Thanks, but it was above my skills too...when I started. The craziest decision I made was to carve out the shoulder harness bits from the hard torso plastic. that was not exactly fun. There is probably another way using easier to get shoulder straps.

The inside-out electrical tape was a nice discovery because it's just tacky enough you can place a piece, decide if you like it, move things around until they're good, and then start gluing on the pieces one by one. The trouble is clipping off the exposed tape cleanly afterward. I'll probably use this technique again sometime. There are no clasps, and it opens slightly on the sides when the torso twists, but it fits well on the torso it was made for.

I see I never answered your question about dremeling out the head, but you probably see that I dremeled out beachhead's neck post. Forgot to get a picture of that.

And for anyone who wants the Retaliation Clutch webgear without all the work, you can buy "Sieze Armor" from Raginspoon. It looks like Steel Brigade webgear base with Clutch webgear parts added. I've never looked at it in hand, but it might look good painted up.

Thanks. Yeah. I saw how you did the head. I wasn't that ambitious in mine. I just Dremeled out the head a bit so it would sit lower on th beachhead neck post. Love your work and thanks for the tape idea!!!

That Beach Head body is perfect...I did a similar rescue...but dude you put in overtime on that vest.

Great job. He looks fantastic.

[Mr Hebime]

That's all kinds of awesome!

[46 Zone]

Dude. You should see if one of the castors can cast that vest!!!

Backwards electrical tape to customize webgear???!!! Who'd have thunk it! Think I'm gonna have to build off this knowledge on a couple of customs! That is very ingenious to say the least.
