    nevermind I was sleepy when I posted and didn't really notice the background. You really should change the pics.

      Its a cast I got from someone. I believe its an original sculpt. Pain in the *** doing the eyes the way it was sculpted. I used something called Archer Fine Transfers for the eyeballs. They make water slide transfers which made the job easier. They come in different scales and size 1 and 2 fit most Megos

            Welcome to the board! Nice execution. But I gotta agree, this one makes me a little uncomfortable.

                The Struggle was real

                I can understand why ppl might be upset but it's not a diorama of him gasing ppl. Please keep in mind that I made him bc he was a part of Marvels history and the origin of The Red Skull.
                Using CTVT stuff I had a shirt tear, the gun holster explode first use bc the plastic CTVT made it with was so brittle, the buttons on the jacket literally just fall off.
                Thank you for the compliments, it was a struggle to get it done.

                  Sure, we get that, but you also have to understand that you literally introduced yourself to us with a picture of the Führer saluting in front of a gigantic swastika banner. Most folk might butter us up first with a hello, or a nice job on that Hawkeye, man post, ha.

                    Sorry, but there are so many other characters or historical figures you could celebrate as a custom. Coupled with the background that is proudly being shown, I just find this disheartening, disturbing, and tasteless. That symbol stands for something. Not sure it has a place here.

                      I originally took pics like some others I just posted, but it looked very plain jane sort to speak. It's like do a posting of Dr Doom just standing there as an average joe. I get what you're saying, I just wanted to up it a notch but I can see how it can be considered overboard

                        Yes, there are historical figures but I wasn't originally going for this. This was an after thought when I got stumped on the character The Hate Monger. I had everything done but a hood which I will do in vinyl and remains a WIP. But in the process of assembling him I had ordered 10 head sculpts to do more than one Hate Monger for ebay sales. While shopping on CTVT I seen the O'Hara suit and just seeing a pic of Hitler with the Red Skull while doing some research, I was like "Wow, that looks exactly like the same suit." Then I found the holster with the shoulder strap and it was off to the races. Here is my Hate Monger WIP

                          It's a touchy subject, especially nowadays, unfortunately. I appreciate your craftsmanship, but I would be careful on how you present these figures moving forward.

                            Hitler is probably the most popular villain of the 20th century, he's actually talked about more today than he was when he was alive, with so many documentary tv shows and WWll history about him, interesting to say the least, but also very sad at the same time. I personally am not offended that you made this custom, but I completely understand why some here are and there right, but I also think you didn't intend this to be anything racially subject matter or glorified in any way, maybe a pic of Captain America kicking him in the head, or jamming the nazi flag down his throat might have helped a little.

                            Like Earth 2 Chris stated, the craftsmanship is appreciated, but definitely be careful in the future on how you present stuff like this, especially background scenery.

                              Yeah, probably not a good defense, I think you should....oh wait...I just got a PM from Johnnie Cochran. He says your defense is solid..just add an extra 's' to gasing..
