That's the way they should've been done! Great job. Given all the mods I've seen to the original 13, its no wonder I can't find TF Flint anywhere...

The hands were the ones that came with Clutch. I just chopped off part and re-glued the pegs to them. The pegs have to be shortened a little to fit in the Flint arms. I painted the arms, hands, and neck a color that I made by mixing a few other colors. It took me a while to get a color that was reasonably close to his face color. The arms that come with TF Flint are molded in a darker plastic.

No kidding! I've got one more on pre-order from BBTS because I haven't found any more in the store. I really want to make a custom Falcon. I even have the rest of the body mostly done.

they all look great...
of course the new armed Clutch is now 100% perfect...i really really like this fig to begin with, but what you've is simple icing on the cake... Steeler looks much better also, and his centered harness bugged me too, nice fix...the gap in the helmet/visor also got on my nerves, great updates... and i'm so glad to see that pack on T-V...i'm waiting for my T-V gear in the mail, and i'm happy to see that awesomeness awaits... |

Man! These are fantastic! Really great! Clutch is my favorite when I was a kid and it killed me when I saw that he had Duke arms! You really did a great job on all of these. Are you doing anything special to prevent paint rubbing around the joints? Would you care to share. I use testors model masters acryl with dullcoat and I still have issues. Any pointers? Steeler is THE recipe! Great job- I wouldn't change a thing. The only real crit I have is that I would give Clutch a belt (like the one that comes with Flash). Those waists without belts look like there wearing sweat pants. Other than that- FANTASTIC!

Did you paint the arms and face, or are they the cast color? Also, is that the standard Steeler belt or is that another one, I cant tell in the pic?
They look fantastic! |

No, I didn't paint the faces in these cases, but I did paint Clutch's arms and neck. It is the Steeler belt, but modified to my taste.
