Lt. Jean Rasczak - Starship Troopers Custom



After a long time without any new Gi Joe Custom, I bring you this Lt. Rasczak Custom from Starship Troopers movie.

SAS - Special Air Service

Gi Joe Custom SAS - Special Air Service



This Gi Joe Custom is based on a British SAS operator.
The SAS - Special Air Service was created in the WW2 and nowadays is considered one of the best special ops unity in the world.

The head, submachine gun, holster with pistol, tactical vest, pouch and the stand with SAS logo were casted in resin by me.

I've already made other Gi Joe Customs a few years ago, based on british military personnel, like this Royal Marine Commando and this SAS Operator with desert camo. Also there's a version for Australian SAS.

Felino - Tiger Force

Gi Joe Custom Felino - Tiger Force


In 2013 , I made my 1st Felino - Tiger Force Custom. It was before Hasbro have been realeased their Felino version.

You can see these two Gi Joe Customs are very different about the colors. I tried to make this 2017 version more realistic, and used a Dusty 25th body, like the 2013 version, and closer to the original version from the 90's. The FAMAS rifle is a Marauder's piece.

Custom Gi Joe - Boneco da PMERJ

Gi Joe Custom - Boneco da PMERJ - Polícia Militar do RJ

Oi, pessoal. Tem um bom tempo desde minha última postagem, então hoje eu trago a vocês este novo Custom Action Figure, é um Custom Gi Joe, e é uma nova versão para meu Boneco da PMERJ anterior.

Estes tipos de fardamentos são usados geralmente pelos policiais que operam nas UPPs - Unidades de Polícia Pacificadoras. Estas UPPs, para quem não sabe, são como pequenas bases da PM, implementadas pelo governo do RJ, dentro das favelas, para tentar combater o tráfico mais eficazmente (na verdade, em teoria, estas favelas ou comunidades já deveriam estar livres do tráfico no momento da implementação das UPPs, mas infelizmente não é isso que acontece em muitos casos).

Cobra Viper - Infantry Trooper

Cobra Viper Custom


Hello! This Saturday we have a new Gi Joe Custom...I mean, Cobra Custom. That's a Cobra Viper Custom. This Cobra Viper is a mixing of Sideshow version and 30th mold.

As always, I tried to make this Action Figure Custom as most similar as possible from a "real life" soldier, that's why I used Cobra Trooper / Officer legs. To get this result, I made some modifications. I used a Cobra Officer / Trooper tactical vest and scraped its front side, then I added some pouches that I took from some BBI Action Figures and casted it in resin.

Exército Brasileiro - Forças Especiais | Brazilian Army - Special Forces

Gi Joe Custom Brazilian Army Special Forces



This is my newest "Brazilian Joe", that's a Special Forces Operator from Brazilian Army.
I've already made other Gi Joe Customs from Brazilian Army, you can take a look at them: Brazilian Army ParatrooperBrazilian Army - 2nd LT. Artillery, SPECIAL FORCES - BRAZILIAN ARMY v2, 1st Lt. Francine (Brazilian Army)2nd LT. Artillery (Brazilian Army), Special Forces - Brazilian Army V1.

I love to make Action Figure Customs based on real life soldiers, mainly those based on Brazilian Armed Forces and Police Forces.
I also made a stand with the Brazilian Army Special Forces logo on it. This stand was made with resin and works for any 1:18 (3.75) Action Figure.

Clone Trooper - Star Wars

Star Wars Custom - Clone Trooper


One thing I love in the Star Wars Universe is the Troopers (Imperials, Clones, Rebels..).
I got a Clone Trooper Sgt. in an auction at ebay, but I don't like those colored details in green. At the same time, I loved the battle marks seen on the new troopers (movie). So I decided to paint this Sgt entirely white, like a common Clone Trooper, but with battle damaged marks and filth, giving it a more realistic appearance.
The Sideshow Version was my great inspiration to make this Clone Trooper Custom.
Unhappily, any 1:18 (3.75) Action Figure version has the backpack, as the Sideshow Trooper, so I took it from Ahsoka, released by Hasbro.

Cobra Trooper - Desert Ops

Cobra Trooper Custom - Desert Ops


Hi, guys! Let’s begin 2017 with a simple and easy Action Figure Custom, it’s a Cobra Trooper Custom, one more Cobra to my Desert Ops Team.
See the recipe for this Cobra Desert Trooper:

Body: Cobra Officer V8
Helmet: Cobra Trooper V11
Webgear: Cobra Trooper 25th
Rifle: Cobra Trooper / Officer 25th

Simple! You can make it in less than 1 minute! This is one more nice Action Figure that Hasbro haven’t released. They could've released it in the Cobra Desert Assault Squad pack, as the Cobra Officer.
I've been making some Gi Joe Customs using Action Figures from this pack, such as Barbecue, Cobra Viper, Sgt. Flash and Tripwire.

Star Wars Rebel Commando

Star Wars Custom Rebel Commando

This is my brand new Star Wars Custom, or I could say Gi Joe Custom, cause it was made 99% with Gi Joe base, except for the stand.
My first Rebel Commandos Customs were these HERE, but they were made basing on the original ones. As I've already made before with Rebel Fleet Troopers, V1 and V2 Special Forces, I made this Rebel Commando imagining how these Troopers would be nowadays, with modern gear and weapons, and that's the result.

Este é meu mais novo Custom Star Wars, ou poderia dizer Custom Gi Joe, pois foi feito 99% com base Gi Joe, com exceção do stand (base da figura).
Meus primeiros Customs Rebel Commandos foi estes AQUI, mas foram feitos baseados nos originais. Como já fiz antes com os Rebel Fleet Troopers, V1 e V2 Forças Especiais, fiz este Rebel Commando imaginando como esses Soldados seriam hoje em dia, com equipamentos e armas modernas, e este é o resultado.

Cobra Female Officer - Night Ops

Gi Joe Custom - Cobra Female Officer


As every Gi Joe collector, I always imagined how would be an Action Figure's female version of a Cobra Trooper or Cobra Officer. So a few years ago I released some Cobra Female Troopers and Officers, as you can see below:

Cobra Female Officer

Cobra Female Trooper

Cobra Python Female Officer

Cobra Female Bazooka Trooper

 Finally, Hasbro released their Cobra Female Officer, but sincerely...I hated it! They lost an excellent opportunity to realese a very nice Action Figure, and they seem to be lazy, or don't want to spend money on new Gi Joe Action Figure moulds....whatever...so I decided to make another version, but surely so much better than my previous versions, and yes, SO MUCH BETTER than Hasbro version. Well, at least in my opinion..

I used some pouches casted in resin by me, and sculpted (I don't have a 3D printer) a Cobra Trooper/Officer Helmet with a movable Night Vision Goggle.
Definitely I love to build female versions of characters that are generally males, and you'll alaways see these girls among my Gi Joe Customs.

Barbecue - Desert Ops

Gi Joe Custom Barbecue

This is one more Gi Joe Custom from my Desert Ops Team. As Sgt. Flash, Tripwire and Cobra Viper, this Barbecue Custom was made with Action Figures from the Cobra Desert Assault Squad pack. I just practically repainted the head and covered the Cobra logo on the backpack.
As the other Action Figure Customs from my Desert Ops Team, they're easy and fast to make.

Este é mais um Custom Gi Joe da minha Tropa de Operações no Deserto. Como Sgt. FlashTripwire e Cobra Viper, este Custom Barbecue foi feito com Figuras de Ação do pack Cobra Desert Assault Squad. Eu apenas praticamente repintei a cabeça e cobri o logo Cobra na mochila. Assim como os outros Custom Action Figures da  minha Tropa de Operações no Deserto, eles são fáceis e rápidos de fazer.

Armoured Crimson Guard

Gi Joe Custom  - Armoured Crimson Guard


Hi, ladies and gentlemen! Let's start September with one more Gi Joe Custom, this time is Cobra Crimson Guard Custom. He wears an armour with several battle damage marks.
The Cobra Logo, the Crimson Guard Logo and the number 14 (both on the shoulder) were made with decals (I'll write an Action Figure Custom Tutorial about this soon).
The armour and helmet are removable, as you can see on the pics.
I tried to make what I call "Realistic Style Custom", or even "Real Style". It's a style where I try to make the Action Figure Custom more realistic, becoming opposed to the "Toy Style Custom" (or only Toy Style). I'll talk more about it on another time. By now, appreciate (or not) my new Crimson Guard Custom. Thanks!

Custom Action Figures Tutorial – Como transformar imagens da internet em Adesivo

Action Figure Customs Tutorial - Star Wars Customs - Gi Joe Customs - Marvel Customs

To read this Tutorial in English, press HERE.

Olá, senhoras e senhores.
Vou mostrá-los como eu crio meus Adesivos, quero dizer, como eu transformo uma imagem da internet em um futuro adesivo.
Provavelmente este não é o melhor jeito de se fazer isso, mas é o jeito que eu faço e dá certo para mim. Você não precisa entender de nenhum programa como Photoshop ou Corel Draw. Eu não entendo nada desses programas, por isso eu “criei” este método para fazer meus adesivos para as minhas Figuras de Ação. É muito fácil.

Usarei uma Bandeira Brasileira como exemplo. Vamos ver as fotos a seguir:
