Hey All!

BK here, first time posting to this forum! What I got here is something I've been wanting to do now for a while & finally started on yesterday, turning Marvel SHS WOLVERINE into a great brown suit 80's John Byrne version! I need a good Wolvie to round out my 3 3/4" 80's X-men!

So, the figure itself isn't bad but it is WAY too tall to be Wolverine since he only stands at 5'3". I cut sections from the thighs & forearms and so far it's dropped the height to nearly where it should be. His hands are a bit too big as well so those are getting replaced by a nice set of multiple pose hands that I'm gonna mold & cast. Ea. set of hands will have a small open pocket on the back of the palm for a set of magnetically attachable "Popped & Retracted" claws, which are already made of metal. There will be three versions of his head, one normal, one beserker-angry & one unmasked smokin a stogie!

The arms are a bit too long & I may have to adjust the Biceps if the new hands don't solve the problem. The chest just below the pecs is gonna get shortened height-wise & the "eight-pack" he currently has is gonna get made into a six pack. In case anyone was wondering, the blue stuff around his thighs & forearms is blue-tack which is there just temporarily to hold him all together!

Still a lotta work to go gang, wish me luck!

First, the unmodded figure next to MU Wolvie

A digibash to show how much needs to be 86'd

First mods compared to MU Wolvie

A shot to show the new correct size with some of the gang!

You want some o' this?

GRRRRRrrrRRrrr!!

Come an' get some BUB!

How do I know your'e the REAL Wolverine??

As always, comments & crits very welcome & wanted!

Cheers & thanks for looking guys!
