Here's my latest take on Mercer and Taurus. I'm not finished with Red Dog as I'm still waiting for some parts and deciding how to do his webgear.
My previous Mercer used ROC Monkeywrench upper legs modded to accept Mercer's lower legs. However, this made him too tall. I managed to get an extra set of Mercer legs so I was able to do some modding without fear. I also left the holster out a bit more so the vest doesn't interfere with the pistol. As for Taurus, the only thing I added to my previous mods (fixed knees so he can stand, fixed head so he can look forward, and gave him Zanzibar's webgear) is I added a backpack for him. It sits high to accomodate the knife (and I was actually just too lazy to move the peg).

I took a sharp exacto knife and cut out some of the material behind the knee pad on the bottom side. Then I cut the front top part of the shins so they don't stick out so far. That allows the leg to stand straight(er). I did the same thing with the Black Dragon VTOL pilot. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ooper-mod.html
I'll see if I'm able to take some closeups next time.

Thanks guys! Anyone have a suggestion for webgear for Red Dog? Can't seem to find anything that would fit.
