First Kit Bash CIA Operator (Work In Progress)

Just got into 1:6 hobby a couple of months back.
First figure was a boxed HT. It was cool but the lack of mags got me into buying
loose mags to fill up the pouches and then, I was seduced by the dark side.

The lure of finding loose stuff and customizing one was more satisfying (but hit hard on the wallet) than just buying a box.
Starting late, I had to hunt around for basic stuff even like nudes unless I don’t mind paying a hefty 50% premium.

Here’s my almost done work in progress kit bash.
And Yes! it’s my first kit bash. Kit Bash is where one ‘build’ a figure from loose parts found from various boxed set.

Story behind the Figure
Organisation: CIA
Mission: Special Reconnaissance
Operator Codename: Zombie (So named after a loose knee joint on the nude)
