Oh My Gawd!!! The bat is still one of my favorite figs! This looks awesome. When can we buy an army's worth off of you? and are you going to make an interchangeable weapon system for it???

i would love to make the weapons interchangable.. but it may be more trouble than its worth.. i MAY end up trying it .. if i make an other one.
BUT the prob is making the weapons.. cause i would want to make updated versions of the stuff he had... and well its hard to sculp really nice things with the putty i use.. so i dunno.. it may happen if i get an other sigma strike duke...

His original stuff wasn't that complicated. Honestly other then sculpting the plug to connect to the wrist you could probably craft the weapons out of styrene or other found objects then paint them and attach the wrist connector.

Oh, and how much was Strike Duke, I might have to pick one up for this?

at the moment. 17.99 at target.. all sigma 6 stuff there is on sale till saturday. regularly 19.99

yes the original stuff is simple... BUT i dont have styrene and try messing around with plumbers putty.. it dries rock hard in roughly 4-5 minutes. im gettin better with it.. BUT its still a pain in the ass to mold with..

Well if no Styrene you should be able to find to it with found plastic. DVD cases work wonderfully in a pinch. And yeah I know how hard plumber putty can be. I used that for some things before I was able to find Green Stuff. Green Stuff is pricy, but worth it in my mind.
