Mountain Warfare By Soulgem
Code name: Front Point

Always ready with a solution to any possible situation, a mountain climber comes prepared for the worst. That was also one of the reasons Alexander Blanchard was contacted when the G.I.Joe went looking for a mountain trooper.

At age 6 he started mountain climbing, when he was 8 he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, at the age of 10 climbed Mt. Elbrus on his 10th birthday. By the time he was 16 he had completed the Seven Summits challenge, a task most climbers can't complete in a lifetime. He is an expert with all conventional fire arms, and a highly skilled survivalist, Front Point is a valuable asset in G.I.Joe's battle against the evil forces of Cobra.


Parts and accessories:

Head: Clutch v3
Chest: Capt. Grid-Iron
Arms: Sneek Peak
Torso: Alpine
Legs: TF Outback

Machine Gun: Marauder
Ice Pick: Alpine
Backpack: Cobra viper pit
Black string

Cowboy Tex By Carnage717

For my custom I decided to go for a more authentic cowboy look as compared to a modern cowboy. I wanted to do a custom that would put my painting skils to the test so I opted fora more weathered look to his cloths like an Old Time Western Cowboy would have. The horse is just a standard issue PTE horse but he has been completely repainted and the PTE Saddles has been modified to give it stirups, a bunk roll and even a rifle sheath.

Parts and accessories:

Head: 25th Duke
Torso: 25th Duke
Legs: Shipwreck
Arms: 25th Ace

Accessories:
Holster: 25th Wilde Weasel
Hat(Modded): VvsV Wild Bill
Gun: unknown guns
Horse: PTE Horse and saddles.
Bunk roll: Starwars Jedi Robe
Gun Sheath and Stirups: Custom Made

Carn, you need to say who did which figure for us. ;)


Grip, nice Eel there. Love the look.

Soul, Nice parts combo. Like the head use here.

Carn, awesome stuff. Great way to make a cowboy there. :D Great job modding the saddle for the holster.

Nice work on all of them. The Cowboy is my favorite with the Cobra Eel not far behind.

Since the judging is pretty much over for this I figured I post my judges scoring for you guys.

Team Soulgem

Team work: Right off the bat these guys earn a +1 for helping each other out to turn this project in. I would have liked to have seen a more cohesive group of customs but these are really good none the less. 11/10

Figure breakdown 32/30

Cobra Eel (diver): Great parts, good paint, great accessories, 10

Front Point (mountian climber): good parts, ok paint, good accessories, great addition of the climbing powder pouch, diorama figure photo (+1), 11

Cowboy Tex: ok paint, great parts, great accessories including a painted horse (+1), 11

Bios/background
Only 1 1/2 submitted by this group (-4). Lacked a group unity for the customs as a group (-1). Front Point's bio was the best out of the entire project (+1). 6/10

Overall 49/50
