Great work on that, and I love the pictures. But...since you're using the same arms and head, it seems like a lot of work to add a torso swivel. Especially when the old torso actually looked better. Some new legs might help make him look a bit bigger though. The ones from the 50th Leatherneck look like they might be a close color match.

are you going to match the neck paint with the head and arms?
also why swap the head ball out? i never trusted glue to hold it on, i just dremel out the head to fit the body. |

Super Glue may be a little weak for the neck ball joint. A Lil dab of Duco Cement, however, will set for life!

Your not kidding. In the past I had different glues do crappy jobs but I found that this particular brand holds up extremely well. I'm very particular about sanding and filling the mating surfaces. if done right it will hold like hell. I'll try the Duco cement on some upcoming mods for sure, thanks for the advice.

Thank you very kindly. The vest is the original one that came with Major Barrage. I bought some of those soldier of valor (or whatever they are called) figures from Target. They are like 5 bucks a figure and bring alot of cool molded gear. I cut out the chest of one and glued it to the inside of the vest so it looks like a sapi plate carrier. Then i cut some of "Target soldier toy's" molle pouches and glued them to the bottom of the vest. The back has a loop of leather cord to store the shotgun, the belt is from Retaliation snake eyes.
