The credit belongs to the Lord, I thank Him for doing these with my hands.
The Rhino vehicle came with Bruce Sato and another version of Matt Trakker. I think I liked the Rhino version of Trakker better than the Thunderhawk version as a kid, and I still do. I think it may be my favorite of this project at this point.
Matt uses parts from about 5 joe figures and 1 wolverine figure, plus accessories from 2 more joes. The Mask actually didn't come with the neck flair, so had to greenstuff that, as well as the thigh pads, belt buckle, hair, and lower torso armor. Dremmeled/sanded/greenstuffed the tunnel rat upper leg to remove the leg straps and pouch.
I want to thank all the guys who helped me out getting the parts for this project. The mask items in this post came from (best I remember) joe grizzly and jay, thanks fellas.
MATT TRAKKER
Next up, BRUCE SATO
He uses parts from 6 joe figures and 1 Indiana jones figure, green stuff for the chest armor, side and back straps, side pouch and straps, forearm padding, boot tubing on the lower legs and feet, knee pads, and belt. Dremmeled/sanded/greenstuffed the pouches on the breaker upper leg. The lower torso retains articulation (the straps and lower armor is not attached to the lower torso, the leg with the pouch also can move. The paraviper knees had 4 pads and the cartoon Bruce had 3, so I dremmeled/sanded the paraviper pads off and greenstuffed the 3 back on.
Here is a mock up of a custom card along with a vintage scott and t-bob card, NOT A FINAL PRODUCT, just a mock up.
