Tribute to G.I.Joe: FireFly the Saboteur
At last, the master of Espionage & Sabtoage - Mr FireFly
While I PS this character, all I have in mind is SPY, SPY & SPY... Hope u enjoy this last installment of my Tribute to G.I.Joe, thanks!!!
Firefly is COBRA Commander's number one contract man. It is rumored that he took care of some personal family matters for him and has been on the payroll ever since. His fees are paid into a Swiss bank account and always payable in advance. Firefly's infiltration skills are legendary; no one has ever reported seeing him enter or leave any target area. He specializies in bomb-planting, arson, and booby-traps. His unique construction of these devices is so complex that they are impossible to defuse. His skills in cross-wiring, anti-tamper, and secondary timers have allowed him to achieve a "100%" success rate over the years. This record was eventually broken by G. I. Joe team member, Snake-Eyes. To avoid any future confrontation, he chose to move his operations to the Cobra Polar Base. He now focuses on sabotaging top secret, arctic research facilities, and uses Night-Creepers to steal their classified documents.
From G. I. Joe files: "Firefly is known as the 'Rembrandt' of plastic explosives. He continues to escape undetected, leaving only ashes of destruction in his wake."

Out of your three Joe customs, this one is my favorite, the NVGs, the coat, his overall look is a great update on his classic look, breathtaking work right here!

Very, very, nice,
He has a Splinter Cell kind of look that I really like. You don't have to worry about paint ops either!
CHEERS!

Great work once again!
How did you do the camo balaclava? Did you paint it like that?

Thanks Siccx, knew you would like this one, as you had been asking about it... ha ha ha!!! And an glad that u like him!
Thanks Roger! Ha ha ha...
Thanks tony!
It would be Leo, let me know anytime!!! I also need to go back to study a bit about other characters to get more inspirations!!!
Thanks again x 4!!! Yup, it was painted with a few layers of model paint, a layer of grey, then white cammo... takes a few coating as it is cloth, it absorb the thinner, but once the first few layers stucked onto the fabric, it is a piece of cake!

Thanks Petety, Ray, Rhino, Getoninja, Kid & Grizzerr!!!
I am glad I had made the Super Cobra Icon FireFly justice in this relatively simple bash, yes, the vest really helped enriched the figure, and I think the painted outfits also enlivened the character quite a bit to his essence.
Thanks again and again, it has been a real exhausting PS trip, but one which was filled with fun and excitement, as well as encouragements from you guys, I counted I made 40 composites in 10hrs... ha ha ha!!!
Now, let me contemplate on a totally new versions of these G.I.Joe RAHs, YO JOE!!!
