From Tankster’s Desolation Stronx “Crazy World” concept, resident mad scientist Mikey77 has created The Huntress. Mikey has made Mayhem Customs proud with his twisted design, as both figure and vehicle have been crafted and painted with a skillset that just cannot be from our little blue planet. The man is a danger with tools of creation, and we are proud to disply that genius here!
Right now on the OG13, the members of I.C.O.N. are hosting a custom contest with a twist. Our Artists are making both a Figure and a Vehicle!
Check out some of the latest entries. If you would like to enter, there still is a little time left. The last day to enter is the 30th, so get your screwdrivers, plastic, and paints ready!
Long time customizer, but brand new OGer, Vitruvianpro makes an IMMEDIATE splash in our black and green waters. Prepare for sensory overload, and take a look at his vision of your favourite Joes, as they should have been made.
OG13 and Mayhem Customs creator Mikey77 shares with us some of his fantastic modern era updates and zombie warfare customs. Real world detail mixed with fiction’s most popular horror genre all wrapped up in one amazing thread.
If you know Byrnes, you know that the man has a great and glorious love for 1:18th scale Joe customs based on some of his favourite films. From Blade Runner, to Mad Max/Road Warrior, from Apocalypse Now, to Star Trek; his talent is seemingly unlimited. Take a journey into the creative world that he presents, and find yourself transported back into a time when movies were raw, characters were memorable, and talent was born!

Most apocalyptic worlds are spawned by the inhabitants that live there like a Global Nuclear disaster or viral apocalypse
Desolation was one planet that had no choice in its creation Once a thriving world with endless possibilities and a society that didn’t hinge on war.
Things however can’t stay the same forever…….
A cosmic Intervention had its hand in twisting and warping the very fabric of reality for the creatures of Desolation.
A Sun-storm or Flare of a huge magnitude hit the planet once known as Delta 5 and switching its magnetic poles and disrupting everything on the planet.
Mutual member Slaymaker has provided experiences and photography from Coil Con III. Monkeywrench and crew, our brothers at www.fighting118th.com, have provided an outstanding write-up of the con’s events!
From the desk of Monkeywrench:
“Officer member Slaymaker attended Coil Con III this Saturday and has graciously provided us with Intel. Slaymaker and his family made the trip from Iowa to attend the convention driving over 7 hours avoiding unusual traffic for the Iowa area including President Obama himself!  Slaymaker had the chance to meet comic artist Robert Atkins,  watch the world premiere of episode 1 of the anticipated G.I.Joe fan film G.I. Joe: Initiate, and spend quality time with fellow collectors.
For those that aren’t familiar with Coil Con,  here is a description of the Convention:
The CoilCon is the Midwest’s largest GI Joe convention. Now in its third year, the Con continues to grow in attendance and in the number of special guests and vendors. The past years’ conventions have been a great mix of hanging out with the community, CoilCon Exclusives, swap meets, great vendors, Joe Con and SDCC Exclusive giveaways, and much more. Come out and be a part of this year’s event. Admission is FREE!”
We are extremely happy with all of our talented OG13 members and would like to take a moment to share some of the artwork that we are blessed to have posted in our forums.
Art comes in many forms and we must not forget our talented artist’s and what they contribute to the forums.
Take a look at some of the art that has graciously been posted in OG13 !

Thanks to the sharp eye of Storm, we can now view the latest in fan films for GI Joe. I watched the intro and enjoyed it a lot. Not a fan of the fat Major Bludd, but I enjoyed the twins and thought Recondo, Lowlight, and Mercer looked great. As long as there aren’t any Predator appearances or Dukes with German accents, we may have a pretty good film on our hands.
