Hey great job, man. I like the sculpting work you did. Looks like the texture they use on the 25th Anniversary Beachhead and Firefly!

Thanks, I'd love to take credit for the sculpting but really the only sculpting I did was the collar and remaking the lines on the Beach Head shoulders and elbows after I sanded them down somewhat so she wouldn't look so manly. The torso I bought from a casting site called Angel Forge which has an absurd amountof 3.75 custom heads and torsos to buy.

Re: Packerbacker Customs Uno Solo custom p. 77

Quick Jacen Solo custom I finished while working on a few more difficult customs. Simple combo of a ESB Luke body with modified arms (even though they're dame gangly), a farm boy Luke belt, and a Jacen Solo head cast from Watto's Scrapyard. Jaina seemed a bit lonely.

Yeah, I only know what I've gleemed from articles. I've never read any of the novels from that era, but from what I've read a lot of them would've been better than the ST

Packerbacker Customs Pelli Pelli! p.77

Postby packerbacker180 » Sat Mar 13, 2021 5:06 pm

Spent a lot of time on this one trying to get some shades in the face while giving her a bit of a dirty face, sadly it doesn't show as well in photos as it does in person. I know I should probably work on some other corner of the galaxy because Hasbro will make a bunch of Mando characters eventually, but I'm impatient and Wattos Scrapyard makes some damn cool heads so...

Back when Devil's Due had the license, they Cobra Commander took the best from the various trooper armies Cobra had, and along with some specialists, created a team called The Plague to try and replicate the success the Joes had with individual team members as opposed to a faceless army. All the members dressed similarly to form a formidable force. It's a shame the series only ran 30+ issues as I really enjoyed it.I have designs to make the entire team, for some reason I started out with Munitia, who turned out being a two year project of frustration. The rest should be much easier. Hopefully.

I must admit I haven't followed G.I. Joe since Sigma Six and some of the classic editions by Sideshow (I had to retire getting them after a while because of the high prices). With that being said, I gotta say wow, you made her really great :o She looks like she really means business. Great face sculpt, paint & color tone on multiple levels. I love her lipstIck and Cobra logo. I love her weapon with that blade, is that custom :? She has a nice physique and if I may say I like that she is busty...did you make her like that as well :?:

Anyway dude, you made a great custom here :D

I really liked the Image/DDP run, it's only about 60 issues for anyone interested. The weapon came from an older version of the character Hasbro made, and the torso came that way. It was a little more "ample" than I thought, but overall doesn't affect the results.
