I started to work on a new Joe team a few weeks back simply titles "The Vets". The idea behind it is simple, not every biker is thug or Dreadnok wannabe. One day while waiting for Clutch to finish some custom work on their bikes, Grizzly and L.K. (Lady Killer) were at local bar, playing a game of pool. In walks Dreadnoks Thrash, Zanzibar and Monkeywrench laughing at the "poor Joey" they just beat up for not giving them free repairs. Grizzly and L.K. are former war vets and don't take kindly to people ganging up 3 to 1 on anyone, so they wipe the floor with the Dreadnoks, sparking a Dreadnok vs retired Vet feud. 

While not officially part of the G.I. Joe team, they are welcomed allied and sometimes informants for G.I.Joe.

These guys are my favorite current project and I want to add at least one more figure to the set.

I was doing a black rit dye job and threw in some leftover parts. Not sure if I like him or not as I'm tired of doing black rit dye jobs but it is easy to work with. He reminds me of Black Ice.

SDS head
Zartan resolute body, upper arms and web gear
Air Raid Legs
Neo Viper lower arms.

The new Iron Grenadier is a cool figure but once Hasbro cut back on costs and removed the multi paint layers off the figure he was a boring grey.

For once going black made sense, so I gave him a turn in the rit dye, painted the helmet by hand and gave the arms a red base on the pads followed by a dry brush silver coat.

Works perfectly with the 25th anniversary Iron Grenadier figures and is totally safe to play with.

Thanks! To be honest I was on the fence about the Black Cobra I made. I've very tempted to paint him brown and green but then I'd have to worry about paint cracking, etc... So for now I'll leave him "as is". Still, I'm just not sold on that one.

Maybe a cool name for him would change my opinion.

For now I'll call him "Storm Tracker Strike Viper".  ;)

As for the beard on the other Joes, all those heads I've been working with are from Slayer Design Studios.

They have a new one up that looks pretty cool that I want to work with and maybe make a new version of Shiver:

My favorite to date of all customs / projects I've worked on is Metal Head. I LOVE this figure. Totally playable and I've been planning this one for a couple of months. Once I had the parts I had it done in a few days.

Body and legs: Recondo
Upper Arms: Neo Viper
Lower Arms: Resolute Zartan
Backpack and gun from Duke. The backpack makes a lot more sense on Metal Head then it did with Duke.
Head: SDS http://slayerdesignstudio.3dcartstores.com/Head-44_p_2129.html

Popped the body apart, rit dyed the lower body, legs, back and arms and back pack all black. Hand painted the chest black, straps grey, clips on straps silver, shoulder pads and shin guards red and of course flesh tones on face and neck, hair goggles, etc...

This figure is the main reason why I recently did a black dye job. All the other figures that I've posted recently that are black were just thrown in the pot so I didn't waste the dye.  ;)
