Lincoln is perfect. Fantastic use of parts to pull him together so well.

Hitler needs a symbol on his chest. maybe the German cross or eagle or something. The feet are a nice touch too.

That might be a good call Pluv... I went with the red armband, but I stopped short of painting on a swastika... I know it might be kind of silly or hypocritical to draw a line there, but I felt like it would cross the line from tongue in cheek to taking itself too seriously. I'd want anyone who saw this figure, but didn't know me, to be able to tell it wasn't meant to fetishize the Nazi party's ideology, just play with the role of historical boogeyman Hitler has taken on in popular culture.

ANYWAY... the Iron Cross or a stylized eagle might be a more... comfortable symbol to incorporate on him.

Oh, thanks for noticing the feet!

It was another detail taken from his Wolfenstein appearance.

Lol, naw, it's just on a black neckpost. Kinda wishing I'd thought of that though, it wouldn't be to hard to add a water effect inside the helmet and use a clear rod as the neck post!

I'd love to see this idea turned into a toy line.

If you wanna do clear bubble effects there's these epoxy-dots that Michael's sells that's used in scrapbooking. They're clear or colored and have adhesive backings, different sizes. You could stick those inside the helmet and make it look like bubbles.

I don't know if I've ever posted something that's gotten this much feedback.

Thanks so much everyone, it really is great to hear everyone is enjoying these two!

Dang, these are awesome. I honestly thought these were done by Jin saotome when I first saw them. Didn't realize you did them until I read it on your Amelia Earhart. Excellent work
