Here is the latest in my pulp hero customs...The Avenger! This was an interesting one because it gave me a chance to try some more sculpting. I thought I'd give the single-breasted jacket look a try with some green stuff. I also looked everywhere for leg straps, but couldn't find any I liked. Luckily there was a video on Youtube of someone doing straps with green stuff and that was a tremendous help.
The head is a custom I got on eBay that I dry-brushed. The torso and arms are from a buckaroo figure from Dime Novel Legends. The trigger hand is a Marauders, while the other hand is a Boss Fight gripping hand. The waist and legs are a Marauders German Soldier. The knife sheath is a Maurauders while the gun holster is a G.I.Joe. Finally, the gun. He's got a distinct gun in the pulps and I couldn't find anything I liked that fit. It's not quite a revolver but it's not quite an automatic. I took a Dime Novel Legends pistol and a Marauders Nambu pistol and spliced them together with Green Stuff. It's about as close as I could get. Slowly but surely my pulp hero customs are coming along nicely. Special thanks to Vitruvian Armory for the extra Hero H.A.C.K.S. stands which really help complete the look. The next pulp heroes I'd like to do are a little difficult... The Shadow, The Green Hornet and Kato. Finding just the right parts are gonna take time, but then again that's half the fun. You know, maybe I should make a Dick Tracy figure in the mean time.

Thank you! You're all very kind! A part of me wanted to use the Dime Novel Legends chest piece similar to what I used on The Rocketeer but I wanted to try my hand at sculpting. I'm still mixed on it, but it could've been worse.

Nice! I only learned about this character once I started looking more into Doc Savage for my custom. Really weird backstory on him. Looks really good. Always great to see Pulp characters getting some love in custom form.

Thank you! You're Doc Savage is amazing and I'm in awe of your Lone Ranger and Tonto! Believe me, if I can find the right parts, more pulp heroes are coming.
