So, here's the story. Last year and the early months of this year, projects would take forever. I wasn't keeping up well, and was pretty much working all the time. But, these days I'm full time into customs and have really gotten my speed up. However, waiting doesn't always work for everyone, and I've still got loads to catch up on. That's understandable. I was asked to fix up Questar, leader of the Dino Riders, and either my design choice or the timeline didn't appeal. After quite a few months, it still sat on in my work area, so I opted to finally finish him up. In a redesign inspired by another customizer's 6" rendition.
The torso was resculpted, and the skirt piece was glued and sculpted onto the belt. Also filled in the gauntlets and sculpted the headband, then added to the necklace a bit to make it more accurate. Cut the shoulder pads off the armor piece that I believe came from a Storm Shadow, then glued them to the body. From there, a full repaint and some tedious black lines to finish him up. The final touch, however, was the blaster. I believe his classic design has a gun that wrapped around his arm, but that wouldn't really work for how I went about it. The other customizer just gave him a really big gun, but I didn't want to go that route. I still have more guns like the one I cut down to use for Deadshot, so I just gave him that. Seemed to work well enough. Recipe: Body - MU Captain America Head - cast Shoulder Pads - GI Joe Storm Shadow Skirt piece - MU Elektra Blaster - no clue Necklace - MU Captain Britain
