Thanks for the kind offer. She's finished bar painting. The base figure is the woman from Force Unleashed, though I've added a flak jacket, hat, changed the cuffs and added longer pants. Also, I use milliput black and when half dried I've made a holster and straps for a dagger, so she's quite different. Essentially she's to pad out my troops. The figure is less articulated than a 25th Goe, but scale wise sh should fit in OK.

I'm obseesed with avoiding paint rub (so I'll swap feet etc to get a close match - barracuda has crimson guard feet as I didn't want grey marks showing through where the joints were), so I wouldn't personally paint a Scarlett balck, but that's just me LOL!

I have a Cobra ParaViper on order for a Sparrowhawk custom, a further Snake Eyes for a SAS Trooper (generic) and I'll make another generic Commando.

Beaver, Stakeout will be down the line, and as for Chopper and Blades, I'm not sure whether I'll be doing those for a long time.

was checking the para-viper out myself for a sparrowhawk 25th custom.
you've given me some brilliant ideas for some 25th customs but before i start these i have to finish my vintage gi joe sas strike team. going to use Ripcord for that sparrowhawk also using a scrap iron fig for a chopper custom which is about 50% finished.
with work, family and studying i dont have much time to work on customs at the mo.
where are you getting your 25th figs from?? the guy i was buying off in the states has pretty much tripled his prices in the last few months and i'm looking for a new seller. need to catch up with the few figs i'm missing before more are released.
all the best
Bill

heres my first sas custom-

Love the custom, youve chosen exactly the same body parts as I have for my version...

Bill, I usually try eBay or Forbidden Planet

Here's my Quickfire. He can have the 25th/Modern head or the classic head, reshaped and dremelled out.

Bill, love the SAS custom. Looks like a great body and I like the attachable mask! Which body is it? Ripcord?

I'll make you a double Tap filecard if you like! :eagle2:

Here's two more...

Firstly, Hunter - a much easier custom than the early 25th repaints purely because the Python Patrol figure is black with gey boots. HUGE thanks to the guys who have done this on the customs page, esp GunslingerCBR who's design I copied!!!

For my SAS Snowtrooper, Ghost, I've sculpted a SAS mask on Snow Job and painted his skin underneath Afrocarribean. Araldite resin was used again for the eye lenses and it works well, but hard to see that here.

Awesome customs!
The new Shockblast (Shockwave) figure comes with a gas mask which would fit in very well.

Awesome, there's a new one on my want list, thanks Goldbug. I have the V1 near mint, but that 25th guy's just gagging for customising.

:chopper:

PS, why Shockblast and not Shockwave?
