1:18 UH-1B Huey and G.I. Joe's Wild Bill

Decades later, Wild Bill is finally reunited with his trusted steed: The UH-1B Huey!

Yes, he fits in the pilot's seat!

A quick shot of the interior and this looks exactly like those old Vietnam war movies! More to come ;)

Joe Colton in a suit

While working on a custom project, I had enough leftover black paint to check how General Joe Colton would look in a suit. What do you think ?

Marauder's 1911A1 .45 pistol is the most detailed out there. Order yours here:

Custom Big Boa

I know that there's a new Big Boa this year but I could not justify $$$ for a repainted body with a new head and accessories. So, here's my Custom Big Boa with a similar recipe. I left out a few details, differently, to give him an alternative look. I haven't tried paint removal without causing health problems so I foresee Big Boa wearing a cobra arm band, in the near future. Now, if I could just find boxing gloves...

Sky Patrol is Halfway there

I guess being halfway there deserves a group shot! Did I mention 3 to go ? I meant four to go. The next one is being customised :)

Sky Patrol Airwave

Took me all day and lots of last minute parts change to finish this guy. Still not done but it's just a matter of hair colour and weapon painting. Enjoy!

The main reason why I didn't buy any POC or 30th Vipers...

Opened up 25th Anniversary Cobra EELS

Just opened my long overdue EELS army. Includes specialist EELs like Para-Vipers and Snow Serpents. In the large containers are MP-5 submachine guns and aquatic gear for every EEL.

Testing female new sculpts

Just testing if the T-Bar and body parts fit. Haven't done custom action figures for the longest time. Time to break that record.
