IG85 - Mortarman

Given the fact that I so enjoyed serving as a Mortarman in my beloved Corps, it was just a matter of time before I got around to making Downtown. Credit goes to HissTank member BILL, who originally had the idea of using the Resolute Duke parts for his custom Downtown figure - they just worked so perfectly! I tried to stay as true as possible to the original look of the character, but I've got to admit that the gaudy colors throw me a bit. I'm already planning a modern era update...
Parts: Head, Torso & Upper arms (Resolute Duke), Lower arms (25th Cobra Trooper), Upper legs (25th Wraith), Lower legs (25th Zartan), Revolver & Holster (25th Wild Bill), Knife & Scabbard (Marauder, Inc.), Helmet & Mortar (ARAH Downtown), Backpack (RoC Pit Commando).

Wow, that's really amazing work! I'm surprised the original helmet fit so well. I also love what you did with the mortar! That's a great custom and I'm going to have to do one myself.

I've long since been convinced that Downtown began as a new version of Short Fuse, to go alongside other original Joes who were reimagined that year, but they changed something because they figured he didn't have the same name recognition.
And nice work. |

Thanks, WXC! The mortar came from the original ARAH Downtown figure. I also have the revolver and the backpack with most of the little detachable mortar ammunition, but I chose to go with the newer pack and pistol because I liked the look better.
