This is really, really cool.. Tripwire was one of my favorites.
Only one minor minor minor gripe and that's that the cable to the helmet just seems to go through a hole in the helmet... seems like it should be able to plug-in somehow instead. |

Someone asked me what it took to make Tripwire so I thought I would share.
Body: Random body and head sculpt by Dragon Helmet: Dragon HGU-33 Flight helmet painted w/Krylon Camouflage Green w/fusion Flight Suit/Body Armor/Kneepads: BBI Chuck Morris SWAT Body Armor Accessories: single magazine pouches/GPS pouch/pouch on back/radio holder by Toy Soldier Radio: Toy Soldier w/head strap (I had to pop the mic part off the strap and glue it to helmet) Chemlights: Very hot Toys Boots: Toy Soldier Vietnam era boots Minesweeper: Hasbro Minesweeper painted w/Krylon Camouflage Green w/fusion Remote Robot: Expert Toys Before painting the pieces wash them and paint with a brushed on Acrylic paint first so the spray paint doesn’t stay tacky. Most of the parts were purchased from Monkey Depot - The Finest in Scale Military and Good Stuff To Go - Action Figures

Yeah, Thanks!
I have been writing my own filecard type backstories for my "real world" 12" joe customs and I kinda deal with the clumsy issue in a way that matches up to your comment TRIPWIRE: EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal)/E-4 Specialist Tripwire has never been busier. We were wondering how come the Taliban and insurgent fighters had grown so expert in the employment of IED’s and other forms of sabotage and guerilla warfare. It seems this new player, Cobra has some of the best explosive operatives in the world working with and training our enemies. Tripwire has isolated one of their signatures; he goes by the name of Firefly. Now Tripwire, a guy who would trip on his way to the lavatory, is on a mission and hasn’t bruised himself since he isolated FF’s detonators and this Cobra link. Tripwire is one of the best in the EOD world. I plucked him from the training school at Ft. Bragg. Hope he is up to this Cobra challenge.
