Like what the others are saying, this Flint is hardcore, badass, not to be fucked with, seen some serious shit, will kick your ass just for the sake of kicking your ass!
The build is excellent. Love the scars on his face. Perfect job on him Slice.
My man. Thanks a lot for the kind words. Not to be modest but this is my favorite version of Flint.

Very cool, and I love the armory's worth of shells he's got strapped to himself. Making everything lefthand draw is just icing!
Got to man. I’ve liked Flint better than Duke( you still my boy Dukie) , so I had to make him a lot more badass.
As for the left hand, I want to make the military accurate. Very OCD about that stuff.

I like the build, which makes him more of a hard case than the original seemed to be, but it still stays within the realm of it being the same person, just a more seasoned, grizzled version of him. The head, from Angel Forge, isn't bad, but I prefer making Flint with a removable beret (he was the first figure that I gave one to when that became a reality). The t-shirt torso is my go-to look for him now, but your choice in vest (is it a modded JoyToy one?) takes him over the top! The camo on the pants looks great, but like kuh rupht, I am drawn to the... boots, of all things. However, my reasoning for the boots getting noticed is that you actually took the time to paint the laces! Now that is bold, brother! I mean, I give mine a dry brushing, to get them to stand out, but you went all in, painting each section of the laces (though you may need to touch on the upper section of the left boot). The JoyToy gloved hands are a fantastic choice, having a lot more detail than other brands. I like that you have the necklace showing, but tucked under the vest. One thing that is missing in your pictures of this figure is a shot from the back, as you have him carrying all kinds of weaponry, which shows from the front shots, but it would be nice to see how it is configured on his back(pack?). Once again, your paints are precise and the colors perfect for the figure you've built.

My only complaint is that there are no pics of the back of the figure! I'd love to see what kind of shotgun holster/backpack set up Flint's got going on.

Well these are the compliment I really love to see. Is bringing to life your guys favorite characters
Where you appreciate everything done.
Blending all areas and criteria of a figure is easier said than done, but when the end result is like this Flint, then it’s all worth it.
Thanks you all very very much for checking out my work.
As always greatly appreciated!
