I've had an Atomic Man for some time dressed in a KO uniform.

While placing him in my new display case; it noticed that many of the snaps and buttons on the uniform were either loose or had ripped completely. I thought that I'd spiff him up a bit. I was originally going to resew all of the buttons and snaps; but got sick of stabbing myself multiple times. I'll probably replace most of the snaps since they're made of a very soft metal, but I think I've helped his overall appearance.

The soft metal snaps:

His trousers were falling down!

Went with short boots for that 70s look; much like a certain $6 Million Man.

Buttons and snaps a bit tighter:

Equally as important was replacing his KFGs with the new Geyperman ones. The originals were rotting away. They look like older Cotswold grippers rather than KFGs. The color difference is striking:

Ready for action!

I got this khaki belt in a lot recently; and while I believe it goes to one of the AT sets; but I think it helps Mike maximize the 70s look.
