Check out this spot on Custom Modern Era rendition of the G.I.Joe Gatling Gunner, Rock & Roll v2! Created by Hisstank.com forum member Ska_Lives, this awesome custom piece stays true to it’s original roots while giving a breath of fresh life to this fan favorite G.I.Joe character! From Ska –
I wanted to keep it as close to the original source material as possible, yet still update and tweak a few items. The harness is completely scratch built, and outside of the color and lack of grenades, is pretty spot on IMO. The side rifle was tricky. I was hoping to find an extra one in my travels, yet never did so I opted to use something from the more modern figures. I then modified a holster to hold it. The originals molded on knife is now a usable machete as well.
I had a lot of fun making this figure and I hope that you guys enjoy it as well!

So I was commissioned to make 4 customs for Capt. Grid-Iron over at Serpentor's Lair just before the new year. Of those Ive shown two so far, Incenerators and El Jefe. So here is number 3 of 4, a requested rendition of v2 Rock and Roll.

great.
hardcorps says
That is really cool. I personally like the more modern "leg rifle" that RnR has. I guess if you wanted to be original, you could use the MGR lever action shotgun.
