I really like the build for Backstop and he's a figure I've been excited about ever since seeing the Sky Patrol head from last year's Con knowing we would likely get Backstop.
One thing I did not like was the non-working holster. I prefer a holster that will work with his revolver. A little thought and some bravery later I now have a working holster. I removed the non-functioning holster and replaced it with an MTF pouch. I also added a knife holster to his right boot leg. All 3 items were carefully drilled out with a 3/32 drill to allow the MTF pegs to work. I'm very happy I was brave enough to drill it after seeing the finished product. Much better now! If a Mod could fix the sideways pictures that would be awesome. Paging Dr. Xerofall.....

Does look good. If I ever get one, I already have plans for modding Just can't afford him at the moment.

You're brave, I just bought a shoulder rig from MGR to hold his sidearm and knife.

I've been staring at him this afternoon and I think he needs a belt.
A knife holster on his shoulder/chest might look good too. I'll drill a scrap torso first and see what it looks like.

When I get him, I'm going to use 50th anniversary verion of General Hawk's gun belt and if it fits loosely, then I'll stick the knife inbetween.
