It really started for me when i made a Zartan for Steampunk verse this is were i took the arms and legs idea to make my new Zartan
VVVVVVnew pics of new zartan at bottom of page(steampunk version is old pic) Stronox really inspired me with his rendition of Zartan so i used the Bow idea he did along with the Hood and the overall paint Scheme with a bit of my touches thrown in http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projets/92222-zartan-stronox.html I got the torso idea from fellow hisstanker sgcapers Scorpion i used my kumite custom (the torso)for Zartan http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/103330-scorpion-rascal.html And finally i took inspiration from the new Sideshow Zartans Dio with the fallen space probe and jungle or in my case a Swampish type of Environment and fallen space probe with a swimming snake (Indy Mutt) I made the Dio out of Styrofoam with a layer of Sand/elmers glue then put layer after layer of Hot Glue to get the water look you ask me why put the sand? well if not the hot glue would have melted the styrofoam to nothing which did happen on the backside of the dio the rock piece i got from a LOTR castle playset for smaller figs. it seemed perfect for the project the little stump also came from that set the Tree piece is an actual branch from my yard i cooked in the oven at around 250 degrees for an hour to kill any bugs and molds that may be on it the "Zartan" name on the Tree was made using a solder iron then painting the letters in black to make em stand out some Knife is from a MU fig. the Branches on the limb came from a hobby seller on ebay were intended to be used on HO scale trains Zartan Construction: Hood: Star Wars Palpatine fig. Head: POC Zartan upper torso: MU Iron Man Modular armor Lower Torso: ROC RIA Duke with sculpted on belt and buckle with Resolute Zartan belt pockets Upper Arms: 25th Zartan Lower Arms/Legs: POC ninja kick action SE Hands: Star Wars Clone trooper the hands swivel like the newer SE Bow/Arrow: POC spirit with the little stretchy rubber bands glued to it for bow string Leg Knife: POC SE Ver 3 the kickass one Rifle: POC Recondo

I cannot find one of those cowl's to save my life.. that figure doesn't exist for me. LOL
Your Zartan is great.. I had plans to use the arms and legs from that SE for a Zartan custom as well. Love the mini Dio as well.
