Tunnel Rat, Shockwave and Storm Shadow have always been my three favorite Joes. I was slightly disappointed with the newer versions of TR due to height and accessories. I've been toying around with several combinations for a while now. I eventually settled on the Alpine torso modified with Sculpey for the scarf.

I wanted to update my favorite figure and yet keep many of the same features of the original that appealed to me as a child. I did however give him a boot-tuck look instead of the long-pant look because I could never see anyone who crawls through tunnels, sewers wearing long-pants. I feel this is my best custom to date.
