Always add blood!

Lol good point. I may do the shoes no matter what because I have another custom pair incase I want to switch it back to normal clean. As for the rest, I might just pick up an extra BBK Jacket and Hammer.

I'd try the tony stark "the mechanic" glasses...

Can some one point me in the direction of a new body for this please.

A modified narrow body would probably be nice. I didn't want to wait for a new body so I just went to town modifying the original. The original has really broad shoulders which look terrible so I dremelled them down and also shaved down the bicep area to allow closer placement to the body. Arms are too long as well, so I just cut off the right arm, dremelled off a ton of extra material and reglued it on when the arm was at a proper length. Lastly, they made the waist like flush with the body so I removed a lot of material around the belt area to allow a better, more natural fit for the jeans I used (the jeans have been the only clothing part I've switched out from the BBK kit so far).

Are the arms to long or jackets to short?

Arms too long.

@ Lord Joffre
What do you think of the HS?

It is ok, slightly better than I expected but I would never use it. The hair on the back and sides is disgusting. The fade of colors is not blended at all. Plus it is a necked sculpt... which makes 0 sense considering the Driver wears a henley shirt therefore exposing the whole neck joint.

I planned to do some of those mods too Lord Joffree!
Did you take a pic of the body after the mods? Could you share one please?

Awesome man! Yeah they're really simple to do and make a huge difference. As for the body pictures.. sadly no, I should've though. Next time when I work on him I will for sure snap a quick pic of the body. I know eventually I will at least add blood on the shoes if not the jacket as well.

Oh, no problem; I'll have to wait about a year until I get mine in Ecuador...:/
so hopefully you can share some by then hehe
But the pics with the mask look incredible, i couldn't believe it was the original body...!

XD Yeah they should be up by then, and thanks! Xenoviper's mask is truly a beauty. Thanks about the body too, I went to town on it just to save some bucks from buying a new one [emoji106]

Can anyone who has it just confirm...are the jacket pockets useable or fake,thanks.

The pockets are functional but are shallow & cannot house the figure's entire hand - To achieve the pose like in photo shared by zxTASKMASTERxz, you need to remove the hands.

I had an Hot Toys Billy Sole body that worked perfectly for this figure - I had to mod, cutting the head off at the neck & slicing away some layers of plastic from inside the head to insert a proper connection plug. I bought some DAM aviators & a DiD leather watch to finish off the look.

In your photo the neck seems a bit long.

 

[C-Brock]

Haha, it's an effect of the pose, coupled with the flared Henley shirt exposing more flesh. I have the sculpt slightly lifted from the (very-stiff) seamless neck & turned looking upward. Unless I have a diorama scene, I do this with all my figures on lower shelves so that they look at whomever is admiring them
