After my previous collab BB with MSWI falling to the floor and doing damage to the sculpt work, I had started on a new version of the big guy. I knew what I wanted but until recently, wasn't sure enough about my skills with combining one figure's pelvis with another's torso. But with some practice, and with an Ares at my disposal, I attached the lower portion of Ares to the Herc lower torso. (which lengthened the torso a little and makes him look a bit better proportioned) I still have to get some apoxy to do some filling, some touch up paint, and figure out what I'm doing with the lower legs, but thus far it works how I want it.

Coming along, just needs a few more pieces to finish it off, and a small amount of detail and touchup paint. I strung some thread between an extra set of the BB gloves so they can hang around his neck thusly:

Unless you're gonna paint him day-glo pink and green like it's 1990 I don't see how you fuck it up. :D

Nah, but I got a special photo shoot planned. MSWI is going to put together another Balboa custom and send it to me for pics and I'm gonna pit them against one another Rocky v Drago style, and we'll just see who would actually win. :D

Huh, I thought the full-length pants looked better.

Simply amazing. Inspired work, I love it

Thanks!

I think they did too. I'm considering dying these black to match the uppers, but the other ones were blue and didn't match. However, it also helps break up the all black that would just run down into the boots, if I keep the flesh colored lowers.
