I figure it'll be a little while before we see Recondo in the 25th line, but I've always had a soft spot for this guy and -- since my Steeler custom's on hold until Wild Bill comes out -- I had a shoulder holster I was aching to use for someone.

That is real nice. Looks just like a 25th Recondo should look.

MOTHER F#$%+* :rant: !!!! -- You post this just as I'm posting my WIP: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=6216&p=69882#p69882


Well, at least I'm not copying from you directly :P


Really great job, Spinny - I'm kinda glad I'm going a different direction with mine - it'd be a waste of time to compete with yours. :D Damn, that is one fine Recondo - I'm gonna have to actually put some effort into mine now.

Glad you guys dug this one.

Even though he's fully painted, I consider this kind of an LBC in that it's really just a Duke repaint with Stinger Driver thighs.

It's even getting to the point where jury rigging these shoulder holster rigs is a pretty quick and easy proposition.

I like the way yours is shaping up, Chief.

Well besides thinking this is a perfect Recondo, I think you should tell me what shoulder holster that is so I can use it on my Zandar ;)

I really dig him, but I get a Zap vibe from him with his hat off. maybe it is the jet black hair?

Glad you guys dig this.

I might have to revisit the head. Don't think this one would take paint and still fit the hat.

Oh, and TC, the holster rig is part GVC Dusty web gear and part Endor Rebel Trooper belt. I've got making them down to a science now.

Very nice...quintessential Recondo! And I like the black hair...but then my verse is based on Sunbow, where he had black hair. ;)
