I’m in the process of making modern versions of the original 13 figures. This is my modern custom Short Fuse. I currently do not have a mortar for him, that’s why there’s not one pictured.
I used Skydive’s legs for his lower legs. I hate the idea of an ankle holster, so I moved it from his left ankle to right thigh and put a working boot knife sheath where the holster had been.

I love this look for the Originals. But for Short Fuse, I think he needs some glasses. That's really all he had going for him. Well, that and his temper which was never really used as well as it should have been in the comics. Have you tried the Lifeline or movie version of Hawkeye head with the figure?

It aint Short-Fuze unless he has the mismatched brown boots (j/K ).
I think he looks great! (since he was my first Joe).

I like how he looks. I have a Short Fuze in the works too using a different DG figure's body.

I based him on the figure, not his comic appearance... It's a good idea, but I don't have the money to buy a cast of the Lifeline head. I had this one sitting around, plus every other customizer seems to be using glasses for him. This head makes mine a little more unique.

Looks really good! It's cool that you went with the original look of the figure. If, at some point , you want to give him glasses, try the ones that came with Henry Jones from the Indy line.
