Leatherneck in Sunbow attire. Originally the base uniform was from several different figures and the green matched on all of them so I wasn't going to paint the base. But the figure didn't have thigh straps which I didn't like and there was no figure with matching green that had them. So I had to bite the bullet and paint all the green on the figure. The feet, hands, and head are the only unpainted parts.

Head- 25th Mutt
Body- ROC Heavy Metal (forgot his name?)
Arms- 5-pack Joe Trooper
Upper Legs- comic pack Hawk
Lower Legs- ?
Vest- Scrap-Iron
Hat- Raginspoon cast
Gun- Marauder Inc

The Scarp Iron vest works really well and I like the mods you made to it. Great work

The Kir Kanos head I think will work for an unmasked Wet-Suit. It's on my to-do list.

So...let me get this straight...you willingly chose to use the slit wrist Duke arms?

Looks really good, the paint is flawless, and I love his cover, very accurate to the real thing.

Yeah, I hate them but they are one of the only arms that matches Leatherneck. The only other figure with 3/4 sleeves and no gloves is Mouse, but he has extra detailing on his upper arms and I didn't want to pull apart a Mouse just for the arms.

Sunbow is my canon for uniforms for the most part.

figure came out great. I agree that Hasbro needs to produce one of these.
