This is a second attempt to do Snake-Eyes a little justice that I feel I missed on my first attempt.

I am currently reworking Stalker and Shipwreck -- I have Recondo, Gung Ho, and the Black Major in the parts gathering stages as well as researching the Red Shadows.

Sweet! Being a big Joe, and Mego fan, I can truly appreciate the hard work you did bringing the detail of the 3 3/4" figures up to the 8" scale. True to both GI Joe and Mego, Awesome! Oops...forgot to mention that your Low Light rocks to :wink_y: -Will

This looks pretty intense. How did you get the black fabric to look so alive? You did that with a dye job? I might be interested in learning more about the steps you took to get that dye job to look wild like that!

Shipwreck and Stalker are going through a re-do process. :smile: Thank you everyone for the kind words. These guys were definately a lot of fun. And "Thanks Again" to all the cool people here who are always willing to Share/Trade and Sell parts and stuff -- you guys are what makes the hobby fun!!!

NEAT!

Those are fantastic! I've always wanted to make the Joes, and it's nice to see someone like Low-Light given a little attention.
