A friend of mine on Bantha Skull was asking me what I would do to make the Deadpool figure better. Well, I told him all the things I had done to the first Deadpool figure I customized. It was a bit more than he wanted to do...so I offered to do it for him.
My payment? A bottle of his home brewed witbeer. This might be the first commission payment in beer form I've read about. Enough words for now...more after the pics. First thing I did was get rid of that god awful web gear. I think it would choke him to death before it was actually useful. I replaced it with the web gear from the 25th Cobra Driver...it's my personal favorite. Next, I looked for something to replace his hands with, and thought of Beachhead first. I also replaced his feet as I thought the boots looked a lot better than the stocking feet he had. Next I took off some of the bottom of the holster so it could accommodate a different pistol (I used the Striker pistol from Marauder). After I put the web gear on him, it was missing something...his belt buckle. I carefully shaved it off he existing web gear, shaved down the buckle on the Cobra web gear and glued the buckle on. I went through my fodder box about three times looking for the perfect sword and finally landed on the City Strike Snake Eyes sword and scabbard. The peg was cut off and a notch was cut in top so it would sit on the gear better. The web gear was glued closed, and a couple of dabs of glue are on the shoulders to keep it down. I gave him a few other Marauder guns and he's done. Questions, comments, gripes? |

dude, this is cool. All I did with mine was centered the gear and lowered the swords.
