More of Morgardee's Customs
« on: October 12, 2011, 09:52:26 AM »
Things have been pretty quite around here lately.

I thought I'd post some more of my customs.

For now it's mostly those chrome SNAKES I mae a while back, but I'll add other stuff later.

This one was the first attempt at getting a SNAKE done in chrome red. As you can see, it came out looking more Orange:



Even I sort of scratch my head at that one. I have two of them so I'll probably sell one on Ebay some time. I just don't know what sort of demand there is am orange chrome snake. It's unique to say the least and I doubt you'll ever see another one anywhere else.

Maybe I'll just hang it from my Christmas tree...  :-\

BTW, anyone got a right arm for my Red Shadow figure? I forgot he had a broken thumb.

Hee hee. That'll work.

At least it sounds better then "Tangerine Trooper".

Wait, I got it now. It should have been for the Joes. It's Ice Cream Soldiers personal escape armour!

Thanks!

Here it is. The very last Chrome SNAKE I had made. This is a one off. The others I did in sets of 2 but made just one of this one.

My idea at the time was it was for Black Ice, as his personal escape armour.

In the first picture I have the standard Black One from Target for comparison.

If you're going to sell the orange chrome SNAKE, describe it as "copper"!
I love the pictures of Black Ice getting helped into his suit, like diving gear.

Great! I love it! Like formbx257 said, I like this scenario. It makes it very original.

Thanks for sharing!

Everyone has their own take on the Steel Brigade figures. I like the outfits but hated the masked heads that come under the helmet, so I fixed that. In my G.I. Joe world, Steel Brigade don't get cool codes names until they rank, so they give themselves code names.

There's a Slayer Design head in there, couple of JvC heads, one Hulk Buster trooper head and a Rampage head in the mix.



From left to right they are: Grizzly, N00b, Reed (team leader), Playboy and Red Neck.
