holy  that is freaking awesome, can definately tell the Zack influence as that's what got my attention when i first previews.  the use parts is fantastic.  I recognize some parts but i'd love to know how many different figures u hade to take from to get him.

LE,

You are already an accomplished customiser so I have cast a very critical eye over this custom and quite honestly I am very, very impressed. Though your previous work has been truly excellent (you know I am a fan of your work), this custom piece is a step up from anything I've seen you create before.

The dusty weathering makes the figure look spot on realistic, and the selection of parts has created a really dark and menacing figure. It's a cross between a Wolfenstein figure and a Sadarkar soldier from the Dune movie.

I'm glad to have played some part in the process!

Spry this lastedt figure and base are totally awesome.  The figure and parts you used work amazingly with each other to create a brillant looking figure.

The base is another awesome looking piece the way you have done the rubble and the wall is what you would see in around a destoyed building. I also like the colour tones you have done also subtle but with enough wethering to make teh whole thing stand out.

My friends thanks so much for the kind words. Stefan that is such a big compliment coming from such a great artist, I am honored. Jay, I agreeand there are several other verses that one could see an influence from. Thanks spooky! Just what I was going for. Glad you like it Brian and yea, I put a lot of thought into this guy. I have a few other things like this as wip's so don't worry Tom more will come but I also starting a vehicle that is pretty involved. Yea that FAV custom of yours would be perfect and feel free to post it here or in your thread either way. I for one would love to see it again and it will spark some new interest in that great figure. JM glad you like it and that all the influences have shown thru. Shawn, haha I love it when that happens! Impurge, I am on the run at the moment so I will get back to you on the parts list, it is not as long as the accessaries list and time put into the little details. Jules, you are too kind my friend. If only everyone knew I send you custom figures with $20 bills around them instead of bubble wrap so you will leave me comments like this...oops. Ron, I am honored to get your seal of aproval as I am simply making an attempt to immitate what you do. I don't quite have the eye to masterfully cut a cross section out of any environment as you do but I hope the more I try the closer I can get. I do end up with more loose litter that I dump off after everything sets for about 30 hours. I coat it in multiple layers of wood glue. Do you mix plaster and glue to go over the kitty litter? Also when I coated the wall with glue i sifted sand on it and the puddles of glue I made up front. I have not painted anything yet.

that is breathtaking awesome job le

[Luke Sprywalker]

Thanks man! I just noticed I never started a second thread when I went over 50 pages...guess I am in trouble.

I can just take a glimpse of the figure and know he wouldn't be someone I would want to tanngle with!   The mask if fantastic!  Total badass Luke!!! - great work on all you do!

[DocOutlands]

Knock me over with a feather!!  Definitely works as a SW:A baddie and yes, that Fallout fig would find a brother in this one, for sure.  And yeah - the accessories list is unbelievable.  I can see a W40K space marine jetpack, a sniper rifle from ROC General Hawk, gasmask from (pick one) Pit Commando/Beachhead?/Cobra Shock Trooper, (whic was then glued to a Gal.Marine helmet?), sledgehammer from a Neo-Viper, backpack from a Sandtrooper, hoses from (I think?) a 25th Paraviper...  and on and on and on...

Art was looking for customs to manipulate that are sci-fi but not obviously SW, right?  I'd say this one fits the criteria!

Awesome custom man 

[lucasclones_strikes_back]

That is totally Freakin Awesome Dood 

[Luke Sprywalker]

Dayton, I take that as a great compliment as you are one of my favorite artist. I study your work all the time and hope one day to have the patients to do more sculpting.

Michael thanks, glad you like the look of what will be a series of figures. You have a great eye my friend and have nailed most everything you listed. Only thing that is hard to see is the 40K backpack is mounted on a CW backpack that came with many figures. I did some sculpting where the packs attach.

The upper torso and lower legs are from Resolute Duke.
Lower torso, skirt and upper legs are POC Storm Shadow.
The upper arms are from POC Viper.
Lower arms were from my Joe fodder bin.
Packs are from 40K and Joe. Knife sheath is from a Stormtrooper belt.

I think that combined with Doc's list is everything.

Clone 10 and LCSB thanks so much guys!

absolutly right!!

[halnarthax87]

Super badass. Looks very steampunk Star Wars. The one red eye is always a nice touch on sci-fi villains. ie "What are you doing Dave?" 

[Luke Sprywalker]

Thanks for the comments guys and Art I do remember you asking about subjects that were not totally SW so feel free to give my designs your touch if you want to. These guys will become part of a much bigger project. That being said I have some new photos for you to ponder while I am out of town tomorrow. I sure hope to be home in time for CAFN so I can pester a few people. haha So I am going with the same style for now and hope these guys kind of fit together. Going for my own look with previously listed influences duely noted.

























I am thinking about adding something around the neck of the guy with the CC head. Also thinking about adding a helmet to the Crock Master head but dont want the typical army helmet look. Still refining the design on both of these two. If anyone has ideas to offer feel free to throw them out.
