Frank west is a photojournalist drawn to war and violence. He's made a good living off capturing the horrors of war and selling his stills to the highest bidder. Frank's even had to be rescued from Cobra Island, by the Joes, while trying to get a picture of an unmasked Cobra Commander. Frank is well versed in small arms, and has a knack of making any item into a weapon.

(Frank is also the protagonist in the game Dead Rising)

Note: in these pics, Franks face appears much rougher where I sanded it. In person it doesn't show up as badly.

Here's Frank from the game

I don't know this character, but I like this figure a lot. Maybe create a variant with blood spattered shirt and a baseball bat too? Could be done by just having a changeable torso or something

That looks great. I like the "action" shots a lot too.

I don't about that head. Not just the "scarring" but the fact the reference photos have a more serious face, a rounder head, and shorter hair. Off the top of my head I'm thinking Rollbar might work better for you. DTC Barrel Roll might be another good choice.

I like the figure, but the head is off. A JvC Barrel Roll or one of the BBI soldier might work.

Actually I had wanted to use Blackout's head for him, but couldn't find one. And I had SO many of those Barrage heads around. I'm not stuck on keeping the Barrage head either, so I'll look into the suggestions. Thanks.

Cooolnesss. Frank West.

I'm officially jealous ;-)

I'll be the minority and say I like this head. It's different enough to work for me.

GREAT!!!!

I was JUST thinking about what a Frank custom would look like.

This outstrips my thoughts.

Looks killer John! I'm honestly surprised no one's done this before. Damn, they need to release Dead Rising for Playstation! :-x

Great job. All he needs is a gun shop display and a servbot head.

I think I like the head you used. The roughness gives him some more character.
