Duke…

I’m delving into full-on modding of an action figure. It’s okay. It’s a figure I don’t really like of a character that always kinda annoyed me.

Meet First Sergeant Conrad S. Hauser, code name “Duke,” of the G.I. Joe Force. This particular model is part of the Tiger Force tactical team.

So it starts…
