Looking for a Live vest for a Cutter I'm planning on doing. I know the Shipwreck comic pack fig is the most widely used, but was wondering if anybody has any luck with pieces from other lines (PTE, etc.). thanks.

Here's one I did many moons ago using some generic police figure

I used the vest from the RoC Footloose or the Poc Tru Spirit. Painted is orange with an official Testors military color and did a olive drab green was over it. Growing up on the water I noticed that life jackets get moldy and always have a dark green line around deep set edges. i'll post pics of mu custom when I can. P.S. I used the RoC Footloose head for the custom as well.

Again it's just a head and hand swap kit-bash, nothing too fancy here. I used the same green wash color to paint the straps on the vest too. Apologies for the glare but the figure is in my display cases and it's too late to be opening that up. Anyway I hope this inspires you one way or the other. I always liked Cutter and felt he deserved a better figure than the TRU exclusive in 2008. Plus the Hovercraft is in my top 3 favorite Joe vehicles.
