This June 1st – 14th, I am returning to Niger, West Africa.
To help support my trip, I am offering up the chance to win a customized 3 ¾” GI Joe figure.


Here are the rules to enter the raffle:
  • - Each raffle ticket is $10.
    - The drawing will be held May 28th, 10 PM EST via webcam feed.
    - You may buy as many tickets as you want.
    - Three raffle tickets will be chosen.
    - Buy more to increase your chances of winning.
There are a few limitations on the custom figure:
  • - The figure will not be a remake of any custom.
    - Parts can be from any era of 3 ¾” figures.
    - Winner will not be required to donate parts, though this may limit the custom.
    - Only limited modifying/sculpting will be done.
Tickets can be purchased using Paypal (no credit cards) at this address: chad(at)smelcer(dot)net
or via check/money order (address is available here).
** It has been brought to my attention that paypal does not allow raffles. If you choose to add a title to your donation, please use this format: Mission Donation from your board name
Each ticket will be confirmed via pm or email with your raffle ticket number. If you do not receive a confirmation, please contact me.

i dunno chad_ghosts customs are pretty cool and i think in pretty high demand.
quite a novel approach for raising money as well.
it dosent say if you can choose your own choice of custom tho.

It's not for all, just looking for help. It gives someone a chance to decide what kind of custom he/she wants.

If you want to help, help. If not, don't. I won't offended either way.

does anyone have one of his customs? im trying to work out if they are still articulate? the paint seems nice & clean, (i really like matt finish) but looking at the joints i cant tell if paint wear would be a problem, to be honest it looks like it would?
having said that, i like some of the work. his red wolf is cool, if he'd repeat customs (he listed he wouldnt) i think that some people on here might be tempted.

Converting people? Is this a f*cking joke? Superiour whitey brings the fairytale of God to the nonbelieving blackman. This was OK a century ago, not today.
