Use very, very small tools smile Seriously, I'd suggest using a precision screwdriver set, and maybe small peices of plywood.

I have made a GI Joe into a ghostbuster. I made his pack with balsa wood. The really thin kind ,like made for those cheap airplanes. They looked pretty good. Sold for 150 a piece on ebay.

slider, you did it 1/6th scale right? i did a pete venkman 1/18. looks pretty good. but i dont think balsa wood's gonna work for 3 3/4 inch figures well.

The ones I made where the 12 inch dolls. It would be quite impossible to make it out of the little action figures LOL. Your probably saw them on ebay when they were up.

Well i got kinda lucky with the figures. Im not too sure what the name of the figure was, but he was wearing a tan flight suit. I made a small iron on patch for the suit. And then over a long period of time, I worked on the pack. Then the mini hose. I created the ecto goggles from DIVER GI JOE underwater mask. If you need any help on the figure, Id be happy to give you some more pointers.
