    Doing much research. Taking lots of measurements. Referencing hundreds of photos. Consulting, making recommendations, suggesting improvements, problem-solving. Producing text print files. Nearly done. ...it's happening.

    MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Customs

    After Jon fixed the hydrant wrench handle to be accurate, I told him the knife had some minor issues with accuracy too- so he fixed them and sent me updated photos. The curved blade on the left isn't supposed to be a flat blade, but a round pointed 'marlin spike', which is used by sailors to...

    I'll never figure out what this is supposed to be... Maybe it's just a little flap of leather they put under the strap to prevent the buckle from rubbing against his leg or something...

    Nooooo- I'm not talking about what's hanging from the end of the wrench. I'm talking about the leather strap between his legs. The small curved piece of leather hanging below the strap buckle. (right inside leg)

    Jon and Dave ARE in the Philippines, and they sell on eBay too. It's the same set, not two different ones. Speaking of which- I noticed a minor mistake in the fire hydrant wrench. I pointed it out to Dave, and Jon fixed it for free. Great service! No doubt he'll change them all now to be...

    Part of me wants to bow in reverence to the HAL 9000 sitting on its own stand with a nameplate, and part of me is amused. It is kind of funny...

    I've seen this set on eBay for $1,499... but I got a better price.

    Hey, it's out of mine too- except for the very flexible installment plan. At the start of September, it will be 9 payments I made in all. And, i got a reduced overall price, too. ...but my Max will have some accessories that Jon didn't think of: Red & black bolt cutters, an elbow crutch, and a...

    Finally! I cleared my browser cashe and cookies, and it's working again. (I think) Gruff Old Bear, pm sent. I'm truly excited. In two weeks, I'll make my final payment to Jon De Guzman, and he'll ship me his hand-made metal Road Warrior accessory set. I never could have come even close to this...

    Shoulder guards are ready to go.

    I would like to have both versions. In the film, Gibson doesn't show much emotion- if any. Even when he's womping the bag guy over the head with bolt cutters, Max has a blank expression. The FromRussiaWithLove sculpt is good for that. Beastmaster's sculpt, aside from being more lifelike, shows a...

    Thanks for showing me the Beastmaster version. Amazing work. Looking a bit older doesn't bother me, because that could be down-played in the paint job. I want one...

    Do you have a link to photos of it?

    Wor-Gar, go for it. I bought the unpainted head for $85, and it's worth it. I don't see another better one coming any time soon.

    MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Customs

    Thanks guys. I'm sure it's the best Max sculpt ever done, and I'm really happy with it. The only thing that bothers me a little bit is the tiny 'peaks' on the hair. I mean, I know it was designed using 3D modeling software; it's obvious that the designer copied the same technique over and over...

    Thank you, cpoll36. I though it would be a good idea to show what the pad & guard look like on the figure. In case anyone is interested in picking these items up, you'll know how it fits. I gave the pad a very light dry-brushed dust/weathering job, and naturally my crappy phone camera makes...

    Hey, that's great- and thanks again for your high-quality boots. I've seen some very good Max customs, but they all seem to have one thing in common: The shoulder pads are much too thick and puffy. The one in the film is pretty thin; not much protection. With that in mind, I made my own custom...

    MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Customs

    That's good to hear, and thank you. I hope you decide to make one! I thought I was done, but I saw some places where I could make it a lot more accurate in some of the contours and slopes, so I washed off the paint and I made some improvements and corrections. THIS is the final version that...
