Joerhyno's Custom Contest:2-4man team

[ibps]

Wow & Oh my Goodness! & so on.

 

What an excellent array of custom troops. I would be honored to offer my two cents on each of these submissions:

 

Night Creepers. They look fantastic. Perfect parts mixing & excellent (yet subtle) modifications. Really really impressive (as usual). The one nitpick is that all three have the exact same skin tone. Humans grouped together typically don't.

 

Code Red. Parts matching looks neat & I liked the backstory. The worn paint of the original pieces could have used touch ups.

 

Frontal assault unit. The Dusty lookalike on the extreme left is my favorite of the group. I liked the other figures as well & think some close up shots would have allowed for better judging.

 

Jungle Strike. Fastdraw is AWESOME; one of the very best uses of the JvsC Blowtorch body. Deep Cover looks like Major Barrage wearing different pants.

 

The Cure. Looks like you spent more time on the accessories than on the paint applications. The uniform black on every member is a little boring...Low Light could use another coat on his sleeve. It is also difficult to see what those close up inserts are on both Low Light & Lone Star.

 

Elite Taipan Force. The uniform colors are really outstanding. I really like diamondback's usage of the Swanson head & vest. Pretty cool sculpting on the hair of both Zandar & Ghostbear, although Zandar's looks too kinky... a Cobra symbol on Boomslang's beret would have put him over the top.

 

Serpentor's Assassins. Plague's little skull decorations look great. Decapitator's shoulder armor looks way too big. I LOVED the backstory. I liked it so much I read it a second time out loud.

 

D.E.F. Lockdown would make a perfect army builder. Nice usage of Leia's head, though Mayday's lower legs look a little too manly..I don't know how Bulletproof's holster's are staying up without any visible straps..

 

S.E.A.L.s The boat picture could pass for real life. That Sam Fisher head looks AWESOME coupled with the microman body. An excellent team & you get kudos for using a different medium for the base figures. Where's yer backstory?

 

Advanced Recon/ Tactical Element. The coolest accessories of all entries & excellent parts matching. I think a few paint highlights would have went a long way on these. The helmet visors look too flat. A glossy coat would have made them look ALOT cooler.

 

A really sincere thanks to Joerhyno, for hosting this contest & for trying to keep it fair & fun for everyone involved..

 

I'm leaning toward voting for either Elite Taipan Force, Night Creepers, Navy S.E.A.L.s or CURE..

 

For Everyone who submitted, Congratulations on some really well executed customs.

 

 

 

Either affliction can be overcome.

Great stuff guys!

 

My Vote: The Night Creepers

[obiprime]

Wow some great customs. Sorry I could not enter myself this time as I was occupied waiting for my son to be born. So its hard to pick a winner. I love the night Creepers. But I must say the SEALS are the winner.Great customs and great pics.

[Inggasson]

My favourites have to be AR/TE for the awesome paintjobs etc.

Good work from everybody!

[DPrime]

My Vote: DEF

 

I like the designs on these ones, and it's a concept you don't see done very often. The colour choices really seemed to bring them together yet keep them interesting as individuals, and the designs are simple but not tired and overused. I especially like Mayday.

 

I'd also like to say that the SEALs looked VERY cool but the Microman bodies just don't scream "Joe custom" to me.

[punishment-101]

Its a toss up on the SEALS and CURE for me and I need to find a coin...

 

I'm gonna go with SEALS for the awesome accessories and the use of different style bodies

[ibps]

Okay, I've weighed the entries most carefully.

 

What it came down to was which entry would I like to have in my own collection, or more accurately, which of these am I most likely to duplicate.

 

My vote:
