Changed Flint some more. The more I stared at him the more the sleaves bugged me. Yeah I know retentive but I get picky with the figures plus I just think this looks more like Flint now.
I used a single pack Stormshadows arms and gradually sanded away the wrist band. Then I added some epoxy to the hands to make gloves and followed the originals style of having a watch on his left arm.
I tried variations of colors on the gloves including green and a darker brown but none really worked for me. In the end I decided to go with tan and I like the look.

Changes I had made previously include changing his head, which I hollowed out a bit more so it sat further down on his neck and also cutting the belt so that it hangs down as a real belt would towards his holster instead of floating around his waist attached to nothing.









Hope you enjoy
Dave

Nice job on the mods. The sleeves do hearken back more to the original your way.

One of the few things that catches my eye in a bad way on the 25th articulation is how the boots look really weird if you twist the ankle more than a bit (the laces don't line up). I guess they could move the swivel up to the top of the boot, and still have the ankle hinge, but I think that would be less poseable.

Great work. I don't really mind the look of 25A Flint out of the package, but these mods really harken him back to his original figure. Nice work!

Nice job DA I really like that look for him way better.

Thanks guys I'm glad you like him. Yeah the figure didn't bother me all that much in the beginning either but the more I looked at it the more I wondered how it would look and would you look more "flint-like" if the the rolled up sleaves were there. I finally decided to go ahead and give it a try.
