25th Anniversary Fast Draw (GI Joe)

[Midgarn]

Whee! Here's the Joes' Mobile Missile Specialist, Fast Draw, done up in 25th style. I might go a bit more invasive on the backpack later on, to install a side-mount, caseless rocket rig like his RAH version has, but the smaller mortar rockets are growing on me.

 

Without his gear, he's got a Grunt vibe going on. I decided not to color the Leatherneck hair as the fit of the helmet's a little tight.

 

 

All the gear is removable, and for right now at least, the hose is not glued into the pack to allow for poseability. The heavier conduit hose I figure allows for both pods to be controlled by the same joystick.

 

 

And lastly, a comparison of 25th to v1.
