I wasn't going to go in on this one until I learned that the sarge and I shared a birthday. I felt a little close to the guy, so I wanted him to have something to remind him of the Great days of Joe.

The biggest problem with "standard buck" is that it didn't give the big men like Roadblock and Sgt. Slaughter the intimidating size of the character. So I set about to fix that. Using the longest leg combination that I could manage (that was free of weapons) and putting in the biggest arms that the torso would hold (with only minor modification), I think that this is the Sgt. Slaughter that we saw battling Nemisis Enforcer in the movie.

I am unhappy with a few things. I had to paint it rather than dye it because of timing issues. I would have loved to dye the upper arms on the torso, but again ran out of time. Overall though, I am really happy with him. He towers over the rest of the joes, a full head taller than your basic blueshirt.

So, thanks for the memories Sarge, and remember that we remember you!
