When I first bougt the guysack I was glad to only have 
paid $2 for it.  And to be honest the thing is only
worth two dollars and not a dime more.  The body was
unstable, and fell apart easilly,and the color was
a godawful fecal brown.

I was in the process of repairing some of the flaws
with super glue to get the thing to hold together when
it occured to me to custom the guysack.  First thing
I did was basicly ghetto rig all of the tail weapons
together.  Creative uses of pegs did that well enough.

Next there was the matter of smoke dischargers and 
oxygen tanks.  The two are interchangeble but can't
be used together normally.  I placed the tanks
in their normal spot and rigged up an additional
mount for the smoke dischargers further back.

There's a small rod shaped part on the back of the
guysack that looks like an exhaust pipe.  I just
turned this part sideways and realized the ends
already fit into the holes on the smoke dischargers.
Not securely mind you but a bit of superglue took
care of that.

the repairs I did on it also include gluing the 
stabalizer caps in place as they tend to fall off,
gluing the arms and tail stable as well as most of
the other part sof the guysack as things have a bad
habbit of falling off.

Next came the extensive painting.  I mixed up some
millitary olive green for some parts and got to 
work on some parts while others I opted for black.
Finally I used metalic silver on the weapons, including
the pincers, mandibles, and gunbarrels as well as
the ends of the smoke dischargers.  

Some tiny details I painted include making the various
tubes and hose like structures green in otherwise
black body parts and the small circular details that look
like joints on the tail are metalic silver.

The cockpit is painted over in black in some but not
all places to give it that more armored look.
