Now that's a nice custom. I really like the use of the POC Duke rifle as a Laser rifle. Maybe switch out the left upper leg with a resolute characters for a more integrated holster?

The leg holster is actually removable, making it functional and able to have him fit in tighter vehicles like the Skyhawk, Rhino and Dragonhawks

I like everything except the vest... It doesn't look protective, like Flash should have... May I suggest using a PoC Hiss Driver/Resolute Destro (comic pack) chest piece, just to give him a look that isn't "cookie cutter" like? You could paint it red to keep in character. Just a thought...

Thanks for the feedback peeps!
Flash was the first Joe I got way back in 82 (straight arm, no less) and for whatever reason, he's been my fave for 30 plus years now. and I WAS NOT happy with the ROC version...the 25th, was okay, besides the shaved monkey face. But the core body is awsome which ends up being the basis for most of my Flash customs. However, the SBD provided the PERFECT base for a TON of O13 redo's. Originally it was a Zap redeco, but I rarely use Zap in any dio I work on. Someone on here (I can't remember who, but I am insanely jealous...) did the whole O13 using SBD/Shock Viper body style, and it looked superb. I stole a few people's idea... Stripped them down, and that's that. I know I can add a few tweaks to the figure itself, but I really don't want to. Flash is my boy. He's the main character in my dios (when I do get around to finishing them) He know's his technical crap, but he joined the army to make a difference. He was a high school quarterback in Lodi CA. Actually a much better calculator than Short Fuze...but he's my main guy, so Really. my Jason Statham of the Joe team. Highly badass, but subdued, til you piss him off. then he can unlesh hell. So yes, he is a bit underdressed...but he's developed a laser that dosen't emit radient radiation that shortens life spans, and it's not simply used for lazing targets. This is GI Joe, SCTU: Delta. Not real life, and MY Flash is f'n hardcore. Plus Jason Statham...Nuff said. MY Flash, is Jaso Statham (Just with more hair) Zing

Send me the bits young son! It's rather hard to find the bits and pieces here in Chicago. so my customs are special. However, send me the goods, I'll do it up, plus it's always nice when some ACTUALLY enjoys and APPRECIATES what I do.
The hardest to find would be the DTC Low-Light vest. In payment, (also considering the main body is a SBD) Shoot me off a green VAMP MK2 in box and vest. I'll track down a Renegades Duke head and make the koostum up for ya! The VAMP will be the payment.
