I started this custom way back when the guys were doing their Resurgent contest, during Custom Celebration. Then, when I didn't finish it for that, I thought I'd enter it into the 'Tiger Force Something' contest, hopefully to win the Erik Araña Brawler card, and when that didn't happen, thought maybe I could make it for this NJC, and get Bucky into the Cantina. As some of you may or may not know, Bucky likes motorcycles, so I took a 4LOM Bust Up and made him a space traveler. But because it looked so insect-ish, and I ran across the name 'Mansquito' online, it all came together as this:

Side note: tried something new on that jacket: since leather gets lighter in the creases instead of darker, I took a page out of Erik's book, and painted the jacket in a light suede color, and then dry-brushed the black on top of that, and then finished with a light citadel brown wash. The eyes on the helmet are silver, with yellow and green tamiya clear paints, followed by a dark wash.
Thoughts?
hey this custom doesn't suck
