Monkeywrench
Parts:
Head,chest (extended),Grenade strap, upper legs (modded)-DTC Monkeywrench
Upper Arms,waist (modded),boots(modded)-JvsC Ripper
Lower Arms-DTC Salvo
Lower legs-JvsC Wild Bill
I liked the DTC Monkeywrench but just wanted something that looked more like the original. I felt that the DTC version would make a really good Machete as time went on it just didn't work for me. None of Monkeywrench's trademark stuff was going on with that figure. I wanted him to have his red shirt and to be more bikerish. I also wanted to add a "sweaty" look to the guy. I remember during his introduction in "Arise Serpentor Arise" he definatly had a sleazy way about him as he waited for the other new Dreadnoks potentials to fight it out and then he just lobbed a grenade into them all. I wanted to get that "sleaze" feel across here and I figure none of the Dreadnoks are high on hygiene but I felt Monkeywrench really takes this to heart.
It took me forever to find a leg combination that worked for me. I ultimatley ended up chopping up Wild Bill's legs and adding Rippers lower legs to it then sculpting the entire bottom of the leg from his knee pad to the ripped up jeans part of the Ripper lower leg. It was alot more work then I had wanted to do but in the end I was really happy with the result.
