Absolutely. Gotta reuse that exact same suit body as many times as humanly possible!

Yeah. I mean, I guess there really were just that many guys in suits, but in figure form it's pretty boring.

A fantastic custom job! Do you mind if I ask how you deal with the problem of paint-rub on the joints? Its an issue that I continue to struggle with as an amateur customiser.

There are some great tutorials on it out there. Basically it's just proper prep. You have to sand the joint discs. I use my dremel to shave away a layer on the discs to keep them from rubbing inside the joint. Then I have 5 different kinds of sandpaper, from coarse to extremely fine and I sand them down to smooth them back out. And using a fine sandpaper around the entire joint area is a good idea as well, to remove any lingering factory oils. Also washing the figure with dish soap and a toothbrush really helps.
