1st Short-Fuse, awesome job! I had both versions of SF as a kid (closed handle mortar, open handle mortar). Always loved SF, and agree, extremely under utilized in the comics. Your main SF custom is like the definitive version of this character! Going with the 2004 comic version head was a great choice as I think the Doc head is undersized. Also, it's tiny things like using the black backpack that make this custom really pop!
Jason
Thanks again Jason! For SF's head, I'd also like to try the Lifeline head. I had an extra, but ended up using it for a Pathfinder, to fill up an empty space on the shelf. As for the black backpack, I always try to get more of the original secondary color in there to balance out all that O13 green. I had done the same for Zap (repainted brown), but also tried to relocate the back peg so the pack would sit up higher. The peg broke a little bit before taking the 3-turn and 7 sets, so I went pack to the original backpack but forgot to repaint. It got repainted before the bonus pic, but isn't readily seen.

Jason
For the SMAW, I am always forgetting that I need to paint a yellow ring at that removable end piece.
And without Zap's moustache, I myself am incomplete.
