I'd love to make one, but I'm not much of a painter. It's too much painting for me. I don't like painting any joints. My customs that I generally do is parts swaps and transplanting sleeves. Example are my fixed arm Duke and things like R'n'R and Clutch. For RnR and Clutch, I cut off the sleeve and hollowed it out and shaved down the bicep to make it look like rolled sleeves. For Duke, I cut out the peg from the slit wrist hands and cut it so it's a peg and drilled a hole in the sleeve cuff to plug it in so he has a peg for the new forarm to go in. Oh and the Roadblock has the Spy Troops head on him.

And something Hasbro definitely should have done with the Mobat. Notice how much lower Steeler sits and the tow hook?

For anyone who's interested, here are some links to my other quick fixes for figures. There are all minor tweaks I've done to improve some of my figures and are not very hard to do.
Quick Kick: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...k-updates.html Shockwave: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...fications.html Shipwreck: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...e-sailors.html details for Mainframe: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...dataframe.html Snake Eyes backpack mod: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...eyes-mods.html Short Fuze: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...hort-fuze.html Storm Shadow: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...nake-eyes.html MOBAT details: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...obat-mods.html Breaker: I drilled out a hole in the backpack and put a pen ink holder into it and glued it into the backpack to make a peg. I acutally fixed Breaker's arms now, but I'm still hoping to get one though as I didn't do as good a job on Breaker as I did on Duke.

some really nice work on the removable helmets. probably my favorites of the stuff I've seen you do. Is the BBQ helmet actually removable though, or is that one just a head swap? I ask only cause to make the factory head into a removable helmet, it seemed to small to me.

It is actually a helmet. Only a select few heads fit. The Flash head just fits. Basically, you have to heat up the helmet so it's soft and put it into the largest head you can shove it into (do it to an older figure with the old style heads so that you can take the helmet off after without popping out the head (ie. Spytroops figure). Then cool the helmet so it hardens and leave it on for a while. Remove and then you have a larger sized helmet that can fit on Flash's head.

All real cool. This is something I want to try and haven't been brave enough to do yet.
