Well, it took a while to get around to it, but I finally finished my Deathstroke modifications. Here you go:
Before & After:

Here's a breakdown of the process for anyone who's interested:
Major Surgery:First I boiled and popped his legs off, then I boiled his waist and carefully peeled his belt off (it comes off in three sections). I shaved down the tops and inside top corner of his thighs, then I expanded the peg holes at the top, so they could fit over the shaft of the pegs. Next I boiled his torso again and got it really soft, and then cut him in half with a large kitchen knife. I cut the head off a pretty big screw, drilled a hole in the top of his hips, and inserted the cut end in as far as it would go. Then I drilled a smaller pilot hole in the bottom of his torso, and carefully screwed the torso on. I replaced the front part of the belt, heated up the legs, and then replaced those too.
Minor Surgery:I cut off the canisters hanging under his arms and replaced them with plain strap parts cut off the larger piece. Then I cut off individual canisters and glued them right on to the sides of his belt so it wasn't as bulky as before. I cut off the spikes on his shoulders, gauntlets and boots (I thought they were all too busy), and cut his trigger fingers free from the rest of his hand. I made dog tags from the gauntlet spikes and attached them around his neck with black thread (this was inspired by his look in Injustice).
Paint:I painted his torso silver with a light black wash (though I might repaint it black with a silver dry brush later), painted his shins and knees metallic orange (copper paint with a little yellow mixed in), painted his legs, boots and hands solid blue. I gave his pistol and knife some weathering with silver dry brush, and painted the hilt of his sword black.
