So i wanted to make Gung-Ho as badass as i could possibly do, without making him to "cartoony". I used Leatherneck's head and I dremeled it like I never dremeled a custom before. I created a new hat out of the old one, I removed to hair (to make him bold) and I changed his mustache.

As you can see on the last picture, the head was pretty discoloured (I only want to use discarded Hasbro parts), so I tried something new: I sanded to top layer of the plastic, so the original color would surface again. I also did it with the arms (so they would match again) and I simply applied a clear coat of pain on the sanded parts.

My favorite part of the custom are his pants, for obvious reasons...
