Great work on both. I really like that Commander - it has a Resolute feel but in a classic way.

Excellent work as always Bcost. There was a new sculpt era CC that was rather on the buff side that I liked, as he looked intimidating, Your custom fits that bill nicely too.

Leatherneck is one of the best I've seen. That Mutt vest is perfect (Hasbro, are you paying attention? Buzzer torso indeed!) as is the rest of the parts combo.

Two excellent customs.

As far as a "scene," is it from "The Rotten Egg" or "The Joes and Golden Fleece?" Or are you going to a reinactment from Gladiator?

Both are great, but really liking that CC. The legs are a huge improvement over the awful CG legs. Love the RAHC-style paint washes too.
