50th Blowtorch
Posted: 05 Sep 2015 18:08
Blowtorch is probably my all time favourite Joe. I've had all the vintage variations and International ones of him. When Hasbro finally announced the release of the green one, I was really happy. I also love how the modern version of his flamethrower has a handle on the front too. Wish the vintage one had that too. Unfortunately, the bulkiness of the uniform and the angle of the hands do not allow him to make use of both handles on the flamethrower.
When I got this Blowtorch, I knew I had to make him my ultimate one so I set out to do something really ambitious and I'm still surprised that I pulled it off.
List of mods:
Modified neck joint so he can look up more
Added working holster on right thigh (to copy the vintage version that had a holster there)
Modified stock of flamethrower so it retracts and extends
Modified his hands with Renegade Snake Eyes' hands
Details of how he can hold the flamethrower now
Holster detail
