I have a question.
I've never done a custom before. I want to recreate the panel from this page with the guy under the waterfall. I want to put a half a figure under a working desktop waterfall. Does anyone have suggestions for figures that would be good to use to make this? Shirtless guys who were bald or with matted hair? I'm open to different sources gor the parts. I am particularly interested in figures that are cheap or easy to get. I appreciate any insight you might have!

Not so much advice on the figure but with regards to the diorama:
Make sure you have a way to contain the inevitable splashing water that will occur from the figure diverting the stream. I've been making dios for a long time, and have been tempted to incorporate real water, but the risk of water damage is pretty high, if not guaranteed. You'll also end up with algae at some point without filtration. Truthfully, I'd advise against doing it altogether, and suggest making your own faux waterfall.

I agree. A BFS blank for the body.
You could use a 50th 2 pack (Duke /Tombstone) Duke head, or a Renegades Duke head. You can look through the Marauders Task Force Library nof blond heads too. I think BFS has an elf with blond hair, that you could shave down the ears. Lots of options!!!

Thank you all so much.
This is very, very helpful. And by coincidence, my daughter literally started experimenting with resin yesterday. So this could work out great.
