\r\n I have never done anything more than frankenstein old RAH figures as a kid, but I want to customize my v2 25th SS into a Satan figure to lead my Red Ninja 25ths (when they come out). My question is what type of paint, brushes and tools do I need? Thanks!\r\n
\r\n I\'m really not a very good customizer, but I was wondering what other Joe scale toylines might have heads that pop off like the 25th anniversary Joes so I can do more head swaps. Do the Marvel superhero showdown figures have pop off heads that can fit on 25th figures. I know Cover Girl and Major Barrage have heads that pop off from the DTC line and can be made to fit on 25th figures.\r\n

Yes, the Marvel Superhero figures do have heads that pop off. \r\n \r\nAlso, Star Wars figures can provide you with plenty of customizing options. \r\n \r\nI saw an Obi Wan Kenobi that would make for an Awesome Rock and Roll.\r\n

I personally use Citadel paints for all my figures. Ive also used the occasional Testors Model Master Paint but not that often. Check your local comic shops or someplace that sells Warhammer items and they should have good paint selection there. As far as brushes go I use pretty much your basic brushs you can get from Michaels or any other hobby store. The only specialty brush I use is an 18/0 brush which is very small and use that for my eyes and small details. If you want to make a custom out of your v2 ss I would suggest disassebmling him as much as possible and they get yourself some white primer, below is a picture of what I use. \n \nhttp://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/101_4013.jpg \n \nFor the head I would just use some white paint to cover up the gray marks on the head and the repaint the head in red. After you have primed you figure you are ready to paint your figure. Once you are done painting I would also suggest putting a clear coat on the figure. ure and you have found some red paint your happy with let I would let the primer dry really good and then\r\n

I dont thanks Don. \nJust got a Kwinn fig, so Ive had a wee look for myself. \n \nGutted about the collar- I thought it would be fairly easy to remove- but it will need a fair bit of sculpey or a neck swap to work. \n \nSomeone else suggested using Backstop\'s head, and Im waiting to get one delivered and Ill see what thats like. \n \nAre you still thinking of doing the same fig?\r\n

\r\n Bit of an odd one, but how well does the greenshirt comic pack Hawk\'s head look on bacta tank Luke\'s body (not too concered about the flesh tones matching), or do you think it would at all?\r\n
\r\n what do I have to do to get joe\'s into 1/18 scale die cast cars. I bought 3 from sam\'s club and I have to remove the legs and waist to barbeque in them. any idea\'s on how to modify these things.\r\n
\r\n It pretty much has to be the broad-chested figures with the big shoulder-swivels, huh? If so, I\'m lookin at Flint v7 & v8, and Duke v12, v16, and v20. Any luck on those? \r\n

None of those work either. Duke and Flint have a flat bottom neck joint, while Zartan has a rounded full ball joint neck. You\'d have to try and modify the neck yourself to make the head fit. \r\n \r\nJust your typical inconsistency from Hasbro \r\n

Its fairly easy to modify neckballs into a new shape, either by sanding down the ball, or adding sculpey/green stuff to the t-shaped ones. \n \nFailing that, a neck-swap isnt all that difficult either, just a bit of a pain sanding the two surfaces down.\r\n

The v4 head fits the best, although due to the large neckball, it sticks out a bit. With a little modding to either the torso or neckball, it should work fine \r\n \r\nThe v7 head has a flat-bottom neck joint and causes the neck to be too short to fit properly in the torso\r\n

\r\n I\'m wondering if there are other lines of toys with pop off heads that are compatible with GI Joe\'s 25th anniversary figures besides superhero showdown figures. \n \nThanks\r\n
Can someone tell me if airtights legs, footlooses waist and capt grid irons torso go together?
\r\n \r\n
\r\n
\r\n
They can, but the legs and waist fit as well as the comic packs figures with the Roadblock v2 waist and TBC Hawk legs. \r\n \r\nThe Footloose waist is a little large for the Gridiron torso, but it does fit\r\n

\r\n Thank you, the picture was very helpful. I\'m using my vintage Cover Girl in a Dio story, but her hands are so small she can\'t hold a gun, so I thought it was time for a custom. \nEdit: Also, the ninja force Scarlett head I put on Cover Girl\'s body is just to big, so it might look better on a bigger torso. (another reason for a new custom)\r\n
\r\n I have picked up a few of the golden compass figures at a local Big Lots , the accessories are well painted and they go nicely with the 25th Joes.I got a parka, bow and arrow, some animal skins worn as a coat ,a couple of revolvers ,and a few animals a rabbit, a warthog(mmmm bacon) and a white chetah or bobcat or some kind of cat , all I know is Timber is totally going to tear this thing up. Also the heads are ball jointed like the Joes .\r\n
Next enquiry-
does Guillotine (Plague trooper leader)s head fit on an Eel v1 body?
Also, will someone recommend a good green for DPM/woodland camo.
I tend to use Citadel/Warhammer paints, and havent really found a suitable shade.
TIA Chris
