Thanks, please feel free to borrow any ideas you like. Amazingly for a character I hadn't planned to make and is not from my era that Interrogator custom is still surviving on my shelf. |

A few more parts have arrived so started on some more customs alongside my Adventure Team project. First up is Big Ben v1 to follow on from my v4 shown earlier. Uses pretty much the same build but with different legs. Can't decide which one I prefer and should take the spot on the shelf, v1 is more iconic to me but I think v4 might be more striking.

Another character who I was not particularly fond of growing up (and didn't actually own) is Cross Country. The hat is cast, and I gave him a name badge influenced by the club version although the MTF blank panels are quite large so I used his code name rather than just his surname.

Cool! Cross-Country is a character I wasn’t particularly fond of when he came out, but over the years I have warmed up to him. Customs like this are in large part the reason why, as it wasn’t the design from Hasbro that I didn’t care for, it was the execution. Using the design as a guideline, many have made great looking customs of Cross-Country, and yours is included in that group! Nice job!

Completely forgot to comment on the Big Ben (don't know why), who looks legit. The figure looks great, and the color scheme looks like the one that came in, what, the Joe Vs Cobra line? Really nice work using the head sculpt from that figure!

Thanks, I think the WW2 parts work well for Big Ben, and the head on that Joe v Cobra figure is a good colour match for the flesh tone that Marauder uses. |
