Here is a custom I just finished for DarrenHowlett

All he gave me was a filename (Lonestar) and a specialty (Infantry).

Here he is
Lonestar:Infantry

Let me know what you think.

What an odd collection of parts! They work though and flow together nicely. They gun is the high point for me. Is it a custom piece? It looks like about three guns mashed together.

He has an interesting space cowboy look to him. He reminds me of something, but I can't think of what it is right now.

Bravestarr maybe? Image

Cool figure. I don't like all the white, but it's in keeping with a parade style cowboy, so it makes sense.

Raspberry. There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry:

LONESTAR!!!!

yes, it's a custom. It has the stock and barrels from a Big Ben rifle, with the revolver and hand grip from a Destro 03 gun. I am very pleased how it turned out.

that's definately my inspiration. The white is a bit much, but I wanted to keep with the hokey cowboy motif.

The boots look a little bulky, but the rest of him looks great.

The gun is a masterpiece though, taking two really crappy overly abundant weapons and fusing them into something really amazing looking. I am going to have to try a take on that.

Yeah, Bravestarr was what he reminded me of. I couldn't think of the name.

I like it a lot. It has a cheesey look to him, but a good cheese. :D As others have mentioned, the gun is the bomb. Great use of parts as usual.

cheese was a big part of this guy. I wanted someone who still worked as a Joe, but had a definate non-military motif (hardball, bazooka, spirit). I had a knockoff gun I was going to use, but it was too big. I'm glad I made the gun, and very happy that it didn't take alot of modding.

for this character, I picture him as a narcissistic hot shot rifleman, who is just as concerned with his looks as he is his military skills.

The figure is cool but the gun is fantastic.

Agree. Figure is great. Sharp colors and unusual - but good parts.

But the gun is a masterpiece.

Matt these turned out incredible. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at them when I picked up Roscoe, who is doing great. They looked great then; but after the final paint apps these guys are freaking awsome.
