Last vehicle i did was the Anaconda (see previous posts), but I felt that Destro desperately needed his own ride.


here's the Despoiler...

It's been a very long time since I posted a new custom... no inspiration and really busy.


But, here's Vandoos


The Royal 22nd Regiment, in French and officially (in both French and English usage) Royal 22e R?giment and colloquially The VanDoos (an anglicized pronunciation of the word twenty-two, vingt-deux, "22" in French), is an infantry regiment of the Canadian Army. The mostly francophone regiment comprises three Regular Force battalions, two Primary Reserve battalions, and a band, making it the largest regiment in the Canadian Army and the largest francophone regiment in America.

Crystal Ball, weird character and kind of useless, I never really used him when i was a kid. With this "not-that-popular"character, I wanted to keep the gypsy background. I tried to give him a less gimmick-feel by dropping the shield, I'll let you see what I replace it with.

This looks pretty good. Although I'm not a huge fan of the red eyes. I like him better then the original.
Nice work.

Not very active lately and life is moving so fast, but managed to find inspiration to create my own version of Fast Draw. He wasn't one of my favorite as a kid, but I think it turned out pretty good, what do you think?

After Fast Draw, here's the last of the carded figure of '87. Sneek Peak was probably the only carded figures from that year that i never played with, he had this huge green periscope tower that was kind of silly carrying around. I tried here to give him a more "mobile" gear with the helmet cam and the drone. The colors are much darker, that light grey and bright red didn't really worked IMAO


your thoughts and feelings on this?

Some really nice customs here. Nice paint apps. I like your "updates" on the characters that don't have the existing parts to make them look like their original ARAH figures. I have trouble reimagining a lot of the figures, so this gives me inspiration to take those characters in a little different direction.
