Hello / New Beachhead

[gee2]

Hello!
I was pointed in this direction by a few of my 501st brethren after "geeking out" over some old school GI JOE after a troop. You folks really go all out and I love that! So I started working on a Beachhead kit and as I get close to finishing I had a question; Name tape? I noticed in a few photos from DCon some of you have GI JOE and some not, as well as some having the character's name tape. Is there a preferred method/guidance? I'm considering going the Sideshow method (one of each) but haven't decided yet. I'm fairly big on accuracy so any help to make this kit really stand out would be appreciated.

Thanks

Was finally able to get some shots.

WOW!!! I feel like I am looking at a mirror image from the original cartoon!! Impressive!!!

[gee2]

Thanks! Took quite a bit more than I expected to get it just right, even to the point of upgrading the grendade from plastic to metal after the photo shoot.

Oh you are more than welcome. I was blown away because EVERYTHING is accurate right down to the balaclava. I keep wondering where Beachhead hails from because when I watch the cartoon he has a southern accent to his voice.

His POB: Auburn, Alabama

A few more shots

Thanks. I managed to look that up on yojoe.com Like I said before It looks like you stepped right out of the cartoon!

Good to see someone else from the Legion! Thanks, had a good time putting it all together, a heck of a lot easier than armor
