Who am I?

You may know me as alleyviperelite or simply AVE on various fansites.  I have been a fan of G.I. Joe as long as I remember.  I was born in 1980 so the first couple years of the RAH line I missed since I was still chewing on Fisher Price toys.  But I remember that first Firefly and then the Dusty and Buzzer that led to my lifelong obsession, except for a few years from high school to college when I thought I was too cool for toys.  But here I am now and the obsession grows.....

Why Am I Here?

Customizing joes started out as a simple enough hobby for me.  Repaint a figure, maybe switch out a part here and there, but as with most hobbies it has evolved...alot.  The more customs I completed, the more that I wanted to do.  Ideas started popping in my head and my pieces got alot more elaborate.  Sculpting and reworking the molds became a standard part of every custom.  Then came the bios.  A part of me I never knew existed came out because of the hobby and that is the enjoyment of writing.  I began fleshing out how the characters worked for me and soon I was writing two and three paragraphs about every figure I finished instead of a sentence or two.  So here is where I intend to flesh out my own joeverse a little more.  It is my world so there are things that don't agree with the comic or cartoon but please keep an open mind and give it a try.  So check out my customs, read my custom bios, and wish me well on this latest experiment in the hobby.  Feel free to contact through email and let me know what you think.

Thank You

Thanks go to my Mom and Dad for buying me the Joes and not stifling my creativity.  Thanks for not getting too mad when I started taking those Joes apart and swapping parts.  

I thank my wonderful girlfriend for being behind me on this project and assuring me that it was a great idea.  Thank you for beng so understanding.

I also want to thank Beav and everyone at joecustoms for allowing me to hang out there and the feedback I received on my work.  They have truly fueled my creativity.
