Nice. It's pretty accurate too, great choice for a head. I think you should have unusable fists like in your pic though. :shifty:

Looks pretty cool there Pros. Now you need to make one to keep in your pocket to give to any kids riding in the ambulance to help calm them down while going to the hospital. ;)

Paint looks good and the details are right. Like people said I think you could find better arms.

I'm confused as to why you saw a need to extend the torso. I think you've made it look WAY too long and it really ruins the custom...the problem is even more obvious in the picture of the figure's back.

I'm guessing you were trying to match the position of your Elbows and where the hands fall on the thighs of the figure with your self...and the easies place to fix that is the torso. The problem is when you extend the torso you throw all the other parts out of proportion.

I'm not sure if there's an easy fix...It seems you've got the upper body in proportion with itself and with yourself...the problem is when you take the legs in the same scale as the upper body they're just too short.

So when you Expand the scale of the legs to match yourself, the Torso gets extended way out of whack, as do the arms.

maybe with the Right set of arms you would be able to eliminate the akwarness of having to use a torso that's extended as much as you've done on this one.
