Toot Toot!

This is one I've wanted to do for years. I tried my hand at sculpting a head then found one on a caster site and tossed my idea. The hard part was finding parts. I tried a lot of different combinations and finally found this combo and loved it. It's been painted for a couple weeks but I had to get more waterslide decal paper to get the tattoos, I was going to do more but decided against it.

Inspired by this:

That looks incredible! I love the use of I assume Avengers Assemble Hulk lower arms. It matches perfectly. Great work!

You are correct. The forearms were the hardest part to find. These worked best out of all of the options I had. Thank you.

That is great. Sculpting on the stomach is great.

The torso and upper arms are from an Indiana Jones figure. No sculpting involved. In fact all I ddi was hollow it out to accept the Joe waist and sand it down slightly to give it the "muffin top" look of an old muscle man who has aged.

Thanks all for the kind words.
