short fuze and rock & roll by the odinson

[the odinson]

just using the wonderful dollar general duke to make the 25th original 13 a little more faithful to the old ones.
i always hated the 25th rock and roll's upper legs (that they of course used on every other damn figure), so he was first to get a new body. painted his helmet and lower arm sleeves to get a little closer to the green on the new figure, still not perfect but it'll do.
for short fuze i painted his straps black, the tabs of his hands green (they were flesh colored and kinda stuck out if the hand wasn't pushed all the way in), gave him a back pack like his old figure, and modded his helmet so the visor would snap on (just drilled a little hole on each side- if you line it up where the vertical seam meets the horizontal strap it's just right and it also makes the helmet fit a little tighter, which is good).
cut the holster's off both their belts, figured on sidearm apiece was enough.
now to get one more so i can retire my pit commando grunt. and then one more for breaker. and one more for clutch. hell, i need to get a bunch more, these are great figures.

[the odinson]

thanks, guys. need to get a mortar for short fuze, hoping i can score one at con this year.

Sweet.
Just need to paint them dirty em up an drop into a warzone.

trust me, i would like to, but i keep my classic arah update stuff clean. poc/30th/customs/different interpretations of old characters go one one shelf and are fair game for washes, drybrushing, battle damaging, zombification, etc. modern era versions of arah stuff i try to make as accurate to the old ones as i can, keep 'em clean, and on a different shelf.

where in the fung did you get a zap without a mustache?

it's a super rare variant i picked up in a dark back alley in china.




i just very lightly scratched it off, hit it with a tiny bit of nail polish remover. i still kinda regret it- i was torn between my love of mustaches and desire to get my figures as arah accurate as possible.

Hells yeah mane. Now see what you do right...... is you take some shit and just splatter it every where on them. Don't hold back and try to be all Picasso with it. Just slop that shit on there! And by shit I mean paint not actual doo doo ;)
