This is an obscure Eclipse comic character called Scout. I don't know to much about him other than I think he looked cool in the comics.

What head is that?
Also, I had no clue who he was, so I did a little researching . . .

Good likeness, Joe.

Thanks Brother, I'm pretty happy with the likeness. The only thing I may change is the jacket. It's kinda stiff and knocked off all the accessories I had on it. I will probably go with the shirt and no sleeves look and add back all the gear.
The head is from the new Corps figures I've already used it for three customs. It makes a great Native American.

Definately a cool character and I think you pulled him off nicely.

Thanks TC
I'm really suprised this custom hasen't had more comments. I wonder if i had made it out a 25th would it have got more?

very very nice
a great rendition of on of my favorite comics
I just re-read the series recently.
All he needs now is a G3(?) and a motorcycle.....and some peyote....

Thanks, I'm glad you like him.
What's a G3 and what kind of cycle did he drive?
I never got to read the series. I based the figure off of the covers I found online. Would he be more accurate without the jacket with bare arms?

neat looking figure...that is a great head...I'll have to keep my eye out for him.

What's throwing me off is using real fabric for the loin cloth and then using a plastic jacket. I think he'd look better if you went with either or, not both. some mods to the VvsV Storm Shadow Loin cloth and you'd prolly have a pretty good start...or maybe one from one of the Indiana Jones Natives.

The other option would be to track down one of the black fabric Han solo jackets and use that with your bare arms rework.

Good ideas, I'll have to try them.

A very successful likeness, and one of my favorite Eclipse characters. Been a serious fan of Tim Truman's Scout: War Shaman series and I even made one nearly all LBC, using the Locust Copter reissue Wild Bill's body with the I.A.F Spirit Head. Also used the Slaughter's Marauder's apron to pull off the rest.

This version screams. I love it.

I was tempted to make Usen, his spirit guide, and his sons with those Chap Mei kids with the cap.

Lets see it.
I'd love to get my hands on the series to even know what your talking about. Usen?
Seriously lets see your version.
