A continuation of this story: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...wild-bill.html
----- Well the second man responded to the "ad" and surprised Rock N Roll only in how quickly he arrived to the South Florida training compound. Wild Bill's arrival in a mere five hours wasn't surprising. After all, he came by air. But Lance Steinberg's arrival in a whirlwind of dust and screeching tires - just two hours after Bill's was extremely surprising...after all, he had departed from Jersey... "I'd have been here sooner, but I ran into these chicks near Atlanta..." Clutch is fully on board with the rescue mission, but may or may not be on board for an extended stay. [strike]Manny's[/strike] Lance's Mean Machines await his return, as his employees remain bewildered by the phone left off the hook on Lance's messy metal desk top, the unfinished repairs in the garage, and the pack of smokes left uncharacteristically unopened at his work station. "Good thing you're some kind of 'special agent' now Craig. I got some tickets you need to make go away." RnR: "Well Clutch, about that...this isn't exactly a sanctioned operation. The U.S. is out on this one. And I pretty much got the Special Agent tag at EXCAL by agreeing to turn over the entire operation to the "professionals". Some of the guys there know that ain't happening. But this all has to be kept hush-hush for now." Wild Bill: "So who else we got on board so far partner?" RnR: "So far? Well so far, this is it..." Clutch: "Wait, so I have to pay for the tickets myself??" I was also trying out something new with the figure here. The torso is a WO Logan figure, and while I've done many belt line fusions before, I wanted this specific waist piece, which would not in and of itself have resulted in Joe-ticulation. Also, I wanted to use the WO Logan legs, but I hate the hip joints on the WO figs. So this guy has: TGC Head TR1ER sling on rifle Clutch vest Wild Bill arms ROC Firefly hands Build N Brawl waist Build N Brawl hips joints - - fused to the tops of the WO Logan thighs That particular fusion worked surprisingly well. The reason I did it is because I like the BnB leg articulation - very similar to Joes, maybe even better - but a direct fusion with an entire BnB lower half made clutch way too short. So my combining parts I got him to the size I wanted, while switching to the articulation I wanted as well. The only part that wasn't easy was that the fusion point on the thighs was sized a little differently from one piece to the other. But I "sculpted" over the gap with Mod Podge (heavy white glue), and once it dried and was painted, the transition was fairly smooth - though it now looks like Clutch's pants are extremely uncomfortable/tight. lol Anyway, I was kind of happy to end up with this figure which is ultimately very Joe-like while using a very limited number of actual Joe parts. |

Very nice. I wish Hasbro would make a stubble Clutch. Which Trigate head is that?
