From the workshop of StarWarsGeek:
“Made this from a Spider-Man Legends Electro figure from the ASM2 line. Scratch built belt and harness out of several 1:18 belts pieced together.
Question… hexagram on outfit sleeve or no? I haven’t added it yet but planned on it, but after discussing it with some people, they claim it’s not supposed to be there and is wrong.”

From the desk of vince_chua:
“After making my Hardmaster custom, I needed to make an update of his apprentices Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Storm Shadow is an easy custom, but Snake-Eyes required slightly more work. The only thing missing is the Soft Master, whom I hope I’ll be able to make one day. Hope you guys like my customs.”
From the desk of Crimson Gord:
“This is a figure I made for my Mayhem brother, tankster. It’s a little concept I thought was cool and wanted to try for myself, not to mention I’ve never done a ninja before, never done a Snake Eyes and rarely do Joes. Hope you guys like it.”

From the workbench of GIMark, of Bedlam Customs fame:
“Hola amigos! This is my first vehicle custom done about a year ago, just wanted to share with my new pals here. This is one of my all time favorite Joe vehicles, this particular version is actually a couple of different ARAH versions; a Python Patrol version is the body, and the top and bottom stabilizer wings are from an original one, which took some tooling as they were apparently not from the same mold.”
This weeks showcase from the One Shot Picture Thread comes from SIC DETH
