"I ain't tryin to reprogram a VCR." Hey, been a while, glad to be back. Burnout is never fun, and I had it bad after the Meet. I still have a project to get in the mail for someone, but I'm back to doing this again.
Anyway, it's no secret Tropic Thunder is my all-time favorite comedy. I just had to make this figure. I took a Downey head and sanded the hair off. My first intention was to use a foam microphone cover for the hair, but it wouldn't conform to the shape I needed. So, it came down to my ridiculously bad sculpting skills, which didn't turn out horrendous this time. I think the face sculpt is a bit thin for the character, but it came close. I used some Playing Mantis AJ parts, some CTVT and fashioned the bandolier of shells. Of course the card is from Anthony. I had a shotgun graciously donated by piecemaker, but it broke during shipping. I'll find another sometime. I'm just happy to have a complete figure completed.
