I’ve been putting this set together for the last few weeks. Guess I am subconsciously thinking about warmer weather. Still need to find the orange & black crate.

I had some fun in the sun today with Zip Line Joe, he is sliding down a 200' long zip line set up I made from about 40' up.

Wharf Rat the new Adventure Team submersible spy submarine.
A few months ago I picked up a lot off eBay just to get some Trouble Shooter parts & a Intruder Commander. I was not planning on doing anything with the Sea Wolf hull that was shown in the background, looked like it was missing too many parts & didn’t want to have to hunt them all down. When I received the lot I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had won all the TS parts I was in need of & that the Sea Wolf was 75% to 80% complete things were just tucked inside of it. 1 big missing part was the bubble dome, so first thought was to clean it & use it as trade fodder or resell it on eBay. After looking around online at my favorite Joe dealer sites. I struck gold & found a Sea Wolf bubble dome for $9.99 + S&H. This is when I decided that I would make a custom Sea Wolf.
So I was just going to do a nice little custom (a wham bam project), but then I found some RC lights & I thought they would be really cool to use on something. So I called my Joe friend Haz & asked him if I should do a nice little wham bam custom job or should I go balls out on the project? You can just guess what he said, “Go Balls Out on the Project!”
So I ordered the lights & never looked back. Soon after that my old friend Bob the decal wizard of Academy Art & Design dropped me an email from out of the blue, bam another idea hit me for this project. Design custom Wharf Rat decals & see if Bob could/would be able to make them up for me. So I sat & designed some new custom decals for the Wharf Rat submarine & sent them off to have Bob make them up for me.
I still have a few little things I’m working on before I can call this custom 100% complete, custom divers wetsuit, divers propulsion device, & some accessories I want to add.

I made up a set of AT Helicopter Pontoons from PVC pipe & some wall mount cable clips. The hardest part was painting them yellow. Can someone tell me why it is that yellow sprays like water?

I ordered this helmet on eBay, it is a much better fit and look to the actual Henchman figure than the first one I had planned to use. The other one barely fit on his head and the chin strap was a bit of a pain to work with.
Way too much free time to play around with photos, but I am getting better at it.

On a whim I tossed this custom Joe together yesterday, but for some reason I am at a loss to come up with a name for him. He is kind of a Magnum PI, Tom Selleck want to be, but Magnum just doesn’t fit him.
Thanks

So it’s been about 4 years since I got my first Fuzzhead Action Man figures and while I did clean them up, there wasn’t much help in cleaning the dust from their flock thoroughly. The best response I got was tweezers and a pin to comb out the flock but that left a lot of stuff in.
That and it being several years since I got them, I really wanted to see if I could clean the fuzz a bit deeper. So, I got a soft toothbrush and gently brushed out the dust and hair and junk, using tape to pick up the remaining stuff.
Surprisingly all my fuzzheads look much glossier and newer despite the missing patches of hair now heh.
I really want to give a BIG THANK YOU to Haz for helping me out with the wheels & axles I needed for this custom project.

1 & ½ years gathering parts & accessories
6 hours repairing broken parts
4 hours washing everything
8 hours buffing off marks & scrapes
Having a fairly decent AT Training Tower PRICELESS!
The box is rough, snake is not original & some things could be better, but I’m happy with it & that’s all that matters.

Hi Folks,
For the past two weeks I have not really felt like doing much Joe wise. Mainly due to fall depression & some family issues. Well today was a sunny fall day here in NH & my family issues are getting better. I am now getting back into the swing of my Joe collection, enjoy.
Take care

I got into Joe because I knew that I wanted to repair & restore Joe to his former glory. Now it has taken several years to develop the skills & abilities to do what I want, but I think I finally have something to show for all my time & effort on this front.

Kind of a kitbash/custom I’ve been playing around with this past week. I am going to do something different down the road with his clothing, but this is more to show off his custom made fishing pole & reel. Everything I used to make the pole & reel was found around the mouse house. Bamboo skewer, carpet thread, wire ties from a Wal-Mart Joe box, plastic paint brush handle, tooth pick, metal bead (bobber), an old earring from Mrs. Mouse & super glue. The hardest part was tapering the bamboo skewer from 1/8th inch. Down to 1/16th inch., but after that everything came together real nice. For some reason every time I make something from scratch it turns out on the small side, I guess that might be from too many years working in 1/24th scale.

As promised here is my Spy Island set. As you can see I am still missing the Camera & the Spotlight. Also I have temporarily replaced the Detonator strap with some black ribbon, gonna fix that with some brown leather I have.

Wipeout in the drain pipe, with Hunter Joe on the lookout. I nicknamed the Chipmunk Wipeout because of the way it chirps & grunts at me, it sounds like it’s saying Wipeout.

As the sun set Joe reflected on his "Banana suit" and whether he was tired of a life amongst the trees.

I finally finished my custom Limited Edition FHQ figure. Man it’s been about a year from start to finish on this guy. I would like to thank all my FHQ brethren that made this possible. So thank you, Jim, Eliot, Brian, Tom, & Chet. Special thanks to Don Coffey & thanks to a few other friends Bob for his fine casting work, Gary for parts & John for the mint blue jumpsuit. If I left anyone out sorry, I thank you too.
Here is to a great group of friends, have a cold one!

I recently picked up a VAM Lifeguard for a song, yah he had some heavy damage & was in need of a lot of repairs, but I think I pulled him back from the brink. The chrome on the scabbard was all but worn off & the pommel guard was damaged, so I stripped off the chrome plating to do repairs. The red pieces you see were scratch made. The belt is made from a heavily converted civil war rifle sling & cartridge pouch, bits I picked up cheap. His uniform went fairly fast new suspenders & just a few stitch tacks here & there.
