    Shipwreck -- 2nd try

    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.









    and an updated group shot:



    Recipe:

    Body -- Type 2 -- CHIPS
    Head -- Paco -- repainted cowboy (David Lee -- Make more of these heads!!!They are useful!!!)
    Pants and shirt -- CTVT - Happy Days jeans and Ralph Malph shirt dyed evening blue -- sleeves cut down -- rolled and glued. buttons from a CHIPS shirt added and painted. patch added by me from internet pic.
    t-shirt -- CTVT
    Boots and sailor cap -- AJ (sailor cap placed in boiling water, shaped and then stuck under cold water to hold shape.
    gun belt -- bits and pieces
    gun -- paco pirate pistol reworked
    tattoos -- internet -- testors decal maker (me)
    grappling hook -- $ store gladiator axe chopped up
    parrot -- $ store pirate -- repainted
    Don't be sorry. How would you know? You've been watching MTV all your life.

          I'm sure there's a Village People joke here somewhere....

          Seriously though, a great-looking group of Joes.

                  Nice work, specially like the extra touch of tattoos.

                    Wow. Very cool. That would have been an awsome series to play with growing up.

                          I'm not really a Joe fan, but he is cool none the less. Excellent use of different parts. And that parrot he really, "rawks!"
