I was originally gonna go a completely different route in making an Outback Colossus, but ever since I saw the ML one I decided to wait to use that.  And I'm glad I did, coz the ML Colossus figure is fantastic.  Easily my favorite figure made thus far.  I removed the rubber pecs and back of the torso and dremeled down the belt.  I then sculpted the new muscles with epoxy putty and the new belt was cut from a toothpaste tube. 

Without the shoulder pads the big holes on his underarms became glaringly apparent so I had to dremel the insides of the holes to make them wider and deeper until I hit the abdomen joint inside the torso.  Then I sculpted the new lats.  His arms don't go in all the way no more but that's allright cause it makes him look that much broader.   Instead of the darker wash of the original fig, I painted him similar to the ML Silver Surfer, bright silver with pearlized blue highlights.
