So here's the thing. Tiger Force was always in my view a "improvised" warfare training regiment out in the middle of the jungle. Everyone knew each other from time spent at the Pit, so maybe training in improvised tactics was a little hard when everyone knows each other really well. Well, the Tiger Force member Wreckage never had a previous figure made of him so I always thought, maybe he was the wild card in the mess, pushing the other team members harder and constantly catching them off guard since most likely no one knew him previously.
When I got back into collecting after 15 years, it was one of Inner Sanctum's diostories that got me back. And one of the characters introduced to me was Wreckage. So there's my tie in. But really this is a "trying to clear out the loose parts" kind of custom. Put it together and paint it in a few hours. I could have made a direct Firefly repaint but I liked the idea of breaking from that and using a mix of him and Beachhead, since the newer beachhead is a thousand times better and I no longer display the old one. So outside of detailing, and toning down the bright colors, I did put a real knife in the right leg. |
