More Retaliation kitbashes, headswaps and LBCs

[musashi3000gt]

Hey guys, just a few headswaps and LBCs right quick.

I know alot of people are turned off by Retliation and I can relate. I however saw an opportunity to update some of my older figures into modern era.
Im using Duke here as Redzone. His face sculpt kinda reminded me of Redzone minus the beard obviously. I just slapped a SB helmet and Resolute Stalker webgear and vioala, my new Redzone.

Next up is Checkpoint, another SB turned Joe. I just swapped Sgt. Stone's head in and added a quick release sling for his rifle and SMG.

Yeah I know, he looks nothing like the original Checkpoint but then again most new figures look nothing like thier namesake!

And lastly I swapped Roadblocks head in for Supermans! Yup, that there is DC Heroes Superman's head, the skin tone is a match. The hair is from ROC The Doctor.

The size and bulkyness reminded me of Major Barrage, plus both The Rock and Barrage were wrestlers so there my nerd mind made yet another connection. So this is my ME Major Barrage for now I guess.

Sweet customs!!!
Please do tell about the sling, I've been trying to find a better way to do those for quite some time.

yeah, just thin leather cord and .20 guage wire. This is the same setup I did for Lifeline a while back. You can see the same type of sling a little clearer in this pic:
