Found the Fortnite boat and Glider at OLLIES.
$14.00 and $5.00 can’t beat that especially if you don’t mind a little bit of painting.

Code Name: MAINFRAME

COMPUTER SPECIALIST

File Name: Parker, Blaine L.

SN: RA 818-50-1673

Primary Military Specialty: Computer Technology

Secondary Military Specialty: Infantry

Birthplace: Phoenix, Arizona

Grade: E-5

Mainframe enlisted in the Army Airborne at the age of seventeen and made it over to South-East Asia for the last year of hostilities, just in time to get his Combat Infantryman’s Badge. He left the Army to get his degree from MIT on the G.I. Bill and did a stint toiling in the antiseptic corridors of Silicon Valley making big bucks and fighting off boredom with a stick. Luckily, the Marines were looking for a few good men with just his qualifications. The proper papers were signed, and Mainframe was back in uniform.

“Too much of the modern battlefield is computer coordinated not to have a computer specialist right out there in the field with you. Problem is, most hackers don’t exactly fit the combat profile. Mainframe is the exception. He was ten years older than the next oldest trainee at Parris Island and he still finished at the top of the class. He’s got brains---but he’s hard.”

I still haven't figured out where the oxygen mask hose is supposed to plug in, and I'm not sure where the business end of the IV bag is supposed to go (wherever it can?), and yeah, we can have a laugh about a combat medic wearing a bright red suit on the battlefield against foes who don't care about The Geneva Convention, but I can't help but really like this toy!

Got the roof rack and lights from Amazon, and the rest of the accessories from AliExpress. Also used a Gridiron studios rear roll cage that was very warped when it came, but easily straightened with some heat.

Making the tire chains was about the most tedious thing I've ever had to do..... Then do it 3 more times! 🥵😋

Super happy with how it turned out, especially after finding the perfect decals from a little 70s rescue car on eBay.

Today really was the Fourth of July in Virginia USA. Last night I randomly checked Walmart's site and saw that Duke was available at a local superstore. They delivered him today! Could not believe my luck. Yo Joe!!! 🎇🎆🇺🇸

He's so pretty.
