The idea sort of surfaced when we started noticing our own retakes on the Joe Canuck exclusive figures, so after a couple of PM's it was immediately clear that the spirit was: "Hey, I know you're eventually going to customize a Timbit, and you know I'm going to make one too: so why not make a conjoint project out of it, that is, if you feel like it."
Neo's specialty is the 25th style construction customizing while mine still operates on ARAH, so that beeing a major difference in our hobby, it easily set the theme for our project: PAST and PRESENT.
This is the first time we try something like this, and we wanted it to be more than anything an initiave of common goal and team effort while having fun, so let us know what you think. Oh yeah, and for questions of very limited timed, we decided to leave out Snackpack and the box of Timbits for now. Enjoy!

Don't hate me, but when I see Present Timbit my first thought was David Hasselhoff?
OMG!!! You are so right! But it is great work!

To be honest Timbit was a bit difficult for me to do, I just didn't "get" what he is. I dont know why but I gave him shades as it seemed a bit more modern for a guy to be wearing them being outdoors all the time. BTW Joe will be making more to complete our Past & Present collection so stay tuned!

That is great work, can you post the figure recipe?
As for ARAH Timbit, parts used were:
- Head: Sgt. Hacker head (modified, epoxy was used for the hair)
- Torso: Cutter v.2
- Arms: Hot Seat
- Waist and Legs: Shockwave

Pics of Past & Present Joecanucks are now posted.
That Past Joe Canuck is really really good (and I have #5 of the original 20). How did you make it?

Basically, I used parts from two figures:
- Head: Laser-Viper (with sculpted winter hat) with compliments of the goggles from 25th Anniversary SnowJob
- Body: Blizzard
- Accessories: neat spare accessories pack brown riffle and backpack that magically match the brown enamel paint I used - woohoo!

The hair looks great - very good job with the epoxy.

Thanks. Timbit's hair didn't give me any trouble, but Snackpack did give me some. So I decided to make him for another day when I'm done with Shiver and Black Ice, the next ones to appear on the PAST and PRESENT project.

OMG I love that ARAH Shiver.. recipe please!
Before I answer your question, just know that the most important ingredient is NeoDragon's Shiver v.1 custom. Without it, you wouldn't be necessarily looking at the ARAH translation of it. Yes, this time I did a custom of a great custom. Why? First because IMO, Neo's Shiver v.1 is the best plastic representation of it that I know, along with the Mike's Sigma Six style custom. Neo did make a Shiver v.2, which I hope will make it sometime soon in this thread. But next comes Black Ice! (again another ARAH representation of Neo's custom!).
Second, because this is now the chance for both Neo and I to push the enveloppe on the Past and Present collaboration.
Figure recipe: let's make a game out of it, can anyone take a guess? :)

Zartan legs, trooper crotch piece, Lift Ticket arms???
You got Zartan and Cobra trooper right. They're not Lift Ticket's arms. But you're burning. Think same year.
As for the head it should be a very easy one for anyone familiar with the VvV comic pack figures.
EDIT: Nobody can guess who's torso it is? Hint: it's a very cool joe figure, but very overlooked by Grunt4mvp since he only collected original ARAH until the 1988 line. So that should give you an idea which year to look into. Time to put that Mark Bellomo book to good use guys!

Yep! c'mon you sunk most of my battleship! What about the torso, I provided a hint in my previous post, can you guess?

Rampart is almost acceptable because his colour scheme is reasonable and his accessories cool. He was behind his time, so to speak.
But I never would have guessed him.
Paint any piece after 87 and it's probably unrecognizable to me. Your past/present project is positively, perfect produced. (3 words in I decided to commit to the alliteration...)

Thanks Grunt. So far, you always posted in my customs thread which is appreciated, which is why I also had you "involved" in the hint I gave to others to guess what torso piece I used on Shiver.
Just to let you know that the idea came from both Neo and I. He actually mentionned something in a post about a possible Timbit custom, that triggered me to send him a PM, but I'm pretty sure he was sending me a subliminal message in the first place ;D. Glad you like our project!
Well, with only one JC character left to make it into the past and present thread, Black Ice, who knows what else we will decide to do. Only time will tell.
