    Lost: Man in Black w/ custom Wes Wood dagger

    Here's my tweaks to the Man in Black. The dyed head not only improved his look, but made it possible to switch to a regular EMCE body and put sandals on him. I did not like the idea of painted on sandals when there are tons of Friar Tuck repros floating around.

    I'd been working on sculpting my own version of the ancient roman dagger the character used to demonstrate magnetism, kill his mother, and eventually be stabbed with himself to no effect.

    Then Wes Wood showed up at the Museum and no less than a week after my first PM he sent me this stunning handcrafted knife and scabbard. I'm feeling positively matricidal I love it so much.

    The dye job really helps. Still has kind of an intense buggy eye stare about him though. BTW: I also hate molded on shoes.

    Great job!

    You are really on a mission with these!
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          nice rework, the head looks a lot better darkened a bit.

                That dagger is beautiful. Looks much better. Clearly you're a man on a mission, and I can't wait to see what you come up with for this line next.

                    I should add that Wes intends to take another stab at this dagger, can't wait to see how he improves it.
