jl1828 Purist/Custom Builds

[jl1828]

Finally have the time to get some of my older work back up and hopefully add some new pieces in the weeks ahead. Anyway, enjoy.

Here are my Ankram Crusader Force team members. As I mentioned in the "What's your Glyos Canon" thread, I envision that Commander Rykurra became obsessed with cleansing the Skeleden threat after the events on Ankram, where nearly all of his orginal team were either killed, or worse, corrupted by the "plague." His new ranks are unconventional, unorthodox and (according to some) unholy. As always enjoy. Please note that I have included some of the original figures just to display the full line-up this far.

Man, I love team shots. I think that's because I segregate my Glyos by species. Hmm.

Those Disney builds are awesome!

Three more recruits for ACF.




And just for fun

And nothing too groundbreaking, but a long time favorite, I give you the Mini-Naut!

In response to a "awesome" Tendril custom posted recently I threw this guy together.

Very cool & spot on. Any plans on the others? I'm sure you could use gobon balls for Liquidator's legs but some liberties could be taken since they look kinda ridiculous

After finishing this one I decided to work on the rest of the team. I am in the parts gathering phase.

Not perfect but a fun first attempt.

EMP Group Shot


And not all Varteryx are content with being "flightless."

Nice job on the other Earth Corps guys. All the builds represent the vintage figures well. Would be cool to see Auger out of parts in that Redlaw Phanost clear purple but that Ankram maroon looks good.

The EMP group also looks great. Is that Reydurran grey mixed in? It goes well with those EMP colors.

Thanks for the kind words. Auger was the biggest challenge since his armor was the most organic of all of them. I ended up using the Skeleden armor pieces to replicate the effect but since it required parts from 3 figures, the Ankram Skeleden was my only option. And yes that is Reydurran gray and the Genisis Corps brownish gray is a nearly identical match to the "warm grey" from the drop.

I thought that dark warm grey felt familiar.

Really liking the "spare parts build" you worked up for the orange-visor Sarvos.

Using parts from Spy Monkey I have further expanded my EMP. Matt, you could have even more of my money if only you'd make some more of this stuff available.

So something new has surfaced in crossover potential for Glyos. I am still experimenting with the various effects but I wanted to share my initial a l results. It turns out that the ports and legs on the GI Joe Sigma 6 8" figures is a nearly perfect match for our beloved peg system. Not sure how much potential this will yield but it does open up some interesting new opportunities.

Hi-Tech, Sigma 6's technology expert, stumbles across a dimensional anomaly from another world. At first he can't make sense of the strange components, but soon they seem to be forming constructs seemingly on their own. He collects some samples to return to the labs for analysis and hopes that Cobra doesn't have similar discoveries.

Looks like you're getting your wish this Thursday. Builds look great as always, that heavy gunner walker is great. I dig that hub wolf too
