First off, a special thanks to CrimsonGuard101 who posted in the local group a couple of weeks ago that you can head swap BnB Slaughter's head to the Benchpress body and that the color matches up pretty closely. From there I took the idea one step further. By using the BnB head and two Benchpress bodies, you can part swap everything to create a solid Slaughter without painting. All you need is some hot water and a screwdriver.
I swapped the extra bare forearm from the second figure to the left are and exchanged hands. This gave me a pair of forearms with no tattoos and thus no need to sand off the ink. The knee pad from the second figure was also swapped over by popping out the lower leg pin and again exchanging the parts between the two figures. The result is awesome, as you can see. The skintone between the BnB head and the BP body is slightly different, but you will never notice unless you look really hard.

You can cut it down to one BP if you carefully take the tat off with nailpolish remover. It doesn't eat the soft plastic - just the harder plastic. The kneepad personally wouldn't bother me, as I assume a Sargent would be willing to take a knee & blast his enemies full of lead.
