Wow Ichy..some great figures! Mind overload in one sitting for me though...it's going to be fun for me to go back and see what you have done with each. I particularly like what you did with Duke and Steve McQueen...!

WOW, I am really loving your version of JW right there Geronimo. I think you did a fantastic job on him & I love the new pics. He is the definition of tough & my all time favorite actor in Hollywood. I think that will be a perfect addition to your collection to represent the Duke. I would love to see your version of Sgt. Stryker one of these days too.

Hey DA,

The Sands of Iwo Jima is one of my favorite all time movies! Sgt. Stryker is, I feel, a great roll model for what that generation of Americans fought for. John Wayne did a great job in that role. I have the Sideshow Styker but haven't done any modifications...I may do a dio of him down the road. I also thought Duke was good in a little thought of movie, Three Godfathers...

Do you have a Sgt. Stryker figure?

I have all of the SS John Wayne figures and love them. Here is my SGT. Stryker with the BBI Red Parker in the SS clothes and gear. I love this one. I also agree with all statements in regards to Sands & the Duke's performance. One of my all time favorites as well.

I really like the western idea too. Very creative and I would actually love to see a movie made with Jackson & Travolta as cowboys in the old west.

Wow, what a fun thread. Not sure how I missed this before.
What wonderful gallery of tough guys, I hope you don't mind if I had a few of wine.

I'll start with Burt Lancaster in Castle Keep.

Hey Itchy...I'd love to see some more Burt Lancaster when you get a chance...do you have any close ups of his face? That's a Peter sculpt right? Lancaster's early movie, Brute Force, would make for a good dio. You did a great job on him!

Thank you
I don't have the figure set up at the moment, I used all the parts for something else. I will need to dig out the sculpt and get some good close ups for you.

In the mean time here's a the best I have.
I like to think my painting skills have improved a little since I did this one

Awesome work Joel. This is about as tough as they come. Excellent work on the HS and clothing.

Thank you so much! I am very glad you both like it! All parts are either custom made or re-worked in some way! Just a classic film! In one of the greatest Movie roles of all time! I'm liking how it looks!

Re: Classic "Tough Guys" thread - Bogart, Cagney,Weissmuller (Tarzan), Cooper & other

Hey DA,

Wait till you see what Joel is doing with the Dio that Clint will be in...I got a sneak peak on another thread...all I'll say is "Hang em High"!

Re: Classic "Tough Guys" thread - Bogart, Cagney,Weissmuller (Tarzan), Cooper & other

This one Geronimo? Not really anything new but I thought I would show of them in display! Clint Eastwood with the diorama. The two James Dean's, Giant version is having some new clothing so is currently dismantled.

A overall look at my Detolf. Top shelf is the Inglorious Basterds shelf. The second shelf includes Jack Nicholson 89 Joker, Brad Pitt Fight Club and Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Third shelf is James Dean, Giant to go back in there with the other two and hopefully a East Of Eden and the last shelf is The Shining Jack Nicholson.

All figures are customs or have at least been modded or customized.

WOW, just fantastic work by everyone in this thread. I must say that this is one of my favorite on Sideshow Freaks. The content and custom work is top notch and the subject matter is right up my alley. Also, for Geronimo, I posted my Sgt. Stryker John Wayne a page back.
