I wanted a Tunnel Rat that was ideal for actual catacomb exploration and subterranean combat. I put a lot of thought into what gear he would carry, and what he would wear, including knee and elbow pads for crawling around when necessary.
In my mind his back story is that he was the son of a Vietnam Vet, a Tunnel Rat. He was always intrigued by his father’s stories about clearing Vietnamese tunnels during the war. So when he grew up he became the ultimate subterranean soldier. As part of the Joe team, he has to checkout and clear the various sewers, abandoned subway tunnels and logistical subterranean storage and service areas that Cobra utilizes to avoid detection in the various “Springfield” installations! The coolest thing about this figure is the custom pistol and holster I made for him. I attached a light to a Marauder Gun Runners silenced tactical pistol and sculpted a working holster for it! It’s my best sculpt yet. Based on this real holster: I also made the modded resolute holster on his left leg a working flashlight holder:

That is fantastic! How is he in relation to the other joes in size? I always saw Tunnel Rat as small in stature. And I want about two dozen of those holsters!! Great job!
