A brilliant tactician and one hell of a soldier, Flint is a seasoned special forces veteran who commands the respect of his peers through actions and words. He can come off as cerebral and wordy during mission briefs, but when the going gets tough, Flint just gets tougher, fights harder and pushes those serving alongside him to give it their all.

Prior to joining the 'Joe team, Flint was a flight warrant officer with the Joint Special Operations Command, and frequently worked with the Night Stalkers on highly classified rescue and extraction missions in hostile territory.

CONCEPT/CONSTRUCTION NOTES
As soon as he started appearing in the Sunbow cartoon with the Revenge of Cobra, Flint became my preferred team leader. I could always relate to him more than Duke - less the grinning, goody two shoes.
This is my second attempt at a Flint custom. It's less of a Modern Warfare/Delta Force design and more of an homage to his Renegades and classic appearances with a mix of the sweater and tiger stripe camouflage BDU pants. I'm not absolutely married to the idea of him always being armed with a shotgun, so his primary weapon here is the HK416/M27 that the Retaliation figure came with, but he does have his trusty "portable claymore" as a back up.

To teach, improve, share, entertain and showcase the work of the customizing community.
