Here are a few random LBCs I did. More out of a desire to fix things than to show off anything new.

First up is Sandstorm. I really like this figure when he first came out, but I was very disappointed how short he was (in both the neck and legs) compared to the other RoC and PoC figures. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against short people, but the inherent scale was so off-putting I decided I had to do something about it. So I took off his lower legs and swapped them with the lower legs of the TRU exclusive Desert Dialtone. Her legs were pretty long to begin with, but the camo pattern worked. And despite being slim, it could be reasonably argued that as a RAM motorcycle driver, he’d have his pants tucked tight into higher cycling boots. I then replaced Dialtone’s feet with those from Desert Footloose so the color matched, and so Sandstorm would have masculine footwear. I also added on a ankle knife to further detail his lower legs. Finally I added on the neck scarf from Renegades Tunnel Rat to give the illusion he has a neck, but he’s just wearing a handkerchief over it to keep sand from coming in the bottom of his helmet.

Overall, I think I was successful. With the Dialtone lower legs, he stands much taller than his original figure, and he’s about the same height as most of the PoC figures.

Next up is a 25th Steeler. Nothing really special, but I wanted a green "classic" version without the slashed wrists---and one in which looked more like the ARAH figure. So I used a Short Fuse body (thanks for the suggestion Todd!), the 25th Steeler head (I also trimmed down his long sideburns), and added on the appropriate holster rig and the JoeCon Steeler helmet and optics.

And finally, if you have some Steel Brigade Deltas and some Zombie-Vipers, you can make some weathered and zombified Deltas.

That's some good parts selection on those. I really like how Sandstorm came out
