My 1983 / 1984 crew looks more complete now
« on: May 28, 2012, 08:35:42 PM »

1983 Stalker and his Tan version :-)




1983 Rock 'N' Roll and his Tan version :-)




1983 Hawk and his Tan version :-)



1983 Breaker and his Tan version :-)  I should have use Clutch legs for his Tan version instead of Grunt... but too late :-(



All the family (with Grunt and Clutch)

I know some of these are bootlegs and some of them you said you had painted by others (Tomax and Xamot). Can you give us a break down of who painted which figure? I always like to put a name to the work.  ;)

That aside, I like the look of the Tan troopers. The base looks good but they need something to break up the colours. Maybe some stickers from Cobrastickers.com.

Yes, that was the plan... but I got the message "you can't edit your post..." and I gave up... These are from:

Matthew (Joe customs) --> For the painted one: Tomax, Xamot, Tele-Viper, Airborne, Repeater and Shockwave
Me --> All the Tan version (getting all the parts from Tan Grunt and Tan Clutch), 100% chip proof!
Tri State Viper --> Black Viper, 100% chip proof!
Can't remember from who... that's a shame! --> The Black Cobra commander, 100% chip proof!
The Black Major --> For the rest, 100% chip proof! I even made a custom from one of the Black Major using Sneak peak arms and legs on a Stinger soldier  :D

Good idea, for the Tan Joes, I like these:

Those tan versions all look amazing!  I know getting all those original parts couldn't have been easy - maybe you could modify one of the Black Major's "Plague troopers" to be a tan Snake Eyes.
