Description
Custom GI Joe figure made from various figures and parts. Scale is 3.75" or 1:18 or so. Early 2013
I had made this for a contest but I was late entering it. It was a good challenge, as I don't really focus on Cowboys or general know how to design them, but this one sort of fell together. Was and excellent experiment in some new painting techniques, as I used some powders/ground up artist chalk for weathering and such. I always like to try a new technique with each custom I do. Just need to do more of them.
Head: Renegade Duke w/Wild bill hat and sculpt.
Upper Torso: 20th Cobra Commander v1. Flint Web gear strap for the bandolier.
Lower Torso: same, but it's all cut down with an Indiana Jones belt I. Place and sculpted shirt.
Arms: ROC Desert Duke
Right upper leg, and lowers: 20th Crimson Guard. Sculpted and bulked up thigh to be more proportionate.
Left Upper: 20th cobra trooper with stupid hooks shaved off and replaced with a generic sculpted pouch.
Duster: From those various WW2 figures you can buy in 1/18th scale.
Shotgun: cut and sanded WW2 rifle. Added two toothpicks for the barrels, filled the wood grain in with sculptey.
Pistol: wild bill

Thank you very much. Like I said, it was pretty far outta my comfort zone (of Sci Fi and military tech sort of designs) so it was quite a challenge. Actually enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. Thanks again for your comments.
