Finally submitting my first custom to the realm! Thanks to Optimus Primer for the contest that forced me to take the time to turn an idea into a figure of one of my favourite turtle villains. The Baxter stockman robot suit offered a decent base for the creep, piled on loads of apoxie sculpt, and painted him up. Put a bit too much sculpt on his left arm, so lost the shoulder rotation, but managed to keep some more movement in the right. One day I'll be able to sculpt better trousers and keep leg movement, but pretty happy with the look of the jeans. Took a while to find paint I was happy with, various different coats and washes, eventually found some iridescent paint to add the glow. Loads of fun to make this guy, especially as my infinitely more talented wife was making her entry for the contest at the same time - second best couples' hobby!
Hehe, might have finished bottom, but it was a heck of pile of entries! Thanks for the kind words, and the welcome, a few more customs on the way when time finally permits.
