Last night I was bored and decided to make my Tripwire figure a little more worth the space he was taking up on my shelf. I began by repainting his boots and gloves so that they were the same shade of gray and replaced his belt with one that holds a sidearm (thanks Eddie!).
After that, I thought "still not good enough." Busted out my dremel and knives and set to work on hollowing out his head. It took about an hour, going back and forth with sanding bits and my xacto knife, but I finally got it to where it fit correctly. The only part I couldn't save was the chinstrap. EDIT: It's not poop on his face! LOL... I just used an extra Duke head w/ painted on stubble. Someone send me a clean Duke head! Last edited by UMAN; 01-28-2009 at 12:54 AM.. |

I hate Tripwire, although I originally liked him. I wish his helmet came off, and he definitely needs a weapon (and a holster to house it).
2 vast improvements, if you ask me. |

The removable helmet is awesome. I love the addition of a sidearm. What is all over his chin?
