Vigilante
Posted on June 30, 2013
Difficulty: 
I know the fellas at Mattel have to cut some corners to offer as many characters as they can, and I applaud them for that. I suppose cutting Vigilante’s arsenal of six-guns in half was a result of that. Unfortunately, it seems no one told the Mattel folks what a holster tie down was, or where it would be located on one’s leg in relation to the holster.
First thing I did was steal a holster from a second Vig. It pops out pretty easily. There’s a small nub that fits into a hole that I drilled on his belt. Then I sanded down both sculpted tie downs on his legs, and glued on new ones cut from vinyl. A little paint and he’s no longer an embarrassment to the cowboy community.
Created Winter 2007
Basic: Some modified parts. Mostly a new paint job.
Moderate: New and modified parts.
Skilled: Lots of new and modified parts. “Frankensteining” often involved.
Advanced: All of the above, plus a great deal of original sculpting.
