Hey guys, I previously made a custom of Dustblower(a.k.a. Desert Patrol Squad Dusty), but it wasn't too faithful of a ME version so I redid my custom. Original one had a ROC Rescue Duke body, while this new one I used a BBTS Low-Light body. I find it very fitting because the original TRU Exclusive Desert Patrol Dusty figure utilized the 1991 Low-Light mold. Now, I'm fairly certain this is one figure most people would never demand a ME version for, but I figured i'd make it anyway mainly because I like cannon fodder. Hope you like it.
A link to the original custom: https://www.flickr.com/photos/113336...posted-public/ Formula: Head: ROC Zartan Neck brace: 50th Beach-Head Mic/headgear: cast from Daremo of Fighting118th forums Chest harness: Resolute 7-pack Snake Eyes Belt: not sure Body: BBTS Low-Light Dustblower is a lousy shot and yet somehow he's been assigned guard duty at a desert outpost. It's anyone's guess as to how he got there in the first place, but I guess there's one good quality about him---if any invaders try to strike there, he could provide a good distraction. One can only hope he doesn't get killed first...

Nice! That really captures the original's look while fixing its flaws. Great work.
