Iron Grenadier (Trench Warfare)

[Fritzkrieg]

Every once in a great while, I discover a set of parts that were just meant to be assembled together, to make a factory quality custom. Such is the case with my Trench Warfare Grenadier
Parts List:
POC Iron Grenadier Head, Torso & Overcoat Resolute Firefly, Arms & Legs ROC Destro.
I did a whipe to give him a grittier look, but the plastic colors all match perfect without paint. LMK what you think.

Very cool! The head, which is one of my favorites, gives it a great steam punk WWI vibe.

Looks Great!

Nice job putting that all together

Dude, I totally want an army of these! eBay here I come! Hope you won't mind if I copy you—I suspect not since you shared the recipe.

 

[Preacher13]

So I got the parts to make two of these guys. Just one question--did you cut the collar off of Destro's body or did you put his arms on Firefly's body?

Oh, never mind. I see it's Firefly's torso... Whose backpack?

 

[AdrienVeidt]

Yeah, that's bad-ass. He needs squadmates and an officer to lead him over the top into No Man's Land.

 

[Preacher13]

So, I butchered two Destro torsos doing it, but I've completed two of these guys. Now I just need to find that awesome backpack.

 

[daremo]

That's a great looking iron grenadier. It would make a good multipack too.

Backpack is from a Resolute Cobra Trooper.

Backpack is from a Resolute Cobra Trooper.

Thank you, sir!

 

[Fritzkrieg]

Sorry, for the late response,
I had to crack the torsos and switch the arms out, and yes it is a Cobra Resolute backpack. Can't wait to see picks of yours.

 

[Preacher13]

They really just look exactly the same as yours, but I'll post a pic soon. Figuring out their gun situation and I think I'll do a wipe on them too, or at least some kind of weathering. Thanks for the cool recipe, man!

This is the first time I've broken apart and customized modern era Joes. Your design inspired me.

Fritz- are you on instagram? I took a pic of my trench grenadiers for you. If not I'll post here.

 

[Preacher13]

OK, here they are! I went with the 50th Ann Viper backpack (from the grey and red version in the Viper's Pit three-pack with beach head. Guns are from Ultimate Duke.

I like them, very World War-ish.
