Thanks. The Alpine mod was copied from someone else. Can't remember his user id but he posted his in the thread about how to put Alpine's gear on. The gun is actually connected onto his belt using the hole in the back of the belt as someone else had described.

So, I just got this idea from another Hisstank member. It never occured to me until he told me how close to the Spy Troops Grunt one of the Greenshirts look. I changed the head of my Grunt custom and I like this a lot better.
For Shortfuze, I found his neck was too high and I didn't like the darker color so I modifed the neck on a comic pack Duke and did some changes to it to come up with this. I'm waiting for a custom Short Fuze webgear and then he'll be complete. Oh yeah, if anyone has a spare vintage Short Fuze backpack to spare, please give me a PM.

I did the mod that a fellow tank showed us by cutting the pegs off the suicide wrist Duke arms. I like how it turned out and the wrists can turn as well.
Took this idea from another tanker, just took off the chest plate on Matt Tracker and cut off his neck piece. I wish this was how Ace was originally made. The head is from the SRO2 so his eyes aren't so weird.

All I did was put the snakes, the helmet and cowl onto Serpentor from the DVD set.
I hate painting but I can't believe what a huge difference cutting out the visor makes on the Para Viper

The Best Of DVD set CC's parachute pack can be modified to fit on AVAC. The best part is that he fits in the vehicle with it on.

I hate how you can't hold the control stick on the Sky Hawk. Well, with a paper clip and some electrical tape, I came up with this:
It's quite cheesy, but at least the figure won't move around and it's not like I stare at it closely so, I'm happy with it. The next picture shows why I love the window boxes:

Small tweeks are the best...
And by the way I was the one who did the Alpine mod... I'm glad you were able to copy it, it makes it a hell of a lot better.

A nice collection of small tweaks. Some of them make a huge difference. Thanks for posting them.

Great job on everything. This is the approach I take to my collection - I buy them all and they look good, but some minor mods can make them so much better.
