I've never tried any customs or modifications, but I just wanted to see what Flint would look like with gloves - and so I thought I'd share. I'm not overly thrilled with the rolled-up sleeves, but they'll do until I have time for something that blends better. Now Flint has Shipwreck's Pop-Eye arms, but it doesn't bother me. I also haven't covered the tatoo.

Looks pretty good. If I could find another Flint and Shipwreck I might have to try this.

I used Shipwreck's upper arms as well and it looks a bit better. Just have to paint them black. I love my Flint much more now with the gloves and beefed-up biceps and forearms.

I did a similiar custom of Flint with rolled up sleeves and gloves. I cut the rolled sleeve off of the Flint forearm, shaved down the upper arm, and glued the rolled up sleeve on, then used 25th v.2 SS's forearms. I have a Flint and Shippy I have been planning on using for an updated version. I also think that a SE torso, w/SS's short sleeves would make a cool DD version of flint.

Sorry for the delay in posting pics. His face is a lot tanner than Shipwreck's arms (but this isn't as noticeable in person) and his chest should probably be a bit more bulky, otherwise I think he looks way better now than he did before.

OK, I made a better attempt at the rolled-up sleeves on Flint. They're a little too glossy, but I think it's an improvement. I also need to set his pistol down a little closer to his closed fist.

These all look much better than the original 25th Anniversary figure.... I need to fix mine now, too!
