I like spamming this thread.

Re: My Take on some Gi-joe and Cobra

Do u have a pic BM?

I'll try not to ruin Seb's wonderful thread with my blunders, but here he is (not finished either):

I used a Cobra Officer uniform for his outfit. I dyed it brown originally but since it was Navy blue to begin with, it just looked near-black. So I used dye remover for less than 1 minute and it turned a bright ORANGE! Then another dip on brown dye and it came out like this, Cobra decals intact (though slightly faded).

Re: My Take on some Gi-joe and Cobra

I like it BM, head that I'm sculpting is going to be similar

I made him a lil meaner though, with a frown, I always picture Bludd being angry.

Good job bro.

Looks great. But with that forearm, he can pick his toes without even bending over. You should see if you can find an Ultimate Vader Hasbro arm. It's a lot shorter.

Doesn't his arm bend...?

Its pretty stubby looking though, plus its not as detailed. Its a little long yeah, but I think its OK, especially when the arm is bent. When its down at his side, it does look too long then.

By the way, does anyone think we should just open a General GI Joe custom thread? Besides Seb here, most of us aren't cranking out a figure a week, but we still want to show off what we do have. So 1 or 2 figures might not really need their own thread, so how about just 1 big thread for any non-Seb customs (you could repost them there too though Seb!)? Kind of like the Firefly thread, but not limited to just one character.

I dunno. I'd almost rather have it done by characters. I loved our Destro thread until Elvis came in and took a big ol' turd on it!

Re: My Take on some Gi-joe and Cobra

Meaning we were all fine and dandy until shown how impossibly inferior our custom Destros were in comparison.

I think you're the only one who didn't get the sarcasm in that, despite the "" at the end.

Re: My Take on some Gi-joe and Cobra

Yeah, Seb kind of ruins anyone else's versions of figures.

But that is a good thing. I'd rather feel bad about my attempts than never see what he comes up with

Re: My Take on some Gi-joe and Cobra

This is weird how we got our own universe, I got my Jedis/Siths and you got your Joes/Cobra.
Same way to conceive our hobby for 2 differents collection !
No StormShadow by the way...

Re: My Take on some Gi-joe and Cobra

Yes that's funny you said that because now that i bash some cobra i have the smae kind of artistic freedom you also have on your custom mando. This is all about fun!

Storm Shadow will come that's for sure!
