I've got an idea for a custom and need a 1:18th Nixon head sculpt. Anyone ever see one??

I know I'm reaching, but figured I'd ask anyway.

It's the jowls and the nose that are key here... I can't think of any that will work unaltered, but it seems like an Emperor/Senator Palpatine from Star Wars with a little nose work would work.

Ran upstairs to try an Ep I Palpatine head with a little paint, mind you this is sloppy and quick but it might be a workable start. I think you'd need to sand the poofy hair down on the sides, but the jowls are there.

Thanks, guys. I've got a Nixon custom I've been dying to work on.

...After making Obama, I honestly had been thinking of doing other president customs. (I think Red Spot actually looks like GWB).

I might have to make Nixon.

might not be allowed to. that fine line between politics/politician and historical figure.

would be interesting to do all the presidents in Joe scale. I have a complete set (of the actual figurines, not the later custom casts) of the U.S. presidents made by Marx back in their heyday. But I don't think I'd have enough parts to pull it off here. lol.

anyway, is your Nixon custom in line with the mech driving Reagan you made? Or are you making a Watchmen dio (fingers crossed)

My Nixon is going to be a major character. Alternate verse. Don't want to give too much away, but I'm excited to see it finished. I tried to fit it into my EoD verse, but it's a bit over the top given everything going on in the zombie apocalypse.

Zombie Nixon? Forget Stargate, he can make his entrance into your 'verse through a Watergate...

Hey! Bad jokes about political topics are still political topics!

Seems to me I saw this Obama custom somewhere though.
