Mr.T Custom BA Barrackus

Mr. T's prediction for Cobra...pain!

I am huge Mr. T fan, so I made my own.
I think you guys have seen my Sigma 6 version of the A-Team.

Here is my recipe:
I used Bazooka for the body with Roadblock's arms.

For the sneakers I sanded down his boots and used Magic Sculpt.

The jewelery is also Magic Sculpt.

The head is an original sculpt. I think it's one of my best sculpts so far!

For the belt and vest I used Sculpey Super Flex, this was tricky.
It's a version of Sculpey that once baked becomes flexible.
I had to make "base body" for the vest and belt to be sculpted on and baked.
I failed many times, I re-sculpted the vest at least four times.
The clay is extremely soft making it extremely hard to sculpt with, especially detail.
Plus if you under baked the clay it cracks, if you over bake it it bubbles.

See it here:

For the paint I went with a very recognizable version of Mr. T.
The pattern on the vest was the hardest part.

P.S. His vehicle is almost done, think the A-Team van meets a Hummer.

Awesome. Can we get a closer look at the head you sculpted?

Holy crap i love it...I PITY THE FOOL!

that is absolutely perfect!...the head is so spot on it's ridiculous!...good lord thats awesome!...i was think ing of making one a while ago and man, what i had in mind would have looked like a cow pie by comparison...amazing!...are you gonna e-bay that thing?...I WANT IT!!!

wow I have to say I wasn't expecting to be blown away but it's amazing...that is except for his lower legs they look really beefy.

Other than that I'd have to say it's great.

8/10 in that area

awesome work mr t rules

I would love to see some Hi res pics of it! Amazing work!

That is awesome. You did a really great job.

Thanks!!!
Here is a close up of the head.

I will not be selling it, this one's for me.

I noticed that about his legs as well, he tucked his pants in his socks.
And then he wore several socks?...Whatever, I am not arguing with Mr. T.

wow...that is spot on.

haha!! AMAZING!!!!

holy CRAP!
if we had a custom of the month this would be IT!
thats friggin... just... WOWWW!!!!!!

the legs work perfect IMO. BA was a stalky mofo back then. (compared to now doing his commercials for world of warcraft... *rolleyes*)

now somebody knock him out to get him on the p-l-a-n-e. ; )

I thought you were doing another version of him.
In that case I change my rating 9/10

but the head in itself is a ten.

now you just need this guy to go with him ;)

have you considered casting and selling the heads?...pretty please!

That is great! A terrific likeness.

wow, thats one B.A. Dude!

amazing work! Love the details on him, and the head is spot ON!!!!!!!

Thanks for the great response!
It's the first custom that my wife liked, she was actually impressed.
This is what gave me inspiration:
YouTube - Speedwalker

I'm really thinking about making the rest of the A-Team.
I got some ideas already.

But I was thinking about making Chuck Norris first.
Then Rambo, heck everyone from the 80's!!!

That would be great if you did all of the A-Team.

amaro i sent you a pm hope to hear back soon man

the mister t is perfect

you know mr. "C" was actually in the gi joe cartoon it was basically mr. t with a C hair cut and he worked for cobra

I love it when a plan comes together. Great work, amaro. I have a question though. How do you get the name to look so good on the stand? I wanted to make one for Grand Slam but couldn't figure out how to make look right. Yours looks perfect. What's the secret?

Holy crap that is awsome. Seriously I would purchase one of these if you sold em'. Please let us know!!

Mr. T makes way more sense than Matt Trakker.

Haha.
The freaking sculpt is absurdly good!

totally! I second that!

thats pretty damned good.

Thanks!

I remember Mr. C, I thought about making him a while back.
But the design on the character is not that cool. Might as well do T.

I'm okay at casting, I struggle a lot.

Holy crap man that is amazing, cast that figure and sell us the parts!!!!

I love that thing! I was thinking of doing a Mr. T myself but I've got a lot on the backburner, so he's going to have to wait.

anyways, here's my Chuck, just to give you a couple of ideas.

Awesome job.

Good idea on Chuck!
I was thinking more Delta Force.

For the stand I just made a sticker, it looks better in photos than in person, Ha Ha!

That head you sculpted is perfect. The whole Mr. T figure is great too.

I need him!

WOW! THAT IS AWESOME! INCREDIABLE DETAIL!!! (It had to be said in capital letters!)

thats frackin cool as hell. screw the fridge....WE GOT MR.T

thats BA Baracus alright...

That's quite nice. You should be selling those.

Wow. Awesome likeness on the head. Great work!

~Eric

One of the best customs Ive seen in a while, love the "T" great job Amaro! That Chuck is dope too!

Great job! I cannot say anything that others already haven't said already. I custom A-team would rock!

I do love it when a plan comes together.

Damn good!...

Hot Damn! That is Awesome!!!! Fantastic Job!

WOW. Def. awesome. We all need a head cast so we can add the T MAN to our collection! Your attention to detail makes what would be a good custom, excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes but as some one asked before how do you make the letters on his stand so perfect.

Amazing. I love it... how can you not love Mr. T?

dayum!!!! thats an awsome Mr.T.... front page all the way.

dude, right now cast that head and chains....... like right now. Sell them. I am first in line! Spot on perfect.

...................(speechless)

great job.

quoted for truth!

Stupid matt Trakker
