This custom of Monkeywrench was made so that his equipment could all be removed allowing him to blend into society. Monkeywrench was one of my favorite Dreadnoks as a child, the trident spear gun was awesome when I was a youngster, but it is pretty unrealistic. I often gave Monkeywrench a Gung Ho V1 grenade launcher and a Backstop V1 revolver. I always used Monkeywrench as a Dreadnok that worked with explosives. Once I decided to make this custom the ideas were already there and it was a very simple custom to make. I knew I wanted him to have a realistic grenade launcher, pistol, a melee weapon with a trident end, as well as removable explosives. Realistic versions of all of these items are readily available today. I decided to keep some of the original looks and colors of Monkeywrench. The vest stayed a dark maroon and the lower legs were kept so that the bandannas would be present. I really think that most of the equipment of the Dreadnoks would be worn and weathered so the paint was applied to give it that specific look.

Very nice. Sometimes we forget how relevant ARAH customs can still be. This one is truly inspiring from the weapons to the super-clean paint aps.

Really solid custom, I like how you made the trident into an melee weapon instead of a firing weapon. Great work on everything.

Nice to see you workin again. Clean paints and good parts choices.

Absolutely fantastic work. Love all the different explosives you incorporated and the custom trident is inspired.

VERY nice, Stormavik!

Excellent mods on the Stalker V2 torso, makes quite a difference now and it suits Monkeywrench very well.
The removable gear is wonderfull, adds a ton of play value!

Thanks for all the great comments everyone. It is a modified Stalker V2 chest. It is nice to see there is still a little ARAH love out there.
