, The General and the Slugger, those were my Top Two favorites growing up. You get one of those destroyed, you’re gonna find yourself driving Recon Sleds & Tread Rippers! He was almost driving the Weapons Transport but he didn’t fit. Haha, I love the Weapons Transport though.

Up next for Vehicle Driver Week is one that I didn’t even know existed growing up, Star Brigade Techno Viper. I was all in on the first wave of Star Brigade but started getting out of buying Joes regularly during the next few waves of the line so I completely missed Techno and his mech.
Another easy Marauder build with a casted head and some copper paint added to the armor & pouches to really make him pop. Star Brigade Techno-Viper

Two more great additions. I also had Major Storm as a kid but he never really hit me in the feels so I tossed him the expendable joe group. I do like how you kept a simple build without having to paint and yet made him so accurate. Well done man and I may be using this formula.
