SO: this is a figure that has been taking up all my creative time for the last two weeks. It's a mini-me entry in a contest over at Fantasy Net. The headsculpt is the first I've done of myself, and the first sculpting I've done in about 6 years. I designed and constructed the leather vest and baldric, and modified all his other clothing and gear. Hope you like. Oh, and the reference pic of the 1/1 me is from a play. That's not an experssion I normally walk around with...;)

I'm on dial up, so I didn't wait for all the pics to appear, and never got to compare your sculpt with your pic. I have to agree with what has been said, and the detail is excellent. The vest and shirt really make the whole figure stand out.

Thanks you guys! Creech, sorry about the wait for the pics; trust me, though, the sculpt is so close to what I actually look like that sometimes it gives ME the creeps!

What a teaser. I'll take your word for it, for now. I'll take the time to download the rest of your pics on the weekend. Anyway great job on the custom, it looks fab.

Too cool, Phantom, too cool. You know, you do look similar to that custom, what a coincidence. :lol

That is totally awesome! Good job! Of the items you didn't construct yourself, from what source did you buy/obtain them?

Again, fantastic sculpt and costuming! :google :D

Hey, thanks, Migwit! Almost all the pieces I didn't make were bought from:

shopping.netsuite.com/opstoys (http://shopping.netsuite.com/opstoys)

and consist of modified pieces from Sideshow figures, Dragon figures, and even one piece from a Hasbro figure. Check out the website; I think you'll find everything you need for a custom figure.
