Okay, okay, I know I promised a walk through, but I ended up gutting that figure to create a much more accurate version, one that gives Bludd his due.

That's a well-polished turd, right there

Brilliant use of the HISS torso - I am going to go back and fix mine now with that same idea. Love how you mitigated the problem of the dog tags riding up on his neck.

Of course your repaint of the head makes it worlds better - and the sculpted hair is perfect.

The only thing I'm not too keen on are the arms - because they're a tad skinny for my tastes. But that's Hasbro's problem, not yours - you did a fantastic job giving the armored arm articulation. Parts choices were perfect all the way around as far as I'm concerned.

Consider this one stolen -- amazing job!

No way that's a custom, you had to of snuck into Hasbro's lab and it acidentally fell into your pocket. That's got to be it right? Man your skill level just quadrupled. Thats one seriuos custom. Great job.

Man, I wish I had access to Hasbro's lab, that way I wouldn't have to pay for custom fodder.

What color & brand brown paint did you use?

The paint is Testor Model Masters Acryl Leather.

I may weep.

Now I know what I'm doing with that extra Hi.S.S. Driver I found.

Think I might go with the Red Star legs, though.

Great work.

Red Star's might be easier, I had to mod the CG legs to fit Duke's knees.

That's what I was thinking with mine as well, using the Red Star legs.

I like what you did here. Too bad I don't have a HISS Driver torso or I'd copy this exactly.

While I think the helmet rides a bit high on Bluddy's head; this is pretty much exactly what we should all be getting from Hasbro - and they know it.

Nicely done, IW; too bad you had to do it at all.
