Finally finished making my modern Grid Iron. I used the 50th Duke as a base and basically added vintage stuff to it and some holsters for holding the pistol and football grenades.
The hardest part was finding a decently priced vintage Grid Iron. Throwing the football grenade Helmet off

So cool. I have been looking for the helmet since I had misplaced mine long ago. Great looking custom.

I copied the idea of using this Duke's body for Grid Iron off someone here who did it when he first got the 50th Duke. I just couldn't copy using this body as Grid Iron until I finally got a complete one. Of course, now I have a mint but headless vintage Grid Iron figure.

Nice but you need to color him to use his vintage toy mold

Thanks for the comments.
As for painting, I don't intend to as in the real army, not everything will match. Also, I literally just copied this recipe off someone as a cheap and simple way to make Grid Iron without worrying about paint chipping and stuff. If I were to paint him, I would go all the way and paint him in the orignal colors where his pants are yellow and sleeves are green. Just don't care enough about this figure to go the whole nine yards.
