Ironblood and Black Major customs

Hi all-second batch of "pop and push" customs- very straight forward not a lot of skill involved at all but I think they look effective.

First up- Baron Ironblood-

easy peasy this one-just used German Officer figure from Indiana Jones, popped his head off and pushed on Dr Henry Jones head-added original Ironblood mask-quick paint job- painted armband and added skull logo painted red stripe on trousers and that's about it really.. but I think this gives Ironblood a nice look- one could almost say regal??


Black Major-

Ahh ,the Black Major-one of my favourites!
This figure again very simple to do-in fact both figures took me around half an hour each including painting to finish. ROC Snake Eyes body, jerkin was from a ROC Zartan,backpack 25th Anni Russian figure-the name escapes me at the mo...- firearm supplied by Maurauder, and the head is from the same German officer from the India Jones figs. I really like this face sculpt-I think it gives the Major a menacing look with his sinister smile-a right evil looking git!
With both these figs I wanted a different look but still retaining the classic elements of both the characters-I hope you like them-I had fun creating them(even if it did only take a short while!!!!)

Comments,feedback etc welcome


Cheers all

No improvements needed - these look great. I particularly like The Black Major.

What is the base figure? I'm currently using a Grand Moff Tarkin for mine, with a lovely long coat over the top, but I'm struggling with paint application at the mo.

Oh - and EXCELLENT CUSTOMS! I'd best get my finger out and get some more of mine finished - I'm looking like a slacker at the moment - haven't entered Custom of the Month in ages!

Excellent work, the simple ones are often the most effective, this is the way Hasbro could & should go with the :enemy: in my opinion.. minimal expense for them & hopefully collectors alike.
