Rock and Roll v2

[ska_lives]

So I was commissioned to make 4 customs for Capt. Grid-Iron over at Serpentor's Lair just before the new year. Of those Ive shown two so far, Incenerators and El Jefe. So here is number 3 of 4, a requested rendition of v2 Rock and Roll.
I wanted to keep it as close to the original source material as possible, yet still update and tweak a few items. The harness is completely scratch built, and outside of the color and lack of grenades, is pretty spot on IMO. The side rifle was tricky. I was hoping to find an extra one in my travels, yet never did so I opted to use something from the more modern figures. I then modified a holster to hold it. The originals molded on knife is now a usable machete as well.
I had a lot of fun making this figure and I hope that you guys enjoy it as well!

Recipe:
head: POC Clutch w/ Cast v2 RnR cap
Torso/ arms: Ret. Kwinn
Hands: Ret. Ult. Flint
Upper legs: DG Shipwreck
Lower legs: 50th Lowlight

Accessories:
Harness: Straps from Ult. Flint parachute and pouches from 50th Lowlight vest
Holster: DG Cobra Commander
Knife and sheathe: Ret. Alley Viper
BP and gats: v2 Rock and Roll
Ammo belts: POC SB delta and ROC Heavy Duty
Shotgun: Modern figure fodder shotty
belt: Ret. Ult. Snake Eyes

Thanks dude!

I dig it. V2 was always my favorite of that figure.

Not sure how practical a full sized shotty in a leg holster is though.

Well, it does go along with that motif of the lever action the original had lol!
I dug through all of my guns to see if I had something close...this was, sadly, the best fit.

Good job, he looks great.

He looks pretty dang good bro. That hat is really cool. Great job on all the paint apps. Cap will be happy I am sure.

When do we see number 4? Any hints for who it is?

Thanks dude! I'd say the only hint I could give that might not totally give it away would be "attachments".

Maybe the Marauder Winchester 1887?
Model 1887 Lever-Action Shotgun BLACK Version (1) - 1:18 Scale Weapon for 3-3/4 Inch Action Figures
It's smaller and would probably fit in the holster better.

An excellent suggestion! Thanks!
