Good Day, I present to you my Mad Max figure so far.
Overall I'm pretty pleased with myself, my first custom figure using multiple pieces. Getting all the parts out of other figures and putting them in this were a pain at first but after that it started to come together.. I must have like 5 different figures in this one so far.. I'm waiting on my Mutt Jacket still then all I really will have to do is paint and glue. I cut Snake Eyes sword into a knife and cut the case aswell, it fits almost perfectally on his ankle.. I do however have some questions..what should I do for his gun holster? and the leg brace? I have no idea what I'm going to do for that.. Note, I want to do as little sculpting as possible..Also I'm gonna need a head? Any suggestions? Feedback please Here we go. |

Looking good so far, just need a Mutt Williams jacket and I suggest Antares Draco for the head.
Rebelscum.com: Photo Archive For the holster, if you can find an Army of Darkness figure of Ash, it comes with a holster for the double barrel (short barrel) shotgun. Or you can use the Star Wars Rebel Vanguard holster. Here is a link to my custom Max for some ideas. The leg brace was made from scratch. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...r-mad-max.html

For the leg brace on mine, I used flex rex and strip styrene. It really worked out well, and didn't involve an sculpting at all.

Just finished the legs.. Here are some Pics..
Overall pretty happy with how the leg brace came out.. I lost articulation in the knee but I'm not worried about it. It will just be on display anyways. (Removable knife) Parts: Knife/Holder - Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes Sword/Case cut down to fit on leg (worked out almost perfectally) Leg Brace: Straps - Random belts from figures/Indiana Jones Man Purse. Brace - Zip Tie cut in half. (Weird that it actually worked out) Knee Cap: Thing - Sculpty The pictures look weird like its not painted or dirty but in person its all black What do you guys think so far? Next I have to take care of the Shotgun holster. |

If you want to retain the articulation, you could use the connector pieces from the Capt. Ace/ Deep Six gear and attach them to the rod that you used for the brace.
