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 AF80sFan too: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...ml#post5371178 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/ Last edited by Dod Ear; 03-27-2023 at 07:57 PM.. |

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

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.
