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 |

Great mods Dave. The sleeves didn't bug me enough to change them but now I think I will. |

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! |

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. |
