i've been in love with the concept art blowtorch since the second i saw it (courtesy of gyre-viper and roshan posting it years ago). while i may be in the minority in still preferring his original color scheme, the more muted yellow with the green pads looks fantastic, too. and considering blowtorch is my favorite joe ever, making a custom of seemed like a no brainer.
BUT at the time blowtorches were in short supply (ha!) and i didn't have the balls to try and repaint the only one i had. now, of course, hasbro has gone and released a blowtorch that i assume is supposed to be based on slaughterhouse custom co-founder cdt weasel's original custom that was based off of merklin's art. i say 'supposed' because the base olive drab/brown/weird/doo doo color of the 50th figure doesn't look anything like the art or the custom. at all. not even close. now, i may be a touch color blind (so some will say) but from looking at merklin's art he looks to still be yellow, just a more muted, faded out shade (with perhaps a tiny tinge of tan) than the super bright yellow the figure ended up being. SO that's what i'm going for here- as concept art accurate as i can get. -slightly less bright yellow -gun holster on right thigh -gunmetal for the hose from the blowtorch to the back pack (sort of tough to tell in the pic) -green pads on shoes (i figured b.a.t. feet were as good as it was gonna get without sculpting) with an unpainted one for contrast |

Honestly, I never get tired of the BT's you keep cranking out. The cross-draw holster is a perfect addition. Nicely done!
