Here are a few customs in progress, a lot more are already completed and i'll post better pics of all this weekend... Sorry for the poor quality but I had to use my camera phone, comments welcome please, if you can see what you are looking at, they do look a lot better and more detailed than are shown.

Red Shadows...

Image

Black Major, Ironblood in Shadow disguise and Red Shadow soldier. All of these three use the original head but im still not sure about the Black Major, he has some cool stubble which looks a bit sh*t here...

Image

4 Later era Red Shadows without helmets, ive used a lot more paint wipe on these to make them look a bit dirty...

Image

Unknown, Skeletron and Red Vulture. Not sure what the first guy will be but I liked the body parts together and the greyed hair. I had to change my mind on what Skeletron would be like after I saw this head, he has a robotic arm with a few attachments which makes him a bit more realistic than the original. Still trying to mak Red Vultures helmet fit...

Image

2 Red Shadow divers, pretty happy with these I just want more...

Image

Custom stalker using original snake eyes and SAS Big Ben. Sionce that was his Joe background I thought it would be cool to make an official member again...

Image

Wheels, Skip and Breaker, completed

Image

Unknown (ex crisom guardsmen / Fred turned Z Force), Scout and Z FOrce Wolverine Driver.

I note your Skeletron has a decidedly aquatic looking hand pincer thingy. Is it a dead Kraken?

Lol, NO! It came off a duplicate I had of a figure I gave to the prize draw, no idea what his name is or what it is exactly but it has a flame thrower thing on it too. He is sat in front of me and im wondering if its just as silly as the real Skeletron...

Very nice work :)
Loving the Z Force
Jointed Shad forces rule too, we must be on the same wave length with the claw, my new W.I.P features a very similar attatchment.

Cool work. I hate red Cobra guys, they should be Shads ;) I picked up in my last pile of pieces a 04? Crimson guard (headless but with Helmet - currently sports a spare Hawk head) and have been struggling to keep him as a guard and not Shadvert him. Got a HISS driver that's in need of a new torso and Jinx. Damn these Red figures. I do need a Shadowtrak driver, soooo.....

:chopper:

Jinx is the absolute perfect shade of Shadow red...
