Man I'm loving that Wild Bill...awesome job! He's one of my fave from the 25th....i know i know some people don't understand why. I wanted so bad to get the WB with DF from the ROC...looked awesome! Only vehicle I was interested in from that line. I found it really hard to find.

Thanks!

Repeater
« Reply #25 on: April 03, 2012, 02:18:49 PM »

Here's my modern Repeater.

Mandingo Rex from Hisstank did the belt for me.  The vest and hands color match.  I wanted hands that had the additional wrist movement which is why I went for those.

The backpack matches the belt (it only doesn't match because of the flash...haha).  I had a vintage Repeater backpack I was going to use, but I seem to have misplaced it though. :(





Just to show the belt:

love repeater man, did you make the stand with "repeater" on it or was it a part of ROC? Keep it up!

As a kid, I liked the ECO Warriors.  Here's my updated Clean Sweep.  I modernized him in that he is using less bulky headgear.  This is my Joe Hazardous Environment team of Clean Sweep and Airtight.  Clean Sweep's helmet is a little small which is why I picked a head that has the head cover.  Only mod on Airtight is that I added the air hoses to his helmet and connected it to his backpack.







Without helmet:

Scarlett

Here's my updated 30th Scarlett.  She's my default Scarlett now.

I wanted her to have a pistol and a quiver as well so I added the 25th Scarlett quiver onto a Lady J belt.







I made tabs on the quiver so no glue was required.


A few more pics:

Charbroil
« Reply #33 on: May 09, 2012, 12:28:36 PM »

Here's my updated Charbroil.  As with most of my customs, no painting required. :)

The reason I did what I did was because I was inspired by Charbroil's helmet on his card art.



Some pictures, one of his hoses is blue.  I didn't realize until I started the photoshoot that I accidentally used the Target ROC Wetsuit's hose.  I fixed it up after I realized, so the ones with two black hoses to his helmet is how he should look. :)

Man, that Charbroil is totally bad ass.  Love the helmet / head combo.  1,000% better than the dopey Hasbro version (and I was happy to get that one at the time).
