Post subject: | LBC Buck McCann |
Saying my custom is an LBC is redundant because they're all I make. No paint, nothing fancy. Although drilling out the "stripped" screw on a brand new torso that had never been touched is a lot of frustrating work I've wanted to make use of some parts I had and while looking over the cartoon-verse for "major" minor characters (but still worthwhile) I found Buck McCann from the Sunbow epsiode "The Rotten Egg" Attachment: head: Long Arm torso & arms: Interrogator v3 waist & legs: 2010 convention Interrogator hat: Gung-Ho v2 strap: Zartan v7 bag I've always wanted to find some use for the head of Long Arm since the rest of the figure is crap and recently found that it doesn't really fit well in most ARAH torsos because the neck is so wide. Surprisingly, it did fit perfectly in the new sculpt Interrogator torso. I don't like the arms, but again, I don't have much choice. The belts should also be switched, but that can't be helped either Col. Brekhov v2 legs would work just as well, but I already had the con Interrogator legs available and their darker color looks better IMO. Both also have the red stripe on the sides of the legs just like McCann. I wanted a gray hat, but since the coat and pants don't match, why should the hat? And besides, I was just happy that the boiling method FINALLY worked for something! |

A light grey should be easy to find. It would be on any friction point so it doesn't need to be fancy paint. Even if you don't paint it you should at least get a nail file and sand off the Marine insignia. |

Definitely works, an M. Bison head might have a cap that's a little closer to the look of the 'toon design, though. I hadn't seen this episode until recently, thought it was pretty good. Nice choice of a character to tackle. |

I thought of Bison, but I really wanted to use Long Arm and besides, I love removeable headgear |
