Bub : Day of the Dead

[xipotec]

This will be my first attempt at a custom figure. I am beginning by using available parts and modding them, not quite ready for a full sculpt. i have been an avid figure collector since childhood, and a serious modeler for just about as long.

I will be posting my work as it goes , for advice and criticisms (and perhaps some praise") but mostly for help and encouragement. I have all the basic parts and will start showing the mod process in pictures soon.

Keep checking back for updates......
