I wasn't sure where to put this because I didn't want to crowd Hemble's latest creation, but I've been trying to build up a GERMAN MECHANIC for quite sometime so I figured maybe others are too.
I built one about 10 years ago but it isn't up to speed with the new 1/6 figures. The big problem is: the body -- bare-chested and not necessarily a "pumping iron" type body is impossible to find. There are some good customs here using "wrestler" body types so I went looking and stumbled on an old Bill Goldberg body. Limited articulation but the body looks a little more like the Mechanic, a little.
He's even got the bald head and that cletched-teeth 'come-on' expression.
I would just use the upper half of the body, attach to a more articulated hips/legs. I'd also have to replace the hands and do some light sanding and repainting but I think the top half of this might just work.
Whether you like this prospect or not, I do hope some of you will post your custom MECHANICs here!
