Rataro custom figure

darththomas81 · 01-30-2010, 04:56 PM

This is my first custom of 2010 and boy has it been a long time coming. Started this one way back in Nov 09. I'm going for a shorter description this time as time is short with a little one to look after so here goes:

Base = WWE deluxe agression Big show, shortened legs to make him fit better with my others
Head = TMNT Splinter made to fit WWE head, twistie tie for moustache
Helmet = sculpted and piece of fodder for the crest, wife's old jewelery for the jewel
Shoulder pads and removable sash = foamie sheet
Sleeves = Old pillow case glued on and painted
Emblem on belly = foamie again
Gauntlets = foamie
knee pads = sculpted
feet = sculpted
Daggers = narnia prince caspian and king miraz 3.75" figures

All other details sculpted and painted with GW paints. There are a few rough spots on him but I'm more than happy to stand him next to my others and swell the ranks of the mutants. Waiting on the chopping block I've got vultureman and monkian but I've no idea when I'll have the time to do them so I won't say they are coming soon. Hope you enjoy.

Wow, that's nice! Before I even read the recipe, I though 'why didn't I ever think of using Splinter's head?'

"twistie tie for moustache" -awesome.

Cheers guys, I had to look long and hard for the head for this one, got it from one of my friends on figure realm. Next up is Monkian but it will probably take a while to do as I'm working on a different line at the moment, thanks again.
