10 days worth of observation and contemplation have resulted in a slight detour down a more "scenic route". . .
This weekend, I prepped Frank's replacement weapons--including the pistol. The pistol would not replace the kit-provided weapon; rather, it would be relocated to its holster. Unfortunately the kit- provided holster is a mess! So I ordered ICM's 1/24 SWAT Team Fighter no. 1 (#24101), the first in an ongoing series of law-enforcement tactical units. As a brief aside, this kit has its pro- blems with proportions, scale, etc., but the quality of the sculpting and casting is a solid A--or better! In any event, I purchased it for its 'W' sprue: weapons and accessories.
To date, I have fitted the "baseplate" of the holster to the figure. I have also reworked the one(!) cargo pocket (L), and added a R cargo pocket.

Stay tuned. . . !
