Aw, crap.
I kept that Zanzibar head for months and months. It had so much character that I just knew I could find a use for it... and yet it looked goofy no matter what body I placed it on. And here's the thing: your combo looks great, even though I never liked the Gnawgahyde body (I am subtly modifying my Gnawgahyde as I look at your photos, funnily enough), but that's not what provoked the aw-crap. It's this: Shanghai. That's all I needed. Just that name. That's the doorway to figuring out who that character is, and now I want like hell to create one of my own. ...and I traded the damn head! Cool characters, man. I love the name Tex, too! I can't wait to photograph Kwinn, but I'm still waiting to meet with someone to buy my latest monster. Soon... |

I've always loved the head sculpt, everyone always hated it but I had a special place for Zanzibar, the body is ok too. But Imagine this guy on a skiff in the south china seas pirating oil tankers and cargo ships! I also used him in a kind of "Young Major Bludd" Kitbash, I'll have to post some pics at some point cause I really liked it! Thanks for the kind words mate, cant wait to see some of your retaliation wave 3.5 pics! Did you like duke? I loved the sculpt, but he just doesnt hold anything properly.. and I HATE the mouse vests, I was just like "USE THE SHOCK TROOPER/STEEL BRIGADE VESTS!". But yeah, get some pics up bro! |

Well, what happened was this: the few I liked I kept as-is, and the ones I didn't like I didn't even open, so after all the months of anticipation, the wave was something of a dud for me in terms of kitbashes. I love Kwinn so much though that I don't really care; have you seen Ed's photos of him? Good gosh a'mighty.
I have photographed CC, and I photographed the Roadblock combo I stole from you but I need to re-shoot him 'cause one of his accessories was messed up and I didn't notice. The Great Kwinn Spamathon might be all you hear from me from this wave, oddly enough. |

Anyone tried replacing the new CG's lower legs with the 25th CG's lower legs? I don't have a 25th version to try it. Not sure if they would fit, or if the red would match.
