Those Nick Fury customs KICK BUTT!

I'm slowly getting back into custom figures after a couple of years doing mainly Star Wars models, but here's what I was up to before my break-

Some of the modern GI Joe figures can be converted into kickass SHIELD specialists- like Stalker here...

Ready to kick ass!








I also took the excellent Renegades Snake Eyes (my alltime favorite) and upgraded him into an agent of SHIELD and BPRD- 'cause nothing's cooler than a secret agent that's also a mute, horribly scarred, monster-hunting ninja badass!


I just painted his forearms black, added the SHIELD emblem on his chest and the BPRD emblems to both arms and then went over the black areas some, darkening them. I also added some Steel paint to his knee and boot armor. I Dullcoated him, greatly adding to his overall look- nothing makes a fig look better than Dullcoat- it takes off that plastic shine and really gives the fig a lookof having cloth on, instead of being a hunk of shiny plastic. I painted those damn leg screws as well...SO annoying that those never get paint on Joe figs!

Next is my favorite custom to date- a SHIELD armored trooper- taking the basic look of the Mandroids from Avengers: EMH, I used a deep Dive iron Man armor, added machine guns to the search light dimples on the gauntlets, a new unibeam, insane super gatling gun on his back, missiles on his shoulder and a new helmet from a Halo ODST micro figure thingier.
Then I went nuts with painting and weathering and added a bunch of decals and such...and a comms antenna.
Here he is next to Snake Eyes- you can really tell it's the right scale to hold someone 1:18th scale!
