Thanks Tim -

Nah, I just already made most every hero I needed to make. I still have Nova and some Sinestro Corps guys in the hopper, but I'm taking a break and getting back into Joes again (figure since I've been posting superheroes here at JoeCustoms for a year, it's time for me to actually post some Joe Customs )

Updated the 1st post with Hawk. I'm done updating - have to take a break from the paint fumes.

Cheers!

I like the 25th Hawk, but I'm still partial to your original Hawk. Theres just something about him that catches my eye and I think he is bad ass. (maybe its cause I copied that recipe for mine)

lol - me too -- that's why I didn't chop the old one's head off to make the new custom like I did with Flint

Thanks!

They all look great Chief. I agree completely about the beret. its like the piss cover we had for our uniforms it looks like s t and serves no purpose. may have to get another joe pack now to make a few customs.

I like your take on Rock 'n' Roll. I can totally see the character there. He's a bodybuilder but not a huge guy like Roadblock so his upper body would be pretty ripped like that. And Hawk looks good too. That head works really well.

Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us. Your and Spin Doctor's 25th figs have really inspired me to do some more.

The Hawk is, WOW. really nice take on the character.

Ok, so I lied about updates.......

Nice work on Hawk! Who's head is that. You should get him a Killuminati bomber jacket. And a beret for Flint

BBI Paratrooper dude (the one with all the camo on his face and the modern Army camo uniform.)

Dick.

Chief,

Great work on all of these guys. They look as good if not better than the ones Hasbro showed at the Con.

MAN ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS YOUR THE MAN WITH THE 25 ANNY CUSTOMS. AND I LOVE THAT HAWK.

Thanks X & Crowne!

Had a lot of fun with these LBCs. But I've got 3 more under construction now that required some actual work - should be able to post them tomorrow.

Thanks again for the comments, guys!

Beret-less Flint looks awesome. One of my favorite figure's of Flint is his Battle Crops version with the removable beret.

Hoot, big fan of the character in the movie. All he's missing is his sunglasses from the opening sequence and a wild boar.

Storm Shadow. Wow. Tlak about coming out of left field. Of all the 25th remakes I have to say I didn't see this one coming. Way to think way outside the box on this one. Tips for doing eyes. Really small brushes or ones with all but a few brssles removed. Don't breath when you are about to ake brush to face contact. Always have your flesh tone and white handy to clean up any trouble spots.

Hakw looks ok. There's something off with his sleeves and his face but I'm not sure what it is. The sleeves look like they're unfinsihed. The head has this dry sand blwon in his face look or something.

More to come? Woohoo!

I heard that the plastic toothpicks work good on painting the iris of the eyes. I am going to try that one myself.
