Here is something I'm working on for Gyre's current contest. I still need to paint it, but given the longer time frame, I don't anticipate any issues. I did try to match the very peachy colored skin tone that the club uses on their figures. I was pretty okay with the club's original RRP offering back at the '07 Con, but as time goes on his deficiencies grow more glaring, so here you go.

As a side note, I am also experimenting with automotive touch up paint for covering larger single colored areas (in this case the boots) on these cast figures. If it works out, I'll be sure to post final result once they are cured. Also working on waterslide decals for the logo on the chest. Enjoy!

Nice 25th Piper, I love it man! I don't have the Hasbro version cause it's a ``newsculpt era`` figure and I don't collect them.. but yours, well.. I want one!

He looks amazing!

Quick question for you though. I do a lot of Iron Grenadier customs and I'd love to have a few kilted figures. Will the kilt be available separately in your store, or just as a kit?

Looks goooood. I don't suppose you'd consider a 'Hell Comes to Frogtown' variant entry?

Looks great! I think he needs the "They Live" sunglasses as a bonus accessory.
(I hope you didn't disqualify yourself though by posting it here first before posting it in the official thread.Hopefully WiPs are okay.)

No doubt - But looking at the other entries - I lost a long time ago. :D

Kneroh- I don't plan to offer the kilt except with the two wrestlers and one other upcoming figure. If I ever do have any extra (filled a mold with an oddball color or something), I'll post it in the store in the oddball and one-off section so keep checking there.

Clean- I didn't see anything in the rules about posting WIPS outside the thread, but if that did DQ me I have others that I am working on too. I will check it out though, so thanks for mentioning it.

CC- Yeah, it's been a LONG time since I got to enter any contests other than the ones at JoeCon, but every once it a while I get the chance. Looking forward to it!

Everyone else: Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know Aly! If you ever feel the inkling I'd gladly take 10.
