I am glad you guys like him. To tell you the truth I am not sure who the head and the hat are from, I wish I did. They came from a junk lot of figures/accessories I got off ebay. The two hats pictured where originally reddish color that I painted green. I have two more somewhere around here that have not been painted if I find them I will post pictures for a reference. I was hoping I could find out on the Board who made these items. This guy is a copy of a custom figure that I bought my brother. I liked him so much I made a less then carbon copy; the original was far beyond my capabilities! I will get pictures from my brother for comparisons.
Digger, the jacket collar is made of sponge like material from an exercise mat. lol
Medumn, I believe what you see is a whistle connected to the zipper of his coat. I made the whistle and the eagle on the hat out of tinfoil, glue and hobby knife.
RED, He kind of do look like a young version of the “Great One” He looks kind of like that the CPL with the removable helmet that was one of the early 21C figures.
I have two more hats somewhere in my hobby room and was thinking of making reproductions with resin. I have never done the parts reproduction, is it that difficult. Also is there a material that would be better suited then resin to make copies with?
