Payday 2 is a super fun co-operative multiplayer game that is clearly a passion project of it's creators. It's something I respect and I felt a certain kinship to these characters. I even loved the ultra cheesy Live Action web series they had, and I really hope they finish it up. I knew I had to do these characters in a 3.75"/4" scale using GI Joes. Added some photoshop magic just to make it a bit more fun.

Heads: Custom Sculpted by me
Bodies: Marvel Universe Professor X with sculpted vests.

Was a great learning experience, as I'd never done this much sculpting before. Dallas also utilizes a waterslide decal for the blue part of his mask, as it was just going to be impossible to do with paint. This was also my first experience using waterslide decals, and it turned out really well, I believe. The various straps and such were made using a black denim patch I got from Wal-Mart, used for patching holes in pants.

Excellent work on the masks. Seriously. Like they just stepped from the game.

I know nothing of the characters, but the figures are nicely done.

Thanks you guys. There was something kinda sobering about working on the same body 3 or 4 times. Lots of dremelling and sanding and prep work long before a paint or piece of green stuff is applied lol. Dallas (The guy with the American Flag mask) was actually a giant pain, because I used the arms and jacket from an Indiana Jones Sr. figure to try and give him a different texture and design...but the arms were not at all compatible with the professor X torso; The shoulders were super wide and made him look like a football player lol. So it took a lot of dremelling and molding/sculpting the arm sockets to make it fit.

Kinda strange how much time and effort can be spent on something no one would ever notice or consider.

Great point Zarzak on the amount of time it takes to make something look easy. And you did a great job of that here.

I don't know the game, but who doesn't love a group of thugs in clown masks? I have some Joker gang types in WIP form on my desk, and this gives me a few ideas too.
