HissTank member Marine_Deadpool posted his terrific Gung Ho custom. Using the new 50th sculpt we’re all getting in a few weeks he pulled off a beautifully painted custom of the Marine. Read more and see even more photos by clicking the link below.

He has that Vietnam Era look and feel to him here, but I took a new Gung Ho and camo’d up his pants and cover in tiger stripe. Since the figure was direct from overseas, he had no Eagle, Globe, and Anchor on his chest… And being that this sculpt is way too muscular to accept decals… I had work something else out and added the mark of my beloved Corps, hand drawn, and not an easy task. Then it was decided to shave off the holster, and add on one of Marauder Gun Runners new drop-leg rigs that could hold their suppressed 1911, which I modified to hold the suppressor. It’s already epic holster, just added some straps to keep the suppressor with the pistol.

The vest initially had a grenade on each side, so I shaved one off and moved it to the other side so I could place the knife sheath that was removed from his lower leg on to the vest.

Agreed, that is awesome, and i'm glad you gave him the cool repainted Ultimate Flint/Firefly grenade launcher...I always disliked the one the RAH/25th Anniversary versions had...

Nice!!!!
This is how gung ho would look if he was in the poc jungle theme.
He goes perfect with poc duke, spirit, and recondo.
Great job

Where's a mod when you need something to Front Page. Especially something this awesome!

Impressive work as usual. Would expect MARPAT, but the tiger stripe really goes with the vintage gear he wears.
Sciflyer says
Outstanding work, MD, just outstanding. This is easily one of the most detail-oriented customs I've seen.
Full disclosure: Gung Ho was never one of my favorite characters. I am a self-proclaimed "ninja whore" when it comes to G.I. Joe figures, but your custom was so damn good that I just had to comment on it. Bravo, sir! Well done!
