Ooowee I haven't been on these boards in forevah!  I decided to ditch the 80% completed "Lift Ticket" and move onto Shipwreck. I'm goin "Old School" with this one. ;D It took some time but finally tracked down the right bell bottom dungarees that fit. I took apart 2 of my old NAVY uniforms and reworked a few things. Only problem now is........Should I put name tapes on the shirt so people know who he is? If it's a good idea, should I do U.S. NAVY or G.I. JOE name tape on one side? For the actual name, should I do Shipwreck or (Hector) Delgado on the other side. Or should I leave it blank?  I've already grown a beard and people say I'm a spittin image of the character. I should have this whole thing completed in about a month. I still have to get boots and another dickie cup for my head. |

If you were trying to make it accurate, you could do what's on the figure or artwork. Or, you could change it to the other way you mentioned. Either one would work good for that particular costume, I'd say.

Well I'm doing the old figure art which didn't have and name tapes on it. But I just thought I'd spiff it up with some. Would that still get me a membership to the JOE group? I'm also doing the anchor accessory that came with the figure!  |

Here are some pics. The only thing I'm missing is boots, white pistol belt, name tapes, and costume parrot. My buddy Pat is making a makeup template for my arm so I can do the tattoo on the right arm of the character.  I just noticed that I'm not wearing my other black glove in the pic...LOL! The patch is just pinned on for now. The shirt will be converted to a short sleeve this weekend.  Here are the pants I'll be using. They're are NAVY bellbottom dungarees and closely resemble the old cartoon pics. Also the pistol I'll be using once the holsters done. You can't really tell from the pic but there are 2 small pockets on the front of the pants right under the belt, one one each leg and the pants are a dark blue denim. I was thinking about trying lighten the pants a little to a lighter blue in the washing machine...haven't decided yet. I figure in another 2 months I'll have the whole thing completed. |

Looks like you have the beard down pat. The shirt looks more tan in the picture, but I guess that's due to the artificial lighting. Looking good so far. That's a M1911 Colt, right? You really are going oldschool.

I also have a a flintlock pistol too but I'm going to wait for warmer weather before I paint it.
Yea, it's due to the lighting that the shirt looks tan. It's actually one of my old NAVY shirts with my "Brown" name tape taken off.

YO JOE !!! Pun intended, Long time no see, granted I've not been trooping in sometime, and dropped off the boards for awhile, But good to see a familiar face, nice Ship Wreck. If you don't remember me we've done a lot of trooping together in the 510st. All I have to say is C3, Consept Snow Trooper, and Wicket says Hi. ;D
