This figure required only minor modification.I took the basic Legends and Lore figure of a Vegas mobster and added an arm from Tamiya's tank crewman.
I wanted a civilian figure dressed in a suit and tie that I could use standing alone and leaning up against a car or whatever I finally decide.The minor differences in suit styles of the different eras is really unimportant when viewed at a distance in this diorama.The only change to the tank members arm was to remove the cuff at the wrist.
With his clenched fist and frown he looks like an impatient driver waiting to get the show on the road.
As you can see only a small modification such as this can make for a completely different figure and help to add to the telling of the story.His relaxed pose means I can put him just about anywhere in the diorama as a supporting player.
Fun eh!
Cheers! John.
