Excellent! I don't read the comics, so I'm not sure if the "Free Shrugs" is part of his comic design or not, but I love it. Regardless, excellent job on making it vintage looking.

I really dig your Chuckles design. I got it from Shapeways last week, and it was the best one out of the batch that I ordered. No sanding or touch-up required. It looked like a cast head sculpt.

Again, great job!

Wow, great take on this one. Did you make the shirt part?:thumbsup:

I used my skin camo tutorial and instead of matte medium, I mixed my base color with the medium and layered over the laser print until I couldn't see the print under it anymore.

Then it's simply just cutting out the shapes, removing the paper and then gluing together.

I don't know if people can tell, but I have a homemade shoulder holster underneath the shirt.

I was wondering how you got the shirt that thin.

I can see the holster now that you pointed it out. Very cool.

"Free Shrugs" isn't apart of the comic design. From what I can remember, the original design uses a blue box cut shirt with a dark T under it. I wanted to give him a less noticeable button shirt but to bring something in design wise that is "Chuckles". "Free Shrugs" just felt like his attitude from the comic.

Awesome work Giga! I never really cared for Chuckles until the Cobra Comic's and now I'm a big fan. I want this figure!
