Like the Spirit custom in my other thread, I wanted to convert this Flint into as close to vintage style as possible. I’m one of those collectors who does not like modernized versions of the vintage figures (same thing with the Transformers line utilizing modern vehicle models instead of the originals), and especially any kind of futuristic Tech with those characters. What I did here:
-removed his entire harness, cut out the body armor components on the front and back, separated the ammo belt from the rest of the harness, slimmed down all the straps, and glued it back together directly onto his shirt -Replaced his shotgun with the one from NECA’s Aliens Hicks -mixed a green camo paint closer to the vintage figure, and repainted much of his legs -removed the armor pieces from his boots, turned the boot 180 degrees to face the peg holes for the armor backwards, and turned the feet back forward, cut little pieces of fabric for his boot wraps and painted them the same color as the camo pattern -replaced his sidearm with the one from Spirit, and repainted the leg holster the same color as the pants |

That looks so much better than the Hasbro release... I don't understand why they didn't do Flint more like this, and for that matter why they added the shin armor to so many of the figures. I mean seriously, would you go out into battle with only shin armor on? If they were going to armor up some figures, they should have gone all in. Otherwise, it doesn't make a lot of sense. They could have at least made it removable if they wanted to add it to the figures. Enough venting; your tweaked Flint wins out over Hasbro's!

Hey looks great man. I’m not into classified myself, but that is a vast improvement from what Hasbro put out for sure!

Convection ovens are a newer type of oven that use a fan to circulate hot air around the food. This results in faster cooking times and more even heating. Convection ovens can be either gas or electric. https://ovengenius.com/best-oven-safe-skillet/
