Good call on Destro's gold head. Really fits that outfit better than the silver.

Thanks, Clock!

I have seen the Classified Clutch and think it is a very worthy figure. So much so that I have updated my V1 and V2 Clutch kitbashes to reflect the Classified figure.
Some of the changes include
1. Switching from the Trooper torso to a Contract T-Shirt torso.
2. Changing the LWH helmet for a Half-Shell helmet
3. Adding pouches on the 86 vest where previously there were none and moving the holster down nearer the waist
4. Changing the bare hands to black padded gloves
5. Beefing up the pouches on the thighs from large pockets to double magazine pouches
6. Adding knee pads
7. Beefing up the pouches on the calves from small pockets to large pockets

Thanks, guys!

I started making Joerauders shortly after the first MTF Kickstarter back in 2014. Man! Almost a decade. Even from the very beginning I half-heartedly tried to find a way to make this next guy. It was always going to be a tongue-in-cheek build. Just something to show off and for people to chuckle and think how silly it was to even bother with this figure. I never could get my teeth into a good build. Well, guess what?

I still haven?t.

But I figured why not just throw something together? That is what Hasbro did. So, I dusted off a very old tactical vest that I painted years ago for an unused V1 Airborne. I also grabbed my one good Joy Toy helmet. I have been itching to use it, I think it looks really cool. I know the original figure does not have any silver on him, but I am sure I will be forgiven. I had a leftover Strato-Ops torso (the legs have just been used for my Star Brigade Adm. Ledger). The Security-Ops legs that I used for this build are so old that they may be from the first Kickstarter. They do not fit any waist correctly. I guess that is why I have not used them until now. Add in a hodgepodge of blue and black accessories and I present the Star Brigade explosives expert (and, weirdly, also the Star Brigade specials effects trooper, huh?)

Holy crap I love this recipe.

Effects is still on my to-do list, gonna take a few pages from yours for sure.

Effects is quite badass!

[Steel Brigade]

That's a pretty cool take my man. Nice way of modernizing him & fun colors!

Big win on Effects, one of the more peculiar ARAH figures. You surpassed Hasbro's take by simply giving him gloves (because, you know, space!). The helmet is awesome, too.
