Custom World War Robot

[Dropshipbob]

This guy is made out of all sorts of stuff.

-Main body, section of PVC pipe
-Head dome, part of a candy container
-arms, scratch built
-Hands, from some Microman toy
-Legs and feet, some sort of Stikfas/Mini-Mates type toy
-Belt and pouches, 21st Century Toys 1:12 SWAT gear

The paint job was probably the easiest part, flat black all over and then stippled with burnt umber, carmel corn and white, then given a wash of reddish brown here and there.

He is super poseable, feet, knnes, mid thighs, hips, fingers, wrists, elbows, mid-upper arms, shoulders, head. I wanted this to be as close to the official figure as possible.

Now, I also need a name for this guy...something along the lines of what 3A names it's stuff, here's what I have...

-Bad Boy
-Killjoy
-Ghost Face (which would go with the painting on the head dome)
-Kilroy

Thoughts?

Aside from the belt, that looks like it rolled out of whatever Chinese factory 3A uses.

I'd go Greek for the name, either after a named cyclops (Polyphemus, Brontes, Steropes, or Arges), or use the Greek word for cyclops, "kuklops".
He's a Bertie, correct? I saw an old movie the other day and one of the characters was called Automatic Slim. Kind of fits him.

True story: I actually want to do an 1:18 Von de Plume or N.O.M. Commander-style custom.

Yeah, I wish I had some 1:6th Viet Nam style pouches, but this is what I had on hand, I didn't feel like hunting down something more accurate, ordering it, waiting for it...etc.

This is one of those projects that was so long in the making that I just wanted to finally get it done.

Yes, he is supposed to be a Bertie.

Awhile back, I did a 1:18th Nom De Plume.

 

[K-Tiger]

I know about long projects, yo.

 

[Dropshipbob]

I had the base body for this sitting in my desk for at least two years...maybe more.

No idea who/what it is, but that paint work looks fantastic.

 

[K-Tiger]

It's an expensive (some would say absurdly so) art figure line.

He pretty much nailed the aesthetic, and going by the art might have even got it to proper 1:18.

Pic with a 1:18 figure for scale?

 

[Dropshipbob]

Sorry for the late reply.

Yeah, from what I can tell, this should be 1:18th scale. Although the artwork I've seen has it change here and there. I have a WWR and my version is really close in size.

The picture here is with a Reaction figure, which is all I had on hand.

And thanks for the comments on the paint job. I used my factory WWR and tried to replicate the paint job as best as possible, lots of stippling with a sponge, some dry brushing and a wash here and there.
