thanks folks for visiting this thread.





anyway, im back with a couple of G.I. Joe characters' QUICK KICK and CUTTER.



G.I. Joe CUTTER (Hovercraft Pilot)




(Coast Guard lieutenant, junior grade)
The only United States Coast Guard member ever represented in the A Real American Hero line. A persistent man who would do anything to get what he wants, Cutter insisted on being on the Joe Team when he found out they did not have a representative from the US Coast Guard. The "B" on his ballcap is believed to be representative of the Boston Red Sox MLB team, often known as the underdog.



wip:





im falling inlove with the not so popular Joe characters...
just finally finished a coast guard hovercraft pilot joe character.
i love the color scheme of his costume, reminds me a lot of the new york knicks.
he's made up of ML movie punisher head and body, sculpted the collars, life vest, baseball cap, strap and holster, wrist watch and folded seeves.
i decided to repaint the whole face to achieve a more better face than of the movie punisher actor and added a moustache.


here is G.I. Joe's CUTTER















next is G.I. Joe's QUICK KICK.






im using an ironfist body with FO sabertooth head. yes, FO sabertooth.
modified the body, sculpted the chest (i have to sand down the left boobs), pants, arm bands, feet....

here are the wips for the meantime.

for the head, it's quite a challenge sculpting a new face feature...
as we all know the FO sabertooth has primate features as you can see here:


so i dremeled down the nose, mouth, jaw and the hair where the head band goes and resculpted all a new look...









i have to admit i am not quite happy with the outcome of the head. i was just trying something new, and i have learned a lot with this custom.
i still believe "TRIAL and ERROR is your number 1 Teacher"

so here is g.i.joe's quick kick.







thanks folks for looking!

Quick kick love - aaah. There is nothing some much wrong with the world now.

Nice sculpting. Paint could be a bit smoother for my taste though. Won't knock your work it just looks like there some flaws there but it might be camera stuff.
