Title: Custom 25th Joe Canuck
Post by: NeoDragonKnight on February 28, 2009, 06:30:19 PM

Hi guys, long time lurker, and read of Joe Canuck.  Here is a custom I did of our beloved hero, and my cut and paste post Ive put on a few customs board, hope you enjoy!


Ive become a big fan of the JoeCanuck newsletter (I suggest you all subscribe, its free! JoeCanuck.com - A Canadian based message board and virtual HQ of the Canadian Joe Meet (http://http://www.joecanuck.com), some of the best Joe related quality articles ever) and learned about all the custom exclusive figures theyve had over the years at the conventions.  Realizing Id never get my hands on any of the great exclusive figures theyve had, I decided to do the next best thing and make my own.  Im starting with JoeCanuck (Canadian pride I guess).  The last touch I have to do is add a Canadian Flag somewhere, its also the first time Ive tried a wash, I like how it turned out.

Also, I wish Hasbro would use "weathered" paint apps like the custom guys do. Those Snow Serpents look bland in contrast.
