A couple of months ago I saw that Alphasnake was looking for someone to help with painting some customs he was building and here is our journey…
It started with his W.I.P.s
They were sent to me with instructions and I got to work, really honing my skills as a painter, especially with the heads and eyes.
The end results,
This is a very biased opinion, but I feel these customs are the embodiment of great customs that I’ve seen today!
ECO-Force BBQ by JPNX
Now I know that this was from yesterday, but I think it’s awesome the way he brought out the design and color of the original figure and gave it a really cool modern look…
Next is Desert Grunt by Porcupunker
I love the combination of parts, especially the pouches on the vest. The head is a great choice and the paint wash gives it a realistic look.
Third is Vega Customs V4 Sgt. Slaughter. I like the blend of color washes and the Sarge looks Jacked and ready to tear some heads off those snakes!

Cheers!

Congratulations to Mayhem Custom Architect, NeuSpeaq and his incredible custom, Torch.
BFNE is a Facebook group and they had a trade event today at an amazing comic book store in Sommerville, MA, Comicazi.
I got to represent the OG13 and Mayhem customs andd meet some awesome fellow Joe Collectors along with the guys from Boss Fight Studio who had their upcoming figures on display. It was great time and an awesome experience that I got to share with my 4 year old son, who ended up with a pretty sweet haul for himself. I can’t wait to meet up with these guys again and spend more time talking about GI Joes.

“After the Zombie vipers broke loose of Cobras clutches the infestation swarmed through out the world, very few remain in the world these Joes have teamed up with Destro to make awesome lightweight powerful weapons… First in the series is Rock n roll. With his carbon lightweight rapid fire machine gun everything gets cut down with this weapon an his wrist gun with sharpened barrels for close combat.”

From the desk of BorisPing:
“As PMC style and other 12 inch figure style are popluar. When seeing first time, it’s amazing. But when there are so many shows without enough creativity , maybe all of that have bored the audiences. I remind myself that updating original figures and rebuild some classic figure which Hasbro missed is my intention of custom.
When I saw Collectors Club SURVIVALIST: OUTBACK, its choice of parts impressed me a lot. But I dont like they used Snow Job’s head repaint. So I decide make my own one with unused parts. I also hope they wouldn’t mind my borrowing their concept and making another fake club collectors figure.

From the desk of Mayhem’s Marine-73…
“So I have been looking at my shelves lately and it occurred to me that I have been updating all these other 25th characters but have neglected the OG13. with that I started modernizing them but in keeping with the ARAH design ideas as much as I could. Thanks for looking!”
