So, did Major Storm grab the helmet from Knockdown’s dead corpse?😳
The only thing I would change (after I copy yours) is going with the cloth forearms. And a different helmet of course.

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.

A cloth arms and legs build would probably work great for him too. If I had those when I made him probably could have gone in that direction. I tried Marauder helmets and accessories but none were working for me, think he was just coming off too plain for my liking and blending in on the shelf too much. The Knockdown helmet, as goofy as it is, just felt right once I started painting it. Plus it makes him pop on the shelf more. Def post pics if you build him with a different helmet, don’t see many customs of him so I’d love to see how he’d look with some tweaks.

Gonna do a week of figures that I just built from start to finish over the last two weeks or so. Up first is someone that I absolutely had to upgrade because he was a favorite of mine growing up and the Club version that we got just didn’t cut it.
This one is a Boss Fight elf blank and fur pieces. Marauder black German skirt piece, belt, bandolier, pouches, knife, head, goggles & hat. The scarf might be from a Fortnite guy. Not entirely positive where that came from but I don’t think it’s a Joe piece. Other than the hat, scarf and one pouch, everything is painted on this one. Got to mix some paint to get the blue just right too. I say this a lot these days as I get better at building & painting guys but this is one of my favorite customs that I’ve done. Another who I was not sure would work or not when I had the unpainted build together but I love the finished product. Iceberg And the reason why I had to do this one: Here’s the unpainted build I put together before I started working on him:

The scarf piece appears to be from this ROC Storm Shadow...

Really like how these parts worked for an artic trooper. Thanks! Having a great time with the Boss Fight parts, really versatile and fun to use. Hahaha! Thanks! I appreciate it! Really love how he came out. Might use this build for some other artic troops I want to get done now that I see how well it works.
