G.I. Joe Classified Wild Bill By SlicesCustoms

My version of a fan favorite.

Paid homage to his OG color schemes while making his loadout make more sense than the reverse revolvers on the thighs with 3rd revolver on his chest.

Made him a quick draw righty with different caliber revolvers
Gave him a rustic Calvary hat with tassels

Custom made shoulder harness and leg wrap.
Used a few different scales pieces put together for base and then painted.


Here is Wild Bill 6 inch version:

Your Wild Bill is bomber. You nailed that belt holster and vest like a champ. Good going bro and thx for sharing.

Well done, as always.

Iconic.
That super blue color on the hat just makes me want to bite into it. Scrumptious. And yes, much prefer the single gunslinger belt.

Amazing Slice. I agree with Rob, the colors on that hat are so rich,and realistic. Any tips on how to get the paint colors to just pop the way you do?

Exceptional job Slice! The belt and chest holsters look perfect on him.

Beautiful stuff!

Fantastic! That Wild Bill looks so good that if Hasbro puts one out everyone will be disappointed that it doesn't look like this! And then there is your Tunnel Rat sneaking in to photo-bomb WB; another brilliant custom! I only hope Hasbro is taking notes!

Thanks for the kind words. He was my first air and cowboy figure . I think he came out pretty rad .

Thanks man. I believe my
Next figure is some of my best work?.

Thank you Rob . The hat was the most important aspect of this figure imo so I wanted to perfect it

Yea. Don?t paint perfect. That?s what gives realism. I also don?t use sealers Becuase that makes them look shiny , shitty and less realistic. Most people use sealer to make there colors pop and hid imperfections.

Some real tips? The further away from the lens your work is , means you are hiding your lack of talent.

Also, Washes hide mistakes .




Thanks for the kind words bro!

Thank you kindly my friend.

Thank you!

Damn Todd, I appreciate the kind words bro. Nicky 100% photobombed the photo lol

Another great one. Wild Bill was always a favorite of mine though I never had him until a few years ago. My friend had Wild Bill and the Dragonfly and sometimes we would trade figures for a day or two and I would always choose him.

Great work! He looks amazing.
