Here are some of my attempts to modify my figures a little bit. I'm still getting the hang of painting.
The first is my attempt at what Lo-Wan Bing did with his Baroness. I like the dark glasses, although I may try silver. I also swapped out the older crotch for the new wave 8 one. I haven't painted the belt trim gray (I have to get gray or maybe white paint first). Next up is Roadblock. I gave him Flint's gloved hands. They are a little too small for his forearms so I don't know if I'll keep them, although he does hold his gun slightly better now. (I know it's not clear in the pic - I can take more if anyone wants.) I also put DTC Roll Bar's helmet on him to distract me from his small noggin.

Here's Flint with short-sleeves as already shown here by Eopie Herder.
This is my fix of Breaker's arms. I didn't get the skin color right on the arms - I'm going to try again when I can get a few more paint colors. I don't want to move his arms yet until I'm sure everything is dry. This makes his arms a little more muscular than I would prefer for Breaker, but I like them more than the Duke arms. Now, I need to decide if I want to paint a beard on him. Any thoughts? Then there's the Rock 'n' Roll I showed last weekend.

Finally, I gave Crankcase some goggles in case he needs them while he's driving the AWE Striker. They don't actually fit his face, but they work fine for his helmet. I can't decide if they make his big head seem bigger or not!

The goggles come from the Superman Returns missile launching/arctic gear Lex Luthor. I figured he needs something over his eyes while driving around in the mud with no windshield!

You know, I just made up my mind this morning to give him a beard! Since I've gone this far. I'll show pics once I get it done.

those are great. The Baroness has to get the touch-up, no doubt. They all look fantastic. I think it's funny how many tweeks and swaps a lot of us have to do to get the figures to "feel" right. little things like gluing down Maj.Bludd's rockets and tags to swapping Destro's metalic comic pak head for the non-shiny one on the Legion pack... I don't think I've seen a custom yet that I didn't think looked better than what Hasbro issued. (but props to Hasbro for getting us 'any' version of the little guys to begin with that makes all the customizing possible)
