As a kid Thunder was one of my favorite Joes, and so was the Slugger. I've wanted to do one of these for years and finally got all the parts together I wanted.
The vest, pants and boots are stock. The shirt has been dyed brown. I combined a radio headset onto the helmet, which came with the visor bracket. I do need to paint the lens, and I'm testing some paint for that but also looking for colored plastic. The pistol holster and mag pouch were modified to slide onto the vest loops. The monocular is a modified rifle scope to which I added the strap and brackets. On the workbench is the weapon from the slugger. It's not done yet, and I'll post pics when it's finished. I'm pretty stoked about this one. It's been a while since I had some playtime and I'm pretty pleased with how he came out. There's a few other 12" customs on the workbench. I'll post pics as I finish. John |
