GIJoeDios.com Theme Week 03
04/26/06 � 05/05/06
Customs
[COLOR=Red][FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=4]This week�s theme will be �YOUR CUSTOMS IN ACTION!!!�[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
We�re jumping the shark on this one (whatever that means). It�s time to show off your customs. But who wants to see them just standing there, posing like it�s their senior photo for the yearbook??? We want to see the customs in action! What can they do? What weapons do they usually use? I�m starting this one early because I know customs can sometimes take a long time to do. Talk to the right people, they�ll tell you it takes weeks, if not months.
Let�s get to the definition of CUSTOMS. Customs are not swapping out a weapon or two nor is it just adding a hat or vest to a character. Customs must include at least 1 of the listed:
-Repaint
-Frankensteining (switching out body parts)
-Adding �stuff� to them. See my DialTone for an example.
-Customs can be of an existing Joe/Cobra character or someone new that is only for your �verse!
-OTHER. (I�m outta of ideas, you guys decide.)
It will be asked that you supply a name for your custom and what you did to it. This is especially important if you are swapping out parts. If you can't remember, that's ok too. I don't think I can remember half the time!
Pictures need to be posted 5/5 & 5/6. This is based on the U.S. calendar but due it accordingly to your own! The idea is to �flood� the page w/ YOUR best customs!
Post as many pics as you want. The sky is the limit. 12� and Sigma6 are welcome. Please keep the pictures clean. I�d hate to have Hammerfel gives us all warnings.
Again feel free to suggest any and all ideas. Things can always be changed for the next week. In this case, 5/5 � 5/11. Remember to have fun and the sky is the limit!
Quick example.
DialTone. Communications for the Jungle Strike Force (JSF)
Head - Shipwreck
Chest - Torpedo
Arms - Torpedo
Legs - Grunt
Beret - BBI
Pistol & Shoulder thingy - BBI

Just for the record, here are the OTHER ideas floating around.
-Ninja
-Dreadnoks
-fave Joe vehicle
-fave Cobra vehicle
-Joe & Cobra females
-Comic cover(s)
-Scenes from the cartoon and/or comic
-Vipers
-Create Your Own Core Team
-Specific scenario; rescue the hostage! Find the crashed plane! Etc!
[SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Just added:
-Pairings. I don't know how specific you guys would want it. Set a standard of certain characters or do your own pairs. Scarlet & Snake Eyes. Duke and Roadblock. Ham and burger.
-Vipers. Show the speciality Vipers doing what they do best! That's different than the other Vipers idea which was more like, "create your own squad of Vipers...".[/FONT][/SIZE]
Party on.
