Here are a few new customs I've had sitting around for a while. Three of them were in my S6 dio at the con and the fourth is something I still need to work on.

First up, the G.I. Joe doctor, Doc. Made from an Adventure Team Recondo body, Spirit hands and modified Lockdown head.

Next up is another Joe Marine, Leatherneck. Made from a Gung-Ho body, CS Leatherneck head (modified) and a custom cap.

Here we have my new unmasked version of the Combat Squad Torpedo. CS Torpedo body with a modified Flint head. I still need to smooth out the face where I removed the hair strands but for now he'll do.

And finally the first of 3 Cobra Vipers I'm going to make. Lockdown body with a Cobra Firefly head and SSD helmet.

Even though I despise S6, those are pretty good. Especially liking that Torpedo.

Really cool. I did a similar thing for my S6 Torpedo (used the Flint head on a scuba Duke body), but I didn't cut the hair strands because I didn't want to have to re-paint everything (I knew I'd screw it up.) Cool idea using the Duke helmet for the Viper.

Doc is easily my favorite - reall awesome job on him.

I have no clue about the S6 figures, but I like these. Specially Doc's huge boots.
The only thing is Leatherneck and his clothes. I'm used to seing him in camo, while these are plain green. I'm not sure if it would be better with camo or not though..

I planned on painting the Torpedo head anyway (he's Hawaiian so I wanted his skintone to reflect that) so it wasn't an issue. I do need to smooth out the cheeks a bit more but its hard.

As for camo on Leatherneck, I considered it but I wanted him to fit in with the other figures in the line so simple solid colors were the way to go.

Glad you guys like 'em!

Wow, Doc looks really bad!
His head also looks like that leader from the C.O.P.S.-cartoon.

S6 is not my thing, but you made Doc and the Trooper flawlessly. Outstanding.
