Quick revisitation of my last take on Leatherneck.I found that the modded MARS Trooper vest my Rock'n'Roll custom previously wore fit rather nicely on the PIT Trooper's body, and it had the grenades on a similar position, so I put that on him instead. I also finally decided to paint his hat, finding out I had a shade of green that matched the body nicely.

And Sidetrack, based on the ranger second version (why people prioritize a literal clone of Ambush right down to the bio over a brand-new character I'll never know ;-) ). Straight reuse of the same PIT Trooper body Leatherneck uses, with the hair and eyebrows repainted. Gives him a slight ressemblance to John Cena, methinks, which works given Sidetrack's background as an ex-pro wrestler. Decided to acknowledge the first Side Track via the grenade belt across his chest and a grenade launcher as a weapon.

Thanks for looking!

I like what you've done with Sidetrack. Especially the nod to his wrestler days. Solid work.

Both are nice. Maybe give Sidetrack some type of harne or vest.

I think Canadian John Cena must look different than American John Cena, I'm not seeing it, but that doesn't mean I don't like these customs. The web gear on Leatherneck looks more real world and fits the rest of the uniform well and I like that you repainted his cover to match the rest of him.
That's an interesting take on Side Track, I got the Ambush version (and was actually confused as to why I couldn't figure out which version of Ambush I got, "woo-hoo, factory reject! I'll make millions selling this on eBay!) He looks good too

both are simple yet excellent customs, that is one of those joe bodies from roc that had potential for alot different uses, but was hindered by that shirt belt thing and its reduced articulation. you might look at the grenade belt from monkey wrench too, a few more grenades.

Thanks everyone!


Didn't have a Monkeywrench grenade belt, but I did have this!

I think it does a better job of homaging the original Side Track, it's even slung over the same shoulder.
