This is two separate customs. First up is my Sgt. Kup crossover I made for the GIJCC Cross County figure. It is made from a 1/18 diecast Hummer H3T pickup truck and various Halo weapons and some other various fodder to mount the guns. It was completely disassembled and painted as close to an appropriate Kup green as I could find. The interior was modified to accept a Joe figure, but once done he fits in quite well. This has been over a year in the making. It got delayed when some other things came up. I actually had it in the works before Cross Country even came out and I mentioned it somewhere on one of the custom boards and someone suggested I make Cross Country the driver, so to whoever that was thanks for the idea because I think it really works.

Second is a Spike Witwicky custom I have had in my WIP pile for way too long considering how simple it is. I used a coat and feet from a Walking Dead figure, Renegades Tunnel Rat legs and torso, and Retaliation Mouse head and arms. I did minimal painting because I wanted him to retain mobility to be able to use him with my growing armada of Transformers crossover customs.

I cannot express how over the moon I am with this custom of Kup. You nailed it and it looks like it would fit right in next to the SDCC Jetfire.

Any troubles getting the Walking Dead feet into the Joe legs?

Thanks. The feet were surprisingly easy. I was not expecting them to work after I popped them out of the WD figure because they are very different. I did do a little fine trimming around the inside of the pant leg and on the top of the boot, but very minimal. They actually move well and allow for good posing and even stand up well without a stand.

I really like the coat you got there. Everything else looks flawless as usual. Kup looks very factory.

Colors on Kup are perfect! Way better than the SDCC Hound!

Both of those are really well done. Kup looks good in that minty green that shouldn't look good at all. I could tell who it was supposed to be right away.

Great use of that coat. Can't tell you how many ties I've picked up those figures looking at the accessories and put them down.

Kup looks fantastic and is a great representation of what the Joe/TF crossover vehicles should be!

The Spike figure looks really good on its own merits. However, I'm not sure I get a Spike vibe from him unless you are going for an IDW look.

Thanks man. On Spike I didn't really base it on anything other than what I would want him to look like in a modern format as a figure that would fit with my Transformer crossover vehicles. I wanted him to seem civilian, but still have the look of an adventurer or something.

i picked up some TWD figs for the same accessories, but hadn't figured out how I wanted to use them yet. This turned out real nice and is a nice choice.

Great repurpose of parts for Spike.

Not familiar with more recent incarnations of Kup, but the truck is clean.

When a TF/vehicle custom is done right, I don't even miss it not being able to transform. This fits in great with your other TF vehicles and the SDCC ones, too.
