My first 12" sideshow custom!

[PimpDaddySatan]

Almost finished, my first attempt at a 1/6 scale sideshow quality custom/bash. Still have a couple parts on order...Hopefully can get more pics of finished figure by the end of the week. But I'm pretty happy with what I got so far!

Mercer?

[PimpDaddySatan]

Yeah, he seemed like an easy choice, with enough parts available from raiding a Viper Doll, and making some changes, I have 2 head choices the first classic version one head clean shaven and flat top, and version 2 with scuffy hair and a full beard. Thing is version one head hasn't arrived yet, so I can only post with version 2 head for the moment, and I haven't gotten his knee pads, I don't even think he needs them, but I was curious to see what it would look like with knee pads. Otherwise hes finished.

I hate taking pictures, I never feel like I get the best pics, or best back ground, but heres what I have so far, version 2 head. Still waiting on version 1 head to arrive, and no knee pads yet, but as stated previously he may not even need knee pads, i was just curious how they'd look.

If you don't mind, I think the vest is a little big. Here is a vest by DAM

Well I was trying to go with a vest that had a collar on it, and was more of a full zip up, to match the original action figure, I also shopped for a red one, but no luck there, and I'm sure in the hell am not trying to sew one of these things on my own, i'd never get all the little details if i tried that. Thought about painting a vest red, then figured why bother, its a more realistic 12" doll, it doesn't have to be exact like the cartoon. So no red vest, thats why I went with the red under shirt. This is a 1/6 tactical swat vest, but it does feels a little big, but once its strapped down, and pulled tight it fits better, and the pouches come off, to make it look less bulky. I really like that it matches more with the figure, minus being red. And its already growing on me. But your concern was one I had, especially at first.

Very cool man. Still haven't bought a Sideshow figure cause once I do I know I'm screwed, I won't stop and I'll wanna do this kinda stuff. Great work man.
