Weapon X joins the hunt and picks up the scent

Just goofing off ...
Thought it would be neat to have Wolverine go back into action and lend a hand to the CIA, SAS, SBS and all the S.F. guys, to hunt that F@*ker down.

Even though it needs a re-paint ,the head sculpt is from the Toybiz Wolverine figure is unfortunately the only part (besides the uniform)
worth keeping. Much to my surprise and delight , the head fit perfectly onto the new BBI bodies. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick! It was on and poppi'n.

He's supposed to be really short. This figure is about 1/2" shorter than the rest. Then , I went to town on his legs with the dremmel and the saw bit . A little off the thigh , a little off the calf ,some sanding , "Pro-weld" solvent and electrical tape and he was good to go .

Now for the gear ...
The claws they gave him were the worst . Broke open the hands ,sanded the claws down individually (like sharpening a knife) , sprayed them with semi flat black and then dry brushed them with Citidel Models "Mithril Silver ". Nomex glove seemed more appropriate for the company he would be keeping . Cut some slots from between the fingers with the exacto knife , a little dab of zap a cap and insert claws.
Anyone who reads X-Men , knows that Wolverine spent a lot of time in Japan and has great love for it's people and it's culture ... Armory Japanese Defense Force bdu's . Perfect ! Some sturdy BBI Danner boots , Beretta sidearm (just in case he can't reach'em ) , grab a shirt form one of the locals and borrow Dick Marchinko's backpack... he's ready to rock.
