This is my first post on this site I have been collecting and customising for years and never had anywhere to show them until now!!

I have quite a few figures that I'd like to share as and when I get round to doing the pictures LOL.

I will start with my latest work first though and it's Shipwreck from GI Joe taking me back to my childhood.

Well what can I say about this figure! Basically I had some parts lying around and I set myself a challenge, the body was just something cheap I'd brought off eBay a while back simply to be used as a mannequin for when I'm making clothes for figures Etc.

The plastic looked really cheap and horrible it very glossy and shiny so I used some Citadel purity seal or munitorum varnish as its now called, that took the sheen away I then used red pastel dust to try and blend it to match the head as much as possible and give it as much realism as possible.

The head, boots, and gloves were all won in job lots on eBay over the years which I never used.

I think the hat is a reproduction action man 40th anniversary? I can't remember

The shirt, trousers, belt, and wrist straps were all made and sewn by myself.

The arm logo's were designed by my wife I'm sure it's iron on vinyl? I think thats what she said anyway LOL (she makes t-shirts etc and has a cutting machine for logo's and designs)

The grapple hook is from playmobile which I added the string to.

He's just missing his parrot!!

I know the shirt should be a lighter blue and he had more of a beard but I had to work with what I had.

I also made the gun holster.
