What figure combos did you use or did you mould some parts?

most of the figures are miggle regulars, just disected and resculpted with faces, shoulder pads and larger thigh pads, if necessary. a few of them are the old tudor hong kong's, and 1 haiti repro. i used all of the poses and arm configurations. the arms and hands are from the figures that came with the snickers set. they were the same scale and had all of the fingers sculpted into the hands. i think that pretty soon i will start experimenting with some other styles of figures.
thanks!

NO! I have people coming over at 9 tonight to watch ultimate fighting , and the wife works tonight also. I am thinking it can be done between 8-9 pm. That should be plenty of time.

Those figures are awesome!! How did you resculpt the faces?. It gives your figures a personality which I'm trying to do with mine.

Thanks

i took an exacto knife, some people use a dremel, and sliced off the existing face. i then mixed some apoxie sculpting compound and sculpted on new faces using fine-tipped sculting tools and a flat-head sewing needle. i have no idea what the needle is really suppose to be for, but it came in a kit of different needles, and it worked out perfectly for me.
i start with a round, blunt tool to shape the sides of the nose and the eyebrow.
i then push up at the base of the nose to finish off that shape. i then take the needle, create nostrils and a mouth.
finally, i'll use the other tools to clean up the sculpt, and push and pull the face until i am happy with the results.
