25A Scientist for the Good Guys

[Knighthawk]

This isn't an established Joe character. For the verse I'm creating, the character is an updated version of Monk Mayfair, a scientist from the Doc Savage pulp novels. But if you don't like the character, you can consider him just a random military scientist. I mean, not all scientists are evil, right?

[Captain Carstein]

Looks good.

[Cold Slither]

very cool man. Where'd you get the lab coat?

love the fig...and the quote made me laugh. Yup, I'm sure there is a good one in the bunch.

Looks great has a likeness to sparkplug from transformers

Ha! No, they are all evil...Doc was the Joes' established scientist (WTF!) and could create techology far more advanced than his MD would suggest....anyway, I love the custom. Monk Mayfair and the rest of the Fabulous Five ruled. You need Habeas Corpus to complete the figure. :)

No - but the really good ones are insane. Need to know what you used to make him. Good work - I like the lab coat and hat particularly.

[daremo]

That's pretty cool! Labcoat, hardhat, and a photo id?!!? I almost missed that. Impressive.

[MAJOR BLUDD]

That is just great! Love the assessories.

[i<3COBRALA]

keeeeeen wheres the coat from?

[Knighthawk]

Hey guys. Glad you like him. The coat is from the Sam Elliott/Scoresby figure from the Golden Compass line. Have to give credit where it is due as I stole the idea (with permission!) from Chief over at Joe Customs. He used his for a sweet Dr. Venom custom.

The head is a cast head I got in trade, that I can't verify who it is of. The hard hat was cut off of one of the CAT construction worker figs that were on clearance at Wal-Mart cheap awhile ago (just cut it off and dremeled it out - an idea I saw on here elsewhere).

BadGumbo = always nice to see when someone knows the obscure character you're going for. I actually bought a pig to be Monk's pet, Habeus Corpas, but it seems too big to be in scale. Maybe not. I'll post some later and let you be the judge.

The photo ID was super easy. I just found some sample hospital badges online, shrunk it down, folded it up to the right thickness, glued it shut and stuck it on some clear plastic that I attached to the coat itself.

Cool, looks good. Cobras probably already on their way to kidnap him.

Exactly what I was thinking. Great looking scientist.

[MTN]

Nice job, I really like that idea.

[mandingo_rex]

I always wanted civilian figures. For Joe and TF. And also, perhaps, Civilian-clothed versions of the X-Men?

Haha. Nice custom, would be awesome in dios.

[Knighthawk]

Yeah, I have a few civilian types for my verse. I'll post a few more when I get the chance. Thanks for checking this one out.
