GI Joe SWAT/Steel Brigade Team

From Custom


This is a 3 person team that consisits of Shockwave, Bulletproof and Sure Fire. The primary ingriedient is a Hulk epic Tunnel Clash 3 pack since they are just Shipwreck/Footloose figures in a different color that have the same heads but Convention/Steel Brigade helmets glued on. the helmets can be removed if you boil some water and than pull them off. The heads are useless for good parts, but can be used as junk figures to practice painting or give to kids to practice painting.

Bulletproof
From Custom
Bulletproof is made by swapping out the lower arms of the figure with Valor vs Venom GI Joe Duke. He's than painted using a mix of brown, flesh, white red and black skin tones. His helmet was RIT Dyed. The weapon is also a custom.
The gun comes from a bbi MP5 with Marauder Inc Scope and double clip.

Shockwave

He's made from teh same base again. The head this time comes from a Chap Mei figure (I believe). The lower arms are also from a VvV Duke. The gun is made by taking a Marauder Inc HK-36C and cutting off the clip and slightly into the gun, than trimming the connecting tab of a Marauder Inc double drum Modular M4 clip, gluing them together.

Sure Fire

Same base again (big suprise). This time with a Han Solo Power of the Force 2 head.
