I don't know if its the body or the face sculpt but something is off. Now the accessories esp the saddle and the chaps look real good.

The accessories look amazing. I wish his hat wasn't crooked. I think that's what's making him look a little off.

Face looks like Redford. The only thing that could stand improvement is the shirt. Cloth is too heavy or the cut too bulky. Further distressing might help, but the way the sleeves hang is what's throwing it off.

Otherwise, the costuming is near PF quality.

The other thing that may be throwing people off is the real-hair mustache. I like it, but it may say "doll" to some people.

Actually, the moustache looks fine. It think its the hair that is throwing it off. Looks too frizzy and not to scale. Perhaps a little mousse to straighten it out would help?... ;)

But seriously, Private Mac LEOD's customs are second to none. He's one of the top 3 customizers out there. I eagerly look forward to his next projects.

Well I dont know to me at first glance something was off the leather stuff esp the saddle is top notch. But I think the figure itself something is off, I think it might be the midriff is to small and for me that is throwing him off.

Beautiful work. I'd like to see more Western stuff from SSC. Oh well.

The title is quite apt. The obvious hat angle is niggling, but with that swag of gear he is carrying, it might be his hands are full. The shirt doesn't look very tailored, and underneath, his chest might be too far forward, as his suspenders seem to angle inwards where they are connected to his strides. The camera angle, from the knees, might also be partially to blame, just for being a bad angle. All nits that have no bearing on the wonderful figure it is.

Thanks for posting the pic here Doomsta.

It looks amazing! It looks like he even made the boots. I wish sideshow would make some cattlemen with real leather equipment and possibly leather saddle. They're getting into the leather goods now with Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, so maybe it's a possibility?
I think that something making it look off is the hair. If you cover the hair up on your screen it looks so much better.
