I think I may have posted this custom when I 1st registered w/ HT... Well, I figured I'd throw it up again...
Had been wantin' 2 do a str8 up Joe custom ever since I had seen ratfink's Plague team @ his house & I kept seein' mswi's profile avatar & really liked that image of Zartan. So drawin' my inspiration from those 2 sources I set my sights on the coolest Cobra villain of all time (IMHO)... ZARTAN! RECIPE: BASE = Marvel Legends Wolverine HEAD = Star Wars Unleashed Aurra Sing (statuette) LOWER ARMS = Unknown Batman fig LOWER LEGS = Unknown Batman fig GEAR = Vest, gunbelt & holsters from Star Wars Aurra Sing - S&W .44 Mag revolvers from McFarlane Spawn Sam & Twitch 2-pack (shoulder holstered 1 cut down) - Knife is scratchbuilt from fodder w/ sheath from Sculpey - Hood & thigh armor sculpted from Aves w/ fabric tape for padding (to match the "armor mesh" on the gauntlets & boots) & real leather straps - Backpack is from Bravo Team 3.75" fig - Climbing rope is braided nylon string w/ fishing treble hook for grappling hook & jewelery clasp - Shoulder armor from unknown Batman fig - Upper belt from unknown Batman fig - Sniper rifle from fodder w/ barrel/silencer added from Star Wars cantina band member "clarinet" & strap from fodder - Briefcase from 3.75" ROC Dr. Lewis Dremeled out & fabric tape & foam inserted w/ mask carved away from WWE Undertaker fig w/ mini-mirror placed in the top 1/2 - Chest armor from Animated Black Costumed Spider-Man fig - Electrobinoculars from 3.75" Luke Skywalker (Tatooine farmboy) I hope U enjoy my 6" version of Zartan...

Hey thnx HH - if I hadn't listed my recipe - I don't think anyone wouldv'e ever guessed that was originally a female head... it made sense to me @ the time that a master of disguise would have a slightly androgynous look to the facial structure - I had posted WiP pics on another sight & got mixed reviews - but when the finished product was revealed folks really thought I has pulled one outta my a$$ - lol
