Stunning work!

Which green paint is that, it's a dam close match to the original?

Hi Guys

Thanks for all the cool feedback. Have to say that it was all the awesome work on this site that got me motivated to begin my own collection. Living in the states means it is a little tougher to get my hands on original AF pieces, but I do have an abundance of Gijoes. Most of what I am doing is converting GiJoe stuff into AF versions with a few cool original customs mixed in.

Jim I have a small squad of the "tanker" Figures who serve as my drivers and I will get a pic of them ASAP.

I have an entire office filled of WIPS right now, some been sitting around for 2+ years... And the most important issue before starting was to get the correct Z-Force Green and in a format that could be used for mass production :) I ordered around 20 different cans from different manufacturers around the country and finally found an almost perfect match in a large can. The Color is CACTUS. I'll send on the # & Company info once I get home.

Next up is my take on the awesome Bridge Layer. I served as field engineer and sent many hours building pontoon bridges and blowing stuff up :)

Brilliant! Another ace custom :)
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

Hope everyone had a good festive Christmas and solid New Year's celebration.
One of my goals for this year is to clear up some space in my office by finishing off as many customs as possible.

These were done awhile back but have not had the time to upload anything.
Got more pics to upload later this week.
Thanks again for all the feedback
