OK, so my camera is not doing well. Here is my most recent acquisition from Ben Molina at Legends Reborn. Continuing with the Western Icons Ben made an 8" scale John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn and Clint Eastwood as the Outlaw Jose Wales.
Ben's detail on outfits and sculpts is always so amazing. I truly wish my camera could do justice to these pieces.

Hopefully I can get the settings on my camera correct so I can take more.

Love to see better pics of the headsculpts, but they are instantly recognizable, so he did a great job.

Instantly recognizable! Congrats.
Thanks. Ben deserves all the congrats, I just shelled out the idea and the cash. I will pass on everyone's feelings to him though.

I know that Ben has skulked around the boards before but never joined. I would love it if he decided to become a member.

Please tell him to join. It's always fun to hobknob with others who enjoy this stuff too.

He told me that he has poked around and picked up some great tips. I keep telling him that joining and participating is more fun than just sticking his head in every once in a while.

I know what you mean. Ben's clothes and saddles might be the best part about his customs. The detail he places in the clothing is beyond reproach.

For all who commented on more pictures I truly will try to add some better quality ones this evening after my wife gets home. Right now I've got five kids by myself, which leaves no opportunity to pose figures. :costumed-smiley-005:Oo:
