Re: Scifi67 GI Joe customs (Duke, Falcon and Stalker)

I dig that vintage looking Falcon. The spats make the difference.

Agreed. Falcon is looking top notch. Great additions.

That Falcon really looks perfect! The gaiters and new pouches really bring him home.

Thanks EF, 3 3/4 all the way on this one.

Thanks King.

Thanks Mando, I made a custom Falcon a while back so when SSC released theirs it was just a matter of moving gear over and picking up the WWII gaiters.

ROADBLOCK
I'm very pleased with how this one turned out, the KP figure was a no brainer.

Thanks jaberwaki I had alot of fun putting them together.

Thank you. I've got three more Joe to show but I have to do some painting on them before I can, Shipwreck, Footloose and Dusty are all complete except for face painting. The factory paint on the heads I used are way off from HT's bodies. Hopefully I can break out the paints this weekend and finish them off. I also need to paint Lady Jaye's head, Scarlett and Cover Girl are complete and need photos taken. Then I'm caught up to just wip Joes, Outback, Tunnel Rat, Wild Bill, Shockwave and toon SE. Quick Kick and Leatherneck will follow when my budget catches up.

Really dig Roadblock minus the head. Not sure what it is about the KP head but I just don't like it. Aside from my personal dislike of the head I think its perfect.

Re: Scifi67 GI Joe customs (Flint, Hawk and Roadblock)

Agree. Good looking figure, but that head isn't Roadblock. It just looks strange.

Thanks for the comments guys, maybe we can talk Skiman into sculpting a more toon accurate Roadblock for his next group bash.

This actor looks it would make a nice Roadblock head.

If you remove the neck this would be a good RB too

Re: Scifi67 GI Joe customs (Flint, Hawk and Roadblock)

There is a neckless version of the same head. I always thought a modded Clubber Lang head would work great for RB.

great custom work!

It's accurate to the original figure.

Re: Scifi67 GI Joe customs (Flint, Hawk and Roadblock)

great custom work!

Thanks Mike.

It's accurate to the original figure.

Thanks Jester the sculpt could pass as RB but King and EF are right, there's something that's off about that sculpt as RB. RB had more of a pin head and TC has a very round head.

Re: Scifi67 GI Joe customs (Flint, Hawk and Roadblock)

Did a little fine tuning to a couple of Joes...

V2 RnR, I went ahead and committed to the original look.

Black gloves, black boot, knife on the thigh and his sidearm made it in. I also added the pouches to his chest.

That's more or less what I meant. More than a few people have observed that v1 Roadblock's head was very strangely shaped, hence the KP sculpt is "accurate" to the original figure in that sense.
