More of my customs...
« on: October 14, 2012, 05:28:13 PM »

First, here is a more realistic combat team...



From left to right: Falcon, Chuckles, Flint, Dial tone, Roadblock (head '86, arms '84), Tunnel Rat and Quick kick.




Night force Recondo

What do you think?

I actually like that Night Force Recondo. I always thought that original Tiger Force Recondo was a little different and felt a bit odd from the rest of the team mates. This is a good use you found for him.

The troops are pretty cool, but one nitpicking detail: I think your Roadblock' orange brown backpack is a slightly off with the rest of the team. If you give him the accessories pack backpack instead, I think the pack will match the straps on his torso a little more and it'll look much better.

Thanks. As you know, I'm not a big fan of the Tiger force. The lower parts are from Psyche-Out... :-)

You are right, or maybe the one from the 1988 Roadblock. It's Green instead of Tan:

Thanks guys!!

Dial Tone turn out better than what I thought... and I'm really happy with the result of Roadblock and Quick kick. Keeping their arms is a little nice extra for me.

This is my favourite part of the vintage Joes.  I used to do so many of these swaps.  Looks good.
