My original Rifleman was maybe a bit too big on the tabletop, so I made this slightly smaller version. Some details were lost in the process of shrinking down, but now it's more manageable as a game piece, and still recognizable.

Better get the a or b version of the jumper plate 1745 for the waist. That is, one of the old variants with a peg in the underside. This will make the connection stronger. Conversely, use the new c version for the top. If you can't get the old jumper, consider changing the dish to a round 2x2 jumper.

Articulated legs. Torso and arms are able to turn 360 degrees.

A trans clear antenna was used to attach the model to a game base.

Comments, feedback and requests welcome.

The Linebacker screams Clan Omni, yet it has some distinctive features of its own.

A 1x1 plate at 45 degrees represents the four toes in each feet, trying to properly capture the shape of the leg.

To get the right spacing between legs, flush the end of the bar with the wing of the stud with hole.

As usual, better use the new mould version of 48729 for extra grip.

At first I did a more detailed torso using weak connections, but later fixed it to be more sturdy, also reducing depth by half a plate.

The model has multiple articulation points in legs and arms, making it highly pose-able. Torso can turn. Head is fixed by design.

The feet are easy to attach to a game base.
