I had to modify Salvo. I wasn't happy with the legs. The awkward knee pad/lower leg combo was inadequate and I just wasn't digging all the gold.
I used Battle Kata Roadblock legs. I painted the waist to match the tone of green. I also cut off the Battle Kata holsters from the legs. I drilled holes to match MTF pegs. I went with bullets on one leg and a pistol holster on the other. I may order a black holster from MTF to make it look a little better.

This round was...acceptable.
I like both figures probably Sneak Peak more than Flagg but fine additions to my shelves. |

Noticed BBTS has Salvo and Darklon at $45 each but only 11 and 4 left of each. That's either matching or beating eBay prices, but they're not going to last much longer.
They still have their max cart limit of 24 of Viper and Charbroil in stock at an overpriced $45 each. They seem to not be offering pre-orders for the rest of wave 5. Their prices on what FSS 1, 2 and 3 they have left in stock are in line with eBay, or maybe slightly higher. But all of their FSS 4 is overpriced, except for Bullhorn who's on target. |

These two figures both look great. I don't see a neck problem with flag or the vest problem with SP. I wish they didn't have the same heads but I can look past that. Happy to have both in my collection.

I believe 3/32 was the final size. I tried a couple smaller first and worked my way up. I did not want to drill the hole too big and have to glue them in place. This was sort of a test with the intent of using the ammo & holsters on other figures if this worked well.

My only issue is the "file" in Flagg's case. I get what they tried, but it failed spectacularly. Thankfully, it can close and go away, so no big whoop. Otherwise, I am pleased with the figure. Not sure if it is all or just mine, but the painted eyebrows sit lower on him than on any other use of this sculpt, giving him a more stern look that differentiates him from Sneak Peek. As for SP, if he had the riding boots, rolled up sleeves, and helmet stripes, I would have been happier. The original was one I ended up with around 5 of thanks to clearance sales, so I have a soft spot for him and his less popular brethren (my favorite of which is coming later in this FSS).

I know, right? "No, these wrapped stacks of bills TOTALLY look like a manilla folder."
