Decided to show some minor tweaks on figures that I think make them much better. I'm still hoping to get a fixed arm Breaker though and then my Breaker will be complete. I drilled out a hole in the backpack and put a pen ink holder into it and glued it into the backpack to make a peg. Did the same for Mainframe.

Mainframe: sorry about the blurry backpack pictures. Camera's not very good with macro mode but basically cut off the original peg and the part of the frame around it that would touch the back of his belt so backpack will sit more flush. Drilled out the hole (the gap isn't big enough so I had to drill a hole, works perfectly) and then glued the ink refill into that hole to make the peg. Then drilled a small hole in walkie talkie thing to place onto the backpack as shown.

Quick Kick: I moved his backpack peg. I cut it down at an angle so there would be extra length to stick into the upper hole. Glued peg in place and now his backpack doesn't stick out anymore.
Added a side view picture.

Scrap Iron: Arctic head on comic pack body gives me the cartoon version.
Urban Tele Viper: VvV Gung Ho vest on Arctic Scrap Iron body with Arctic Scrap Iron head and gear. You can see the urban Vipers around him. That's what I use the Arctic Vipers for. Extra strapless Dusty: Bought a second one cause first one didn't have straps, but any version of the Stalker, SE, etc. webgear fits well. Put desert Mjr Bludd scarf on him so now he's a generic trooper. The head is Steelers. Can't see it here but I drilled a hole in the bottom of Crankcase's hand so he can put his fist over the gear shifter or on the top of the steering wheel.

Mjr Bludd: Fully operational right arm. The mid joint is a Legions CC midjoint.
Alpine: Cut and reglued his gauntlets. I copied someone else's idea. Makes it so much easier to hold weapons.

Roadblock: Cut and dremeled out spytroops head and put on him.
Grunt: Nothing new here, just putting SRO Grunt head on CP Duke body. Baroness: Blue version's hair on the 5 pack head. Don't need this figure anymore now that the new Baroness is coming out so if anyone wants it, just let me know and we can trade.

Oh yeah, forgot about that tweak...haha. When I first got those I was looking at the packs to see if they had backpack holes or not before buying them.

Cool. I really like the scrap iron idea and that Alpine mod is really innovative.
