For the last two weeks, the ambitious customizing team of Bucky and Oreobuilder, have wowed us with another massive customs project. This time, they went back to the New-Sculpt era of GI Joe and revisited some memorable characters… and some not so familiar. Follow the links below to see more of this massive undertaking!
From the desk of Oreobuilder:
“When Bucky approached me in September with the idea of doing a New Sculpt Event, I took to the idea immediately. It was an idea that I had been kicking around for some time. … I’m really happy with how this project came out. I was afraid that by juggling both Project New Sculpt and the 50th Anniversary Tribute, one or both projects would suffer. However, I found that by doing both simultaneously, I could switch projects when I was losing steam on one. … More importantly, working with a partner for the first time was a terrific experience. We could bounce ideas of each other, critique each other’s work and motivate the other to keep going. It was so much fun that we have already started brainstorming our next joint project!”
From Bucky’s workbench:
“This is the most amount of customs I have ever done at once, in this short of period of time. … My basement was a complete and utter disaster for most of the time, though I now have systems in place to keep it better organized… I literally would have dreams about the project and sometimes couldn’t sleep as I kept “kit bashing” in my head while trying to doze off. Some of my better ideas came up while trying to fall asleep. … I’m currently thinking of a way to top this.”
