I've had these customs on the back-Burner for a year or two, and finally got them finished. I used the ROC Wild Bill for the body and Broken Arrow cast for the helmets.
LMK what you think.

Really fantastic-looking pilots. They seem to be an overall easy custom and came out great!

The loops are Parachute straps. I should have shortened them, so they did not sit so low on the legs. I'll fix it later.

Here is my latest batch. LMK what you think.

These customs were inspired by a crappy figure I found at the Dollar Tree, that I felt had a lot of potential. It's amazing how one paticular, piece of fodder can get the creative juices going. LMK What you think.

Fritz... I comment from time to time on your customs but ALWAYS check this thread to see your work. Your simple breakdown on the SWAT TEAM figure dropped my jaw. 8-10 different figures perfectly put together. You have a unique eye for customs...great work!!

Agreed! Great work as always and very kind of you to list the breakdown to help or inspire some of us who might attempt to do this

It's been very busy this year, with the two little ones and the honey do's list, but I've managed a few customs here and there.

Her is my Our War figures with a few fixes.

Here are a couple of insurgent I made for a fellow board member.

I found this great head sculpt on a Chap Mei figure, I thought it would looke better on a BBI body.

Saw some of those Treehouse figures at WM dumped for cheap. PIcked up a tent set for Star Wars customizing. Pretty slick.

I used some Dollar Tree ChapMei knock-offs to make this Cowboy Wolverine. The horse is a really cool piece, that I found at Tuesday Mornings. It is articulated and has Rubberized hide, that hides the articulated skeleton.
LMK What you think.

I thought the ROC Snake Eyes was a good base for a generic Modern Arctic Commando. LMK what you think.

I found this Trashed Kubel at a Toy Show, and picked it up for $10.00. I had to make a new windshield for it. This was my first attempt at salt weathering. LMK what you think.

Here is my complete Pickelhaube M-10 Tank Destroyer Kit.

This is my second Pickelhaub kit. I do not consider myself a modeler, but I've learned a lot working on this and the 222 kit http://forums.fighting118th.com/showthread.php?t=1563.

I had to grind out the inner frame hatches, with my dremel, in order to get them to close completely. I wish I would have done this prepaint, because it gave the M-10 one hell of a dusting, and took me over an hour to clean-up without ruining the decals or paint. The gun breach, was pretty difficult to clean-up. I had a hard time getting the bondo in that tight space, and sanding it down. So, I'm a little disapointed in how that turned out. If I do another, I'll hollow it out with the dremel, and have the gunner pushing a round in.

Overall I love the way it turned out, and it is the new jem of my 1:18 collection. Let me know what you think.
