This one came about two different ways. The first was seeing a part that would work well for a custom, then building the custom around that. I've had decent luck seeing a part and building a whole custom around that one part (Hardball, Psyche Out, BullHorn, Duke.. the list goes on). In this case, it was a combination of seeing the Rock's camo head, and Retaliation Snake Eyes web gear. That would make a good Hit N Run custom I thought.
The second way came about after seeing the concept case. There was a Hit N Run in there. I thought it was pretty sweet. Perhaps there was a chance it would be released. Then, I took the polls over at [url]generalsjoes.com[/url].
After going through them, and voting, and scrutinizing.. that Hit N Run wasn't all that. He was pretty generic. Boring even. He had a pretty cool new helmet. The rest of his webgear was pretty lame. I want my Hit N Run to have pouches and crap to hold all the crazy tools he was going to use to blow "LASER BLAST" up.
I modified the Zartan bag to run a hook and grapple system, I included a pic of it. You can wrap the string back up, and store it in the bag via a notch I made. I also glued the retaliation trooper knives to the bag, they are still removable.
The Helmet is a very very close match the to trooper colors.
A little black paint, and I am pretty satisfied with how Hit N Run came out.
as always, thanks for looking. This should be my last one for this month. Have another batch ready to finish for next month.
