I'm sorry it went down like this

[K-Tiger]

but someone had to lose
It's the nature of the business It's the Smugglers Blues

Taking a break from the military to do this one. Shamelessly stole the parts formula (mostly) from a Chuckles I saw on HT. Thankfully the black hides my number 10 sculpting skills, for the most part. overall look was inspired by Glenn Frey's character Jimmy Cole on Miami Vice. Hands aren't permanent, but they were the only articulated set I had on hand. Working on a stainless 1911A1 so he has more than just narcotics as accessories.

Enough :

Nice work! Like the paint job.

 

[K-Tiger]

Thanks, NSA.

Something's jacked up on the right leg. I've got a piece backwards, not sure if the inner thigh is a left one or what. Bah, the price of fast and dirty customs.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

The paint and sculpting came out beautifully...the print on the shirt especially...and though the shirt sculpting looks really good, it looks like you should've extended it down a tad more...

The leg looks like you have two outside left leg pieces...I take it you have more than one set of those legs?

 

[K-Tiger]

I do, I do. I had to scavenge a piece from the RoC SS that had the holster. If I ever turn up the missing half I'll probably add it on.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I didn't even notice until I read your post...the top half is so eye catching that the leg issue is easy to miss...

Forgot to say how much I dig the drug bundles

And what's up with the wall in the background?...very industrial looking...

What Eddie said on the leg.

I really like the paint on the shirt, that came out really clean.

 

[K-Tiger]

Thanks, guys. Took this one in the workshop-in-progress. Didn't feel like fooling with the light box. I'm going to have to, though. I've got that rough '57 Bel Air that would look great with him.

Thinking maybe he needs one of those Marauder sawed-off shotguns?

 

[GIMark]

Looks sweet! Kinda reminds me of a thin Sam Axe from Burn Notice

 

[K-Tiger]

Now that you mention it I could have taken him in that direction. Sam Axe didn't even occur to me at the time.


*jots Sam Axe on the "To Do" list*

The paintjob on that shirt is fantastic!! Really really great!! Loving the narcotics. This custom is pure win!! Definitely could be a thin Bruce Campbell.

 

[K-Tiger]

I think I'm gonna redo the cocaina and dope using 100 mile-per-hour tape. Electrical didn't work as well as I wanted.

 

[Meddatron]

I am totally stealing the drug bags idea for my Headman custom.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Very Cool! Great job on the shirt!

 

[c_money_collins]

I really like the shirt. The design looks a lot more real than most 1/18th Hawaiian shirts. Those drug bundles are pretty cool too. Do they actually fit in the case? It looks like they do but make the case bulge some. Nice work either way.

 

[K-Tiger]

I can get 3 of them in there, but the case doesn't really want to close. The more the think about it the more I think I want to redo the bundles to fit.

 

[lancelot]

you need to get him a neon pink boat.

[K-Tiger]

Don't think if I could find an '80s 1:18 Scarab or other cigar boat that I wouldn't.

And he's just another reason why I need a 1:18 H-13.

 

[Keenan]

That is really sweet. No critiques.

Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before, my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am
Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

Very clean looking custom. Just beautiful, K-T!

 

[WVMojo]

Looks like Bruce Campbell from Burn Notice -

 

[Monkeywrench]

hell yea it does

 

[K-Tiger]

Dammit, you guys have got me wanting to make a Sam Axe!

 

[xxxx]

superbly slick.....with just the right amount of nostalgia.

 

[Dropshipbob]

And K knocks another one right out of the ball park!

 

[K-Tiger]

*Blushes* I wouldn't go that far.

I think he's on his way. Really need to get the accessories pegged down, but he joins quite the motley band of characters I've got going.

The makings of a hell of a fun dio-story.

 

[K-Tiger]

I'm not very creative in that vein, but if I had a dio set up I'd sho give it the ol' college try.

 

[Dropshipbob]

K, the case that came with Dr. Rex might work better, but you'd have to clear out the cradles for the nanomite canisters.

 

[K-Tiger]

Would that one happen to be the same as the one that came with the Hazard-Viper?

 

[Dropshipbob]

Yes, the very same.

 

[K-Tiger]

I'd probably give it a shot, but the hinge on mine is splitting.
