new custom base
 
Last edited:
I'm glad to finally post this guy after some months. He was done a few months ago but the contest was going on and a spectacular RB was posted at that time for the contest by SF. So I waited and added a few things. I jumped on the base when I was a little short on cash and the one I originally wanted wasn't in my budget at that point. But I couldn't wait and at $10 shipped why. This is what he was and is !00%.

Now





I had to reposition some fingers on the right hand to hold a weapon. Let me know what you think of the transformation.
 
Damn, that's a hawt 'wrench sculpt!


HA! Nice repurposing of a 'taker sculpt, looks damn good.
 
Thanks for the compliments guys! I got his main man and partner in crime Duke coming up next.
 
Sorry for the delayed reply...life called. Mass, you did a great job on RB! I'm very impressed by the work on the head sculpt! Did you make the pants from scratch? What tanktop did you modify? I just would like to know more about your custom...

Thanks. The pants were in my fodder. I can't remember what type of figure had pants big enough to fit over those legs without any sanding. I just faded and died them. The top is a Magic Cube sometimes listed as a vest instead of tanktop on ebay. They stretch pretty good like on my Slaughter torsos. I just removed Undertakers hair and filled in the gaps with apoxie sculpt.
 
Let me say this. I don't like Duke! I wish he had died from Serpentor's snake. But Hasbro felt they made a mistake after the reaction from Optimus' death and they had to bring him back. No comparison between the two for me. He's more like Rodimus to me. If had been Hawk then we would have had a problem. Anyway I always liked his look.plus no Joe collection is complete without him. He'll just never be standing next to my Scarlett when she's done. That's Snake Eyes' woman.
This one is made the 12 inch 25th anniversary line's Duke with modified torso and some new accessories. The binoculars, helmet and pants are original. Everything else is either new or bashed by me. Plus his head and arms got a repaint. I found him by chance while looking for a good sculpt for him and never knew Hasbro had made one for him that wasn't cartoony. This one really is Duke. Let me know what you guys think.
