This custom was screaming to be made so I did it. The ammo puches, butt bag, canteen, and breadbox were all from a Dragon figure. The other parts I am sure you will recognize. I haven't customized in over a year and finally set up my work table last weekend. I haven't stopped since but this is the first XD to come out of the new work table.

Nice!
You are correct. That's a very logical custom.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

Good work! I've made a couple very similar customs, but I like your idea of the ammo pouches!

Very nice - I did two myself sans the dragon gear - and background tree. One of my favorite figures.

Looks good. I did pretty much the same custom a while back. I used the same gloved hands you did.

The tree was courtesy of the City of Modesto.
Thanks for all the comments guys. Yes it was a no-brainer, but I had to do my own. Plus, I couldn't get used to the white mittens the original tanker had. I had to do some post swapping, but I grafted the the gray gloves on with little hassle. The head wobbles, but I can get some great poses out of it.
