So after thinking long and hard about what to call this fellow, I figured I would just name him after my FAVORITE joe, Dusty. Im a touch of a purist when it comes to dusty and if the figure doesnt meet certain criteria it will not be considered Dusty to me. These i will not really delve into, because it would take forever. Lets just say that, even with the beard, I feel that this would be a possible modern-ish incarnation of the character. Mostly he was an experiment with modding BBI parts, and doing a different style of camo painting, let me know what you think!
Recipe: Head: Cast Torso: BBI Arms: Ret. Joe Colton Waist/ Legs: DG Shipwreck Accessories: Rifle: BBI Holster and pistol: 25th Joe webgear Waist pouches and grenades: 25th Shockblast Thigh Knife: Ret. Ult. Duke Lower back pouch: Ret. Clutch Belt buckle: 25th CP Storm Shadow Kneepads: 50th Beachhead Neck Wrap: POC Temple Snake-Eyes

The head obviously differs from what I'd expect to be a Dusty. On the other hand, it's all interpretation. I dig the setup. Nice job!

Thanks everyone!

For me, any dusty custom needs a reference to the helmet flap, thus the neck wrap on this one. He could have easily been a new character, and with a couple minutes work I could easily do a head swap to make it more classical in design.

True true, I felt like running with the popularity of paramilitary beards and such. It throws most people expecting to see him with a bit more of his classic look. For me, any dusty custom needs a reference to the helmet flap, thus the neck wrap on this one.
