First- it's not really all that custom- I'd equate this to doing a wheel swap on a Hot Wheels- it turned out cool- but I didn't do so much customizing to it as add some enhancements.
This is a early 90s Gi Joe named Sgt. Savage. He is clearly Sgt. Rock's twin brother- so much so, that they had Joe Kubert do the box art. I couldn't find any other 11 inch figures in the Sgt. Savage line up, but there were numerous 3.75 Savage figures- including a kick-***** WWII P40 plane. He came with a ridiculous over-sized machine gun and an awful over-size rubber combat belt.
His clothes were already a little battle shredded- but I added a lot more damage as well as some paint and decided he needed a good ammo belt. Then I figured he needed an upgraded side arm....and correct sized dog tags....then knife....then ammo pouches..and helmet...and his bullets needed some color...and then the stock helmet looked too cheesy...and on and on. So, a little extra combat damage to his clothes and helmet and a lot of upgraded accessories.
Last - I'd love opinions on the grenade belt above the combat belt. Too much? Just right? I bought the belt thinking it'd be big enough to go over the shoulder opposite the bullet bandolier but it wasn't even close.
