Been working on this fella for a few months now.
Had a couple WIP pics up but decided to start from scratch. here you have the result of hard work, and stealing ideas from my fellow customizers. recipe: head/torso/legs: Black haired Greenshirt arms: POC Jungle Duke vest: 25th Clutch arm bands: MU X-23 Air tank/mask: Lifeline's hat: ROC PIT trooper belt: 25th Hawk (modded) machete: Marauder's rifle: 25th Falcon/similar boogie board: original Muskrat's thought you guys might like to see my first attempt. using completely different parts.

The wrist straps actually came from MU X-23.
once you pop the hands off, the straps slide right off the arm. than its just a matter of putting them on the Muskrat arms.

Nice work, I love Muskrat and this version of him is very cool. Nice and clean paint and good choice of parts.

Very nice. I'm totally going to use this recipe. I've been stuck for months trying to figure out how to fix my Muskrat I've been working on, so I really appreciate you posting this.

I think it looks kinda sad, actually. :(
It's basically: 25 gung ho body and legs poc jungle duke arms pit commando hat red haired 25th green shirt head poc jungle duke back pack vintage boogey board airtight's shotgun jungle bat machete 25th Mutt vest (repainted) the biggest issue with it is paint. I repainted the vest, the hat and the legs. unfortunately, being as it was my first custom, I got the wrong kind of paint (used glossy, should have used flat finish), so the figure looks way to shiny/slick. Not to mention I can't get the paint to stop rubbing off the joints in the knees (no matter how much I've sanded them down). Your recipe is awesome though since it minimizes the amount of painting that is needed. Which makes me happy since I'll still have to repaint the boonie hat (when I get the right paint of course). So thank you for posting the recipe for this custom since it means I may actually be able to finish Muskrat before the end of the year.
