This one was done for a video game boss contest. I chose Mecha-Hitler from Wolfenstein 3D:
Head: Crankcase '85 Torso: B.A.A.T. '93 Upper arms: B.A.A.T. '93 Lower arms: Rock 'n Roll '93 + Sci-Fi '86 backpack + Whirlwind Twin Battle Gun ends Legs: Persuader '87 cannon, Ryu '93 legs + F.A.N.G. '82 rocket piece Helmet: bottle cap from some styling gel Hitler in his robotic suit, Mecha-Hitler, gave me the chance to do something useful with those ugly Star Brigade figures. Crankcase's head looked very similar to Hitler so it was pretty obvious to use that head. I only had to make the 'stache a little smaller. The legs were the biggest challenge since I wanted to make them work like any normal G.I.Joe figure. I took a few pairs of Ryu legs and cut them into pieces so they would fit into the Persuader cannon legs. I wasn't disappointed by the result at all, now I could pose Mecha-Hitler as if he is walking, kneeling or standing. The main colour was a bit strange, it took me quite some paint to mix-up and finally get that strange blue-ish colour. I did make a few adjustments, painted some more details red and did some dry-brushing, otherwise he would look a bit boring. Last edited by Tim 121RVC; 01-21-2012 at 03:35 AM.. |

Agreed! But Hitler had an even narrower mustache think J. Jonah Jamison from Spiderman or simply google Hitler for an accurate example.
Nonetheless a great idea and fantastic execution.

very cool- but I also think the mustache is just a little off- Hitler's is so distinctive on him that you can put it on anybody and immediately think Hitler (or charlie chaplin I guess) Crank's is just a bit too modern without some modding. But everything else is FANTASTIC!

Most excellent. The drybrushing is really well done.

Ach der lieber!
That's really cool: An excellent idea very well done. Would look even cooler with a German cross on him for that extra 90's cheese factor!
