Last in my short series of PoC-inspired customs: City Strike Barbecue. He's definitely my favorite of the group.

Let me know what you think.

I like the color scheme and the use of the Arctis SE leggs, nice touch now he looks like a Fire Fighter.

Thanks man. I was going for a more authentic firefighter look.

Now this is exactly what I was talking about in your Frostbite thread: you took some modern parts, repainted them, and reworked some accessories to make an awesome-looking, production-quality figure. This guy definitely captures the flame-suit look but still has enough individual character that it's obvious who the figure is supposed to be. It would look right at home alongside a shelf of PoC figures (when they finally come out, that is). Nice work!

I might have to try making one of these for myself...

That is an amazing take on Barbecue...I've never really been a fan of the figure, but man, that guy looks great. You've kinda turned me around on him. Well played.

BBQ looks great even with those flaring out pants. He looks like a FF should, nice accessories as well. MY favorite of the bunch too that you've recently done, then Shockwave

Much better than the ROC exclusive.

That is a very cool figure! My only critique would be that I would like to see the O2 tank on his back... It looks obstructive on his chest the way it is. Otherwise, a perfect firefighter figure!

That's the best Barbecue I've ever seen - production or custom. 8-O

I love it. Firefighters should always have a bulkier look.

I never would have thought to put those parts together.
Fantastic custom.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I'm really glad you like him. Like I said, he's definitely my favorite of my PoC-inspired customs so far.

Today, I picked up a Clone Wars Firefighter Droid (This guy: http://www.brianstoys.com/store/Product ... TERDROIDC9). I'll be replacing BBQ's foam gun and backpack with the Droid's backpack and hose. I'll snap a pic as soon as I can.

Here is the recipe for anyone who is wondering:

Head, axe, backpack, hose, gun: 25th Barbecue
Torso, arms, hands: RoC Arctic Snake Eyes
Legs: RoC Ice Viper
Vest, air tank: RoC Eel
Fire extinguisher: Playmobil

OB
