UPDATE 12/31/08: Swapped out his arms for a set from Cobra Flint. (Which was suggested to me, it looks fantastic! They fit him much better and do not look too big like the ones I had on him from Bazooka
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____ This is my first 'Joe custom figure, I have done a vehicle, but this was the first time I have taken apart a figure. The biggest challenge was cracking open the torso, I practiced on a few figs I didn't care for before I did this This is a WIP no longer. He is done! I had never done it, and I'm not thrilled with how the camo pattern came out. That said, overall I am very pleased. The recipe is as follows: Copperhead torso/chest/upper arms Cobra/Tiger Force Flint forearms Serpentor thighs Duke lower legs/boots Dark 5cythe Sarge Combo kit - 2 heads (older and younger Sarge) Hat, glasses, baton and whistle I used Model Master Acrylic paints On to the pics: New pic:

It's because he knows who's next
Nice work, man. I can see what you mean by the camo on Sarge, though. Looks a little more like stripes. My suggestion would be to try using some brown and some black to help break it up a bit more. Still quite impressive, and I look forward to seeing it when you finish it.

I think it's a great job bro. I definitely can't pull that stuff off. I can barely take pictures!

And it might be a good idea to practice on the junkers I now have laying around. If I end up not liking it still, I will just leave his legs in the olive drab color like in the first pic, which isn't too bad, I just want to have the camo pattern look better, 'cause I want him to look as he did in the show, with the camo pants Thanks, man... But, I'm pretty sure you can take some nice pics

Nice work! It's true, some people are naturally good at customs, other's like myself would only make Frank-N-Stein looking figures.
The first picture looks like a scene from a scary movie. - Joke I wish Hasbro would make a Sgt. Slaughter/Fridge comic 2-pack!

Awesome, looking at it you'd never think it was a custom.

I thought Sgt. Slaughter owned the rights to his "character", like Hulk Hogan and WARRIOR (no seriously, that's the legal spelling with caps)?
Maybe a 3-pack with Fridge, Slaughter and that Steel Brigade(?) mail-away figure? The one you could customize with your own card file?

Oh, I agree. It's not like the license is being used for anything else, other than a classic series release a few years ago.
Hmm. New thread idea sense tingling...

Updated 11-25-08: New in progress pictures:I recieved the heads and hat today. I think I got the wrong order because I ordered a brown hat (Got green) baton and whistle (did not get them either)
I emailed him and hopefully it works out. But for now you get the idea. I am letting the green on the legs dry, I got some brown to redo the camo on his legs, and lighten up the neck, the fleshtone I used was dark, need to mix up a lighter color and fix that. Almost there enjoy:

Looking good, man. The balding head is a nice touch.

Updated 11-27-08:
I did some camo pattern on him again, came out a little better, I still want to touch it up and make it look more natural, but here is a couple new pics: Throwing around some BATs:

Nice job on the camo, he looks great. I really like the pic of him playing toss with the BATs. Awesome job, OS. Any more ideas on the horizon?
Oh and I found out that WWE still owns the rights to the Slaughter character, so it's up to the WWE and Jakks currently (to be replaced by Mattel in 2010).

I think the sculpt looks good. The camo looks better than it has. I'd just make sure and clean up the joints. Other than that it looks like a great figure.
