Let me know what you think of this build. I'm trying to find a better head--so suggestions would be appreciated--but this will do for now.

Looks good man - I especially like use of the Ret Kwinn belt.

SB did a nice one a while back: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...iverse-77.html

We're all using the same parts catalog to build the same characters, so there's bound to be overlap.

As far as head suggestions, mine started put as the Marauder build (https://www.marauderinc.com/ProductD...de=MTF-Gear-64) and changed over time.

I think the Dime Novel Legends Calvary officer head is great:



I got mine from Vitruvian Armory but it's currently sold out.

If you’re interested, the whole figure is available on their site: https://chickenfriedtoys.com/product/cavalry-officer/

Looks good. Like the integrated non MTF bits. Not sure about what head to switch to, other than, you know, 25th Recondo

Thanks! All those Recondos look great! Yeah, that head looks pretty good. I keep forgetting about the Dime Novel Legends (and Vitruvian Armory...shit, looks like their site is down). I usually just stumble on the right noggin for figures without really thinking about it, but this one eludes me. I was thinking about using the Woody Harrelson head from that Star Wars Solo figure, but it's too small.

Thanks! I never liked that 25th Recondo head for some reason...I think it's the eyes. I kinda dig dicking about with the accessories for some reason. I had to modify that belt (shortened it by cutting out the holster and relocating it, IIRC), and the backpack is glued to the straps. Also, that Lando chest holster is the best of its kind out there, imo. It's made of softer, stretchier plastic that molds itself better to figures. It normally fits better than in that photo, but I screwed it up and forgot to fix it before taking the pic.

I got one of these years ago for a Recondo custom and never did get around to it. I'm pretty sure it's the same sculpt that was shown at a convention with other unproduced stuff.

That head sculpt looks bigger and better than the Dime Novel bar tender. I think I'm gonna have to get that Calvary Officer now.
