I wanted a modern era version of Repeater that was more true to the original character design, so I whipped up this very simple custom.
Parts: Head (RoC TRU Exclusive 5-pack Zartan), Body (RoC TRU Exclusive 5-pack Footloose), Vest & Machine Gun (RoC TRU Exclusive 5-pack Repeater), Backpack / Ammo Carrier (RoC Neo Viper), FN F2000 Assault Rifle (RoC Sgt Stone), Pistol Belt & FN Five SeveN (RoC General Hawk). There was really not much to this custom. The only real modifications were to the weapons. The F2000 had a small hole drilled in the stock so that it could be mounted on his backpack / ammo carrier, for use as a back-up weapon. The Machine Gun had the original pistol grip cut off. I then trimmed the small stock down to resemble the type of hand-grip trigger mechanism found on the original figure's weapon. I also removed the secondary grip from the right-hand side of the weapon and re-installed it on the left-hand side. Finally, the ammo carrier had a rectangular slot cut in the bottom so that the ammunition appears to actually "feed" from it. All that remained then was repainting the camo pattern green instead of brown. Last edited by Sgt Humpty; 08-29-2012 at 03:14 PM.. |

The ammunition belt came with RoC Repeater from the TRU Exclusive 5-pack.
Thanks, man! |

Excellent! I certainly take plenty of inspiration from other customizers, so I'm glad I could provide some for a change! |
