Ripcord and Blowtorch were my favourite vintage figures. I finally got a Blowtorch that I really like (except I still have to fix his legs).
Now, I finally have a nice Ripcord to put together with Blowtorch. I didn't like the AoCI head that was used. When I saw the POC Joe Mech driver's head, I thought it would be perfect for Ripcord. I had made another one before using Rook's head, but the head was too big to fit the helmet and mask so this one's perfect. I wanted the hose to connect to something so I drilled the end of Ripcord's hose and plugged it to the end of ROC Eels' oxygen tank hose and then modified the parachute pack and the tank to fit each other. It wasn't till after taking the pictures that I realized the tank was not black! haha. Oh well. I'd rather not paint and I'm happy with it. Not everything has to be black. I gave him Tomax's wrist piece so it looks like he has an altimeter.

Did you fix Blowtorch's Hands? What was wrong with his legs you wanted to fix?

Blowtorch's legs are different length, so I managed to get another set of Blowtorch legs. Just haven't had time to fix it yet. I forgot about his hands actually. What I wanted was a Blowtorch that looked more like the cartoon with a black oxygen mask and backpack.

But I was hoping someone had found a way to fix the hands like another set of gloves from another figure or something. Once done with that I wanted to paint one like the concept blowtorch. |

Me too. I saw somewhere on here there was a modified Ripcord from AOCI that had a really good mod on his helmet and mask, I was going to copy that on my Ripcord. And then dupe it on my Blowtorch for the black mask.
