Torso looks a bit thick to be Bruce, but otherwise I'm incredibly impressed. |

Looks fantastic Daremo, I just purchased that head and I think I have a Tru Quick Kick coming my way to slap it on. What Skin tone is that custom mix? It looks pretty great all around and of course your custom weapons are spot on. |

He looks pretty cool, nice job on him and the weapons. Jfak075 will like this custom, becouse he has nipples

Looks great! This is the best version of the Legendary Master that I have seen. |

I tend to agree with Jay...though I think it's more the Head is a tad bit undersized for the bulk of that Torso.. (It could just be that I'm more ARAH centric and it takes "Pumpkin Heads" for figures to look proportional to me" Also not a Fan of the "slit wrists"...For whatever reason I find the location of the hand articulation to be really distracting...where if it was closer to the hand I don't think I would mind as much...Sadly I just don't know my modern parts well enough to suggest an alternate pair of forearms. Everything else...looks spot on...and the skin-tone is right on. |

Thanks for the comments, all! Yeah, the head is on the small size. I had the body planned months before I got the head. I'm not a fan of the slit wrists either, but for the time being, they were alright. So, what torso (sans nipples) should I use now? Keep it the same, ROC SE, Resolute SE, Iron Fist 1, or Iron Fist 2? Attachment: DSCN1280.JPG [ 45.03 KiB | Viewed 481 times ] I think I might also try HOH Storm Shadow upper arms with Resolute SE lower arms and mod the Hard Master hands to fit. Oh, the recipe for the flesh is Testors Model Masters Acryl 1/4 mix of Skin tone Warm Tint, 1/4 Skin Tone Base Light, 1/4 Dark Tan, 1/4 Yellow Zinc Chromate. |

Iron Fist 2, IMO, has the best match for Bruce's torso definition, from the shape to the actual musculature. The Snake-Eyes torsos could work too... I'm just uncertain of how well they'd pass off as actual bare chests. Their shorter lengths might help make the head feel more proportional (and the figure itself more "to scale" with Bruce's smaller frame). |

Outstanding job on one of favorites, truly. For tweakage, I agree that proportion just might be key for this character - not just intrinsically or in terms of his own physique, but also with regard to the stature of other figures, in general. Great job on this rendition as is though. |
