Here's my modern Salvo.
I removed the beard from a Retaliation Roadblock. In the helmetless pic, it looks bad cause of the lighting, but in person, it looks has a nice effect cause without the bright light, his head isn't so shiny so the contrast is not as bad. However, it looks best with his helmet on which is the way I intend to display him anyways. Did some weathering on the weapons and added a second handle on the launcher cause it just was too unstable otherwise. The brown wrap on his right arm is padding for him on his arm when supporting the launcher (well, I actually just needed a way to cover the Arashikage tattoo as those are from the green Retalitaion Roadblock that had the tattoo). He has all his vintage gear: Without helmet: Classic pose holding both weapons Making use of the second handle on launcher: Launcher details:

If you have nail polish remover or 90% alcohol or better.. it will remove the paint on figures. Pretty much just need a good acetate to remove paint without harming the figure. Such as the beard and tattoos. Just and fyi.

I didn't want to risk acetone ruining the figure cause originally, I didn't paint. All I did was paint the words on his shirt. This is an old picture without flash from before I painted the weapons and in normal light, he looks really good. Light just tends to bring out things you don't normally see.

Those parts work great for Salvo. I hope the club has something designed as well for FSS 5.0

I know I will sound like a jerk for this, but I cant stop laughing at "the right of might"
You can tell it was just sharpied in. And the colored beared. Omg, classic custom. I am horrible at customs and applaud the great work. This custom really cheered me up on a horrible night I am having. |

Adding a second handle was a great idea may end up doing the same to mine.

Thanks. I do hope the club releases him in FSS 5 as I'd love an official version of this guy and Backblast

Seconded! And I think this recipe works well for both of them. We know the club likes to reuse the same bodies (Bombardier and GS, TF and regular Alpine, regular and TF Frosbite). Just use different heads, paint, and accessories and you've got Salvo and Backblast. I don't even think either would need a new head, though it would be nice. Let's hope the club has realized how easy both of these would be and has them in FSS 5 already.
