Up first, Captain Caveman. This one came together today. I've been thinking about it recently, I figure he's a dude who has lost his mind and goes around clubbing the crap out of zombies while screaming and yelling a lot.

I added "real" chest and arm hair using the method I did with Charlie Brown, I cut up some of an old ragged paint brush, laid down a little glue, and stuck the hair on. It's far from perfect but I like it. I was gonna go further up the arms with the hair but decided I like the hairy forearm look.

I may go back and do a bit of weathering around the bottom of the skin, boots, and lower pants.

A firefighter in full Turn Out Gear

OreoBuilder did one a while back,

I went a slightly different route and based it on my own Turn Out Gear, I became a Volunteer Fire Fighter after doing all the research for my Fire Fighter figure group.

This one is of a buddy who is battling cancer. He's been in the hospital for a while and I made this to try and cheer him up some. He owns a gym where he's a gymnastics coach so I added the logo of his gym to his shirt.

Just another zombie. Trying to use up parts and make figures I can do quickly to quench my customizing thirst between feedings and diaper changes.

And lastly, another one inspired by OreoBuilder, the guys stuff is awesome. Science Vipers. Another couple of figures that were easy to make, used up parts I wouldn't have done anything with, and fill in a need for my Cobra troops.

See OreoBuilder's here:

Holy crap that Capt Caveman is sweet. I was considering an updated CC for the Hanna-Barbera NJC a while back, but couldn't figure out how to do it.

I'm stealing the hell out of this - what did you use for the coat?

The custom of your friend looks great, too - nice to see that Loki head works so well for other customs, and awesome job on the shirt.

I love that Captain Caveman. That show was one of my favorites as a kid.

Thanks man. For the coat I used a cast Star Wars cloak, I don't know which figure it was from, and added the fur off a Wolverine Origins Sabertooth cape.

Thanks.

Neat concept for Captain Caveman, but my favorite here is the Firefighter. That is perfect!!! Nice use of parts.

Why heck can't we get GIJOE firefighter?

Does Hasbro know how many of them would sell?

Really hard to pick a winner in this batch... they're all so great. Captain Caveman is a pretty awesome update, and the body hair is a really interesting approach. Your civil servant figures (cops, firefighters) are the best!
