I made a Shipwreck a couple of years and I just was never happy with him. (Maybe because I never finished him.)
Well I finally found all the parts I needed and I am pretty happy with the results.

Cool! I'm not a huge Shipwreck fan, but I like this custom since I loved GI Joe when it was on. I know someone who shares his last name and every time I meet up with them, I mention Shipwreck. I'm sure they hate me for it. Great work on all these Joes. Lowlight is great too!

:grin:
