MY CUSTOM ACTION FIGURES: COVER GIRL

Who dare to say that 1984 Cover Girl is the ugliest GI Joe female operator? Well, the original could be a bit improved, so... I did it!
I took my "backup" 1983 Covergirl and I worked on her head, until to eliminate her sculpted hair. Than I sanded a bit her face and I gave her "new" hair (from 1984 Baroness). So I totally repainted her and I... felt in love with my new Covergirl!

MY CUSTOM ACTION FIGURES: STORM SHADOW

In my own fantastic world, Storm Shadw is a GI Joe. And just because I want figures unmasked or without berets sculpted, I gave him a new head. From Hasbro' s original "Bullhorn", sanded and repainted.

MY BASIC WORKSTATION FOR CUSTOMIZING

Unfortunely, I have no so much space in my home to create a static workstation. So, when possible, I take my heavy boxes (full of spare parts, paints, tools for modding, etc...) and I put them in the little table of my kitchen, just for the time before my wife could say me: go away, dude!
No matter, I care mainly to be able to continue my little hobby!!!!

TUTORIAL: CUSTOM AND CHEAP HOLSTERS FOR ACTION FIGURES

Since I was a kid, I always prefered action figures that could keep a weapon - mainly a simple gun - in a side of the leg of the character. Sadly, most of them are without holsters or not working.
So, after a lot of years, I decided to create a valid answer to this question.
I simply take a little useless (?) razor's sheat, than I cut it to create the basic shape of the holster.
So I sand (very carefully) the leg of the character and I finally put a bit of Revell glue to fix the holster to the figure.

MY CUSTOM ACTION FIGURES: FLINT QRF

Here' s my last custom: FLINT QRF (Quick Reaction Force)

I sanded away his beret from his original sculpt, than I created his new "hair".

I also created his working holster from a common razor cap, than I created his slings for the shotgun
and for the leg holster.

Before painting I worked on Flint' s wrists, and now they can rotate and keep better his weapons.

I hope you like him!

Dai "Carmina Burana":

"Poiché provo nel mio animo un forte turbamento, al colmo dell'amarezza mi lamento di me stesso. Formato di materia assai leggera, mi sento simile ad una foglia con la quale gioca il vento. Mentre è proprio del saggio porre sulla roccia salde fondamenta, io stolto, mi paragono ad un fiume sempre in corsa che non si ferma mai sotto lo stesso cielo. Vado alla deriva come una nave priva di nocchiero, come un uccello che vaga per le vie del cielo; non c'è catena che mi trattenga, né chiave che mi rinchiuda, cerco i miei simili e mi unisco così ai malvagi. Condurre una vita austera è per me quasi impossibile; io amo infatti il gioco che mi piace più del miele. Qualunque impresa mi chieda Venere, che non risiede mai negli animi meschini, è una piacevole fatica. Percorro la via più facile com'è proprio dei giovani, e mi irretisco nei vizi scordando la virtù; più avido del piacere che della vita eterna, sono ormai morto nell'anima e curo solo il corpo."
