    Snake-Eyes Second Try

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






    Recipe:

    Head -- One of my shrinks of a HOF guy
    hands - PM AJ
    Body -- wrestler arms, Rocky torso
    suit -- Famous Covers - Storm Movie suit with silver snipped off and re-dyed black
    belt -- Star Wars storm trooper ugly 7-8" toy that I stripped for parts.
    swords --$ store
    sais(?) and back deal -- spiderrouge parts lot I bought
    knee/elbow pads -- Real Heroes -- from Merlyn(Paul)
    knife -- PMAJ Ranger fig
    Gun -- dollar store
    crud!!! I just realized I forgot his pistol -- >:( -- well imagine it on his right leg from the $ store fig set.


    And a picture of the team at present...




    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.
    Don't be sorry. How would you know? You've been watching MTV all your life.

      Bravo!!! Now I see what you need those helmets and stuff for. Great use of the storm suit.

            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 -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. 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.

                              Snake Eyes looks awesome. Great job! Keep up the great work. I am anxious to see the others when you get them finished.
