Finally made an account here today, I've been a lurker for a long time. I'll be posting all my work that's joe related to this thread. The stuff I'm posting tonight is all finished stuff from the last couple years. I'll add new stuff as it is completed -



First up, one of my earliest customs, one that has managed to hold up to today. Vypra -


Vypra custom by scarrviper, on Flickr

I always liked her filecard, but a jinx repaint didn't quite cut it. I wanted to make her look less like a ninja and more like the driver and mechanic that her filecard suggested. I plan to make another version in the future.



Caiman-

An LBC made to use a fearless forces head from a figure of the same same.



Blue deck hydrofoil -

Gnawgahyde -

Replaced his legs to fix his proportions, added white to the spots and painted the hatband.


Outrider-

Tribute custom of a legendary Joedios member and friend of the same name who passed away from cancer in 2010.


Voodoo (shadow tracker)-

Really liked this new character, but wanted him arah style so I came up with this


Zanya-


Zanya Custom by scarrviper, on Flickr

Experimented with sculpting on this one, I'll probably revisit/redo the back portion of her hair eventually to look more like dreadlocks.


Slugger-


Slugger - Dreadnok Smuggler by scarrviper, on Flickr

A custom dreadnok based off one done by a friend. He is a smuggler and enforcer.


Crusher and Demolishor-

My take on the 2 2004 convention 'noks.


Burnout-


Burnout Custom by scarrviper, on Flickr

Wanted the character arah style. I'll probably redo his hair at some point, and give him a better fitting waist.

Ghost Bear-


Ghost Bear by scarrviper, on Flickr

Loved the character's filecard, wanted him arah style. Decided to take him in a different direction and give him a look of an unaffiliated hired mercenary like his father, Kwinn.

Wanted a version whose look actually fit what was described by the filecard.


Munitia-

That's all for now. Let me know what you all think, I know there's a lot here. I'll post more as they are finished.

Good to see ARAH get some love. Some great work all around, but I think my favorites are Ghost Bear and Stalker.

Some real nice ARAH customs. You're gonna fit in here fine.

I like Dart and Crosshair. Those stood out.

Some nice looking figures there. Like your interpretations of new sculpt and modern era figures in RAH style.

Wow, these are great, and welcome to the JC, not to be confused with the OC.

love Shadow Tracker / Voodoo the best! what did you do to the head to make it fit?

Your sculpting is top notch. I noticed it with Zanya and Burnout but the Munitia WIP pics show it. Welcome on board.

Very nice work on them all makes me want to go back and do some ARAH's myself. My one comment is Burnout his head is alittle big, but otherwise a great customs.

Nice to have you here Kurt. ARAH customs rules.

Me too, not really into RAH anymore but your work is really good on them all. Great paint apps and part combos too. Zanya her head is really good.I too like the induction of newer characters as RAH sculpt

Lots of ARAH goodness here. I recall seeing many of these at Joedios.com. Many unique and original combinations. Dart, Cross Hair, Ghost Bear, Nuke, and Chuckles are my favorites.

Welcome aboard...
