Hey guys,

Here are my first customs, LBC's!
I really like them myselves, and I'm probably gonna pose them between the real Joes. To me, they have quite an authentic look.
I appreciate any comment on them: on the names or biographies or on the language I've used (yep, not that good at English ). I'm receptive to all new ideas and names for them, so please feel free to comment upon the four!!!

First one
Codename: Drudger
Jungle Warfare Specialist

Name: McCraigh, Joseph
Birthplace: Indianapolis, Indiana
Primary Military Specialty: Jungle Warfare
Secondary Military Specialty: Ranger
Filecard:
As a kid, Drudger was fascinated by the Vietnam War. He went straight into the army after highschool. Passed through Ranger and Jungle Warfare Training Centre to become a specialist in jungle combat. General Hawk noticed his passion, knowledge and battleskills and did some research of his career. All his former commanders and trainers told the general the same thing: he’s the strongest, toughest and most motivated soldier under any circumstance. Even after a week with only eight hours of sleep, dirty wet clothes and all the nasty things you can imagine in a jungle, he’s always the first to get going on and complete the job. Plus, he never complaints. He doesn’t even talk all that much. Just a calm and introvert man, but his deeds just speak for themselves.

Nice work. the colors go together well. It's rare to see an all new combination of old parts that no one has discovered yet.

Second one
Codename: Snowcuffs
Arctic Guard / MP

Name: Davidson, Glenn
Birthplace: Juneau, Alaska
Primary Military Specialty: Arctic combat
Secondary Military Specialty: Military Police
Filecard:
No idea yet.........

Third one
Codename: Sgt. Screwdriver
Techno Viper Sergeant

Name: Miller, Roger F.
Birthplace: Houston, Texas
Primary Military Specialty: Battlefield Technician
Secondary Military Specialty: Engeneering

Filecard:
Techno Vipers don’t just run after Cobra tanks to wait for them to break down in a fight. Someone has the overview, command and expertise to decide what needs to be repaired first and in what way. That’s sgt. Screwdriver’s task. Cobra Commander wasn’t satisfied about the time Techno Vipers needed to fix the problems armored vehicles faced in battle, especially in major battles. He promoted the smartest, best skilled Techno Viper to get more effective field maintenance support.
General Hawk: “Subject is a real nutcase. Why else would he repaire damaged vehicles right in the line of fire and always with that crazy smile on his face!?”

I like Drudger and Screwdriver but Snowcuffs doesn't really work.
Not only do ninja pants and leg wrappings not work on a snow guy, but also the waist doesn't really flow well with the torso's coat look.

Fourth one
Codename: Bengal Viper
Bengal Tiger Trooper or Anti Tiger Trooper

Primary Military Specialty: Jungle Warfare
Secondary Military Specialty: Demolitions
Filecard:
Bengal Vipers are specialized jungle forces who, just like the Python Patrol, fight the Tiger Force as their only goal. They mainly operate in all the tropical rainforests over the world. Actually, the Python Patrol wasn't succesfull enough, so by order of Cobra Commander these forces were formed. The Vipers are selected from the ranks of Range Vipers. They're highly motivated to destroy the Tiger Force since they've heard rumours about what happened to the former Python Patrol after their failure. Plus, Cobra Commander put an ridiculously high price on the head of each TF member........

NICE!

I like the Bengal Tiger best, but they all work nicely.

And Sgt. Screwdriver is a GREAT name! Sounds like a CORPS! figure.

_________________

I like them all.

I have to concur with the ninja parts comment though, the boots do not seem to work for me, but the concept is great overall.

_________________

Drudger is my favorite. I'm going to take a look at those parts when I get a chance. Bengal Tiger is another sweet looking figure. Screwdriver is just odd, but in a good way. Like I could see him working with Big Brawler and Dr. Mindbender on some JoeCustoms project. I agree with everything others have said about SNowcuffs. In this instance similar coloring isn't enough to pull off a figure.

_________________

Sweet figs, I'd change lower legs on snowcuffs.

I wish everyone put full file cards out for their figures, pretty sweet.

_________________

Nice customs though Snowcuffs like many others have said needs different feet.

I also think he could use a belt (like Crosshair's belt).

Those are great, first time or not!

your english is just fine it seems to me.

These LBC's are great.

Nice work, especially with Bengal Viper.

_________________

Over all I love your parts choices and eye to match patterns and colors...Great job...I may just have to go dig out some parts for an LBC or two of my own.

Drudger...I'd find him a different head...that Dialtone head just dosn't fit your bio...at least not to me anyway.

Snow Cuffs...Like everybody else said...he needs new lower legs...some wintery boots or somthing and maybe a beird...anything to cover that goofy Law Grimmace.

Sgt. Screwdriver... Solid looking figure...I've always loved that match between Techno Viper's and Dr. Mindbender's pruple. I think I'd get some different arms...I love to default back to BAT v1 arms with different uppers...but maybe somthing else...hydro Viper, toxo Viper, or SeaSlug could all be possible donars.

Bengal Viper...I love and hate this figure...I love it cuz it looks awesome...it's a great blend of colors for the environment...and that all black Cobra head looks really good... I hate it cuz you've used Night Force Light Foot legs and arms...and I can't find a good NF Light foot for a price I'm willing to pay...no way I'd find enough to make a few Bengal Vipers for myself... I think you could also tweek the Bengal Viper's bio a bit...right now it's pretty cheese heavy...like V1 Big Braweler's.
