Making a custom:
Test Pilot Hal Jordan in Flight Suit! (2 of 3)

You will need the following:

- 12" GI Joe 2010 Operation: Shadow Ops figure
- Helicopter Flight Suit and Boots (or Dragon seal jump suit, boots and vest)
- Dragon Models White Flight Helmet
- Mini locker

Start with the 12" Joe body. Simply strip the uniform off him and discard (or re-sell on ebay). Notice he looks pretty much like Hal off the bat except for the small scar on his cheek and his hair is not quite right. You have the option to get some sculpty and mold and shape his famous "comma" hair, or simply leave is as the helmet will cover the hair. Put on the Jumpsuit, vest and black boots too.

The Dragon Models White Helmet HGU-33/P WHITE ($9.99) is really cool, but still needs Hal's name on it. You can use Dry Transfer letter's (Helvetica 12 point) if you can find them, or simply print them out on your computer on sticky back paper/label and cut to size and stick on.

The next part is optional too, I added his power ring with putty then painted green. The sunglasses came from a three pack I got for the final custom in this series, a bomber jacket, jeans and glasses from Dragon Models as well.

The locker's was found on ebay, just type mini-locker or locker in the search. I then repainted it grey and used masking tape and wrote his name on it with a marker. That way it looks like he did it himself! Inside the locker's pretty cool, because it has an upper shelf for the power battery. That's pretty much it! Happy customizing!

The fun thing about this figure is there are so many ways to piece mail him together, just visit small blue planet and take a look around. Several items can be found to create your own Test pilot Hal Jordan!
