Burt Reynolds as Bandit from the hit movie - Smokey & the Bandit
Still tweaking this one - but for the most part he is done - just going to add his correct movie belt buckle and rings, and also a CB Handle

Head was a collaboration with a designer I hired & worked with - there was a lot of back and forth on this one- I just really wanted to make sure this head design was perfect.

That's really cool. It'll be interesting to see him when you're completely finished with him.

Great job!

I don't know if you went down this rabbit hole already, but when I was a kid, I had a Mego-scaled car (probably from American Plastics or Gay Toys, as I have learned from the Museum) that would make a good Bandit car. Maybe something to look into, if you are interested.

So I did buy a model of the trans am - I believe it is mego scale - was a bit pricey at like 150.00 when I grabbed it - but I have not had time to attempt it yet. I will let you know once I dive into it - here is a link to the model - the price on these jumps up and down - if you wait you can find it in the 150.00 range

This does look very cool, nice job.

Wow! What a great idea and a great custom. You should produce the whole main cast. Bufford T. Justice, the Bride (Frog), Jr. and the Snowman. I love the creativity and the attention to detail. Great Job!

I'm sure it will come out great. That looks way more screen accurate then the one I was talking about! For reference, here is a link to one on eBay:
