All; 50th Blowtorch


Like most of us, when the ''Heated Battle'' 2-pack was shown for the first time, I decided I wanted to build up a small squad of HEAT Viper. Unfortunately, Rather than packing him with a useful character like ZAP or Sci-Fi or even Barbecue, big H went and gave us Blowtorch... again. Surely then it would have been a good opportunity to produce him in concept colors right? Wrong, we get the same red and yellow color scheme... again.

Ok, enough whining, back to the situation at hand. What to do with all the spare Blowtorches. Well, instead of packing them into a box and burying them in the backyard, I decided to give them a little paint and repurpose them..

A while back, an early design sketch showing Blowtorch in tan and green surfaced in the interwebs. Dated 1983 (I believe), the image shows off one of the possible colors schemes that could have been. Several people have already done this custom, but since I wanted one for my collection, I did the same.

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