Thanks for sharing these ideas Stonewall. You put a lot of work into that vest. I love seeing this exploration. And about the Mezco wrists, what is it about the original wrists that you wanted to change? I've never had a Mezco figure, and I haven't bought many Classified figures yet, so I don't know the difference.
As for the wrist joints. Oh the simple issue I have is the Hasbro ones are limited to either up-down/left-right. With these mezco wrist pins, they have full movement. If you do not have any mezco a cheaper option is Revoltec joints. I have been upgrading my 1/18 with the same style wrist pins on those guys for decades. You get more articulation with the hands which greatly aids in Weapons holding. The limited option Hasbro do, really needs retiring now. Last edited by Stonewall; 02-16-2021 at 05:04 AM.. |

Thanks and I have made quite a few now Molle and Chest plate carrier vests in cloth. Various colours and camos for my figures. I find they work better as do not restrict the torso and arms (firing positions) articulation unlike plastic.
