The Right of Might! Hisstank.com forum member nirvana7 recently posted up his custom Ultimate Salvo..and wow, this figure is an absolute home run!
Nirvana7 was waiting for a modern Pursuit of Cobra or 30th style Salvo figure, but as you may know, the only Salvo offering in recent years was the figured offered through NJCC at the show. As such, he took it upon himself to create his own and thankfully he did! This modern update of the 1990 G.I.Joe Anti-Armor Trooper is one that I’m sure we’d all love to add to our shelves .
Salvo comes complete with his signature Missile Launcher and upgraded armor that makes you wonder if this is even a custom at all, as it can easily pass for a production offering. You can check out the parts list used and more images (of course!) after the jump.

Hi Tankers
Here is the Ultimate Salvo custom figure.
I was waiting for a modern POC or 30th style Salvo figure, but as you may know, there was only a NJCC Salvo throughout the years.
So I had to customize my own one.
I knew a Retaliation Roadblock would be fairly good for Salvo's body and head.
And in order to give him a modern look, his combat pants should be modernized with multicam pattern...
More important thing was that I wanted some cool protective armor for him...
Then I discovered that a Captain America movie figure had some good chest and leg armors, which would be fit to my salvo figure.
So finally my Salvo has been finished with my design.
Here is the recipe:
Head:Retaliation 3pack Roadblock
Body: Ultimate Roadblock
Helmet: classic salvo's with customized visor
Rocket launcher: classic salvo's with customized grip
Chest, leg armors: Captain America Fortress assault mission
Enjoy my salvo.
Thanks for watching!!

Salvo is one of the figures I never liked, but I cannot even act like I wouldn't buy this in a heartbeat

Looks fantastic. I'm honestly not familiar with Salvo really, but this guy seems pretty bad ass.

Looks great, that armor works very well and the addition of the grip to his launcher is great too.

Very nice! I really like the fixes on the helmet and launcher, as well as the work on the figure itself.
