Picking back up with some Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors customs

Herc is looking good! Nice job on the paint & sculpt work! Love the arm guards! Having been influenced by this series recently & doing reboot/modernized versions, I can always appreciate your cartoon accuracy. Hoping for Flora Next! ;-)

I said it on Facebook and I'll say it here...these are amazing and I can hear the theme song in my head!

Which was more difficult to do: Jayce's head or Saw Boss?

Actually, Flora is next. I have some parts picked out, but need to get them all together and see what I need to tweak or if they will even work once all put together. When I say next I mean as far as Wheeled Warriors is concerned. I have several sitting on my desk in front of her.

Hands down Saw Boss. All of his details are sculpted so he was one of the more difficult customs I've done. I had no idea how to even begin to attack the head, so he sat on my desk for over a year while my sculpting improved and I figured it out.

A franchise I only know in name but they look great. Nice parts combo on Jayce

Thanks. The issue I'm having now with older customs like Jayce is I want to "fix" them but then of course the paint isn't as smooth because you are painting over another paint job.

I was never a huge Wheeled Warriors fan growing up, but I did have some of the toys. I've rewatched some of the episodes recently on YouTube and it isn't bad but not one of my favorites.
