Taurus/Bull mods

Postby Nighthawk » Tue Feb 14, 2012 11:38 am

So, there were 3 things I didn't like about the new Taurus:

1. Didn't like how he was always looking down (due to Recondo body)
2. Didn't like how the holster was so high so that when the gun is in it, the handle will stick into his face
3. Most importantly, hated how the kneepads prevented him from standing up straight.

Here are my fixes:

Modified his neck joint so he can look forward (still looks weird by from upfront, it's better than him looking down)

Moved the holster down lower on the webgear (realized that by just cutting the hole on the bottom of the holster to let the pistol go all the way down, it might have solved the problem...Darn! Anyone got an extra Taurus webgear they don't need?)

Modified the knees so now he can stand straight.

looks good. Here is a little tip for a quick head fix just a little ball of teflon tape in the head socket will let the head ride up higher for a better range of motion for anyone else thats wants a quick fix.
I may not be as good as I once was,but I'm as good once as I ever was!

I didn't like the blue and I managed to trade for a spare Zanzibar webgear. This time, I didn't relocate the holster. I cut a hole at the bottom so the pistol fits in lower.

I gave Mercer a backpack to make it look more like the vintage one.

Red Dog has 25th Torch legs. I still want to replace the lowers so if someone has a spare set, please let me know.
