Back in college I customized a Mattel Muppets Scooter into a GI Joe, sculpted Crayon, Playdoh boonie hat. I thought it was quite clever and it spring boarded me into customizing as a hobby. Over the weekend, I started sorting through my figures and had to throw out that custom because mold had started growing in it. Not on it, in it. I felt really bad...for about two hours. That’s when the Diamond Select Muppets I forgot I preordered showed up at my door. Serendipity. Next thing I know, I’m slapping some gear on him to make him into a Steel Brigade LBC. Other than the hands not being able grip the gun, it is a surprisingly pretty fun custom.

Nicely done!

Is the armor floating, or did you have to glue it in place? For some reason, I wonder about things like this.
