Your Dr. McNinja custom is great, as with your other customs. In fact it was you who got me into Dr. McNinja and Watchmen.

That's awesome Bob. Congrats.

Well, that's a hell of a compliment! Thanks a lot, J!

No problem, dude.

As you might already read in my interview(!!!) at Luke's Factory, after a long pause, I came up with a new custom:

Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter

It's the first time a designed a face-decal of a real human, not a comic related one. That's a lot tougher, but I'm pretty satisfied with how he turned out. I got the idea the second I received Penguins top-hat, but it took a while to find the time to do the decal. I'm not completely pleased with the used coat, since I wanted a shorter one. I did cut off a little bit of a different coat, but it didn't work out as good as I wanted. Anyway, after designing him, I came up with the idea of equipping him with that iconic axe and letting him hunt down some mean vampires. Fun thing is, I connetcted that thought with something else I was looking forward to do, so I created a whole new... You have to wait for Custom Con to see it.

The used parts are pretty easy to identify for you, aren't they? I already mentioned Penguin's top hat, the axe from the T2 4-pack and the coat belongs to the Spirit. Face and chest are decals. His hair is from Classic or Golden Age Iron Man.

Yes there is, but I must confess that I haven't really read it either. I read about it and saw that video I linked in my post and thought it would be a really cool idea for a mate.

Phenomenal.

You alreday met them, but I'd like to introduce them once more one at a time. Here are the Furyous Basterds, my entry for Custom Con 26:

After Noir, Zombies and 1602, Marvel talks steampunk in its newest limited series! Telling the story of a secret guerrilla squad in the 19th century, Marvel is once more re-imagining some of our all time favorite heroes, fighting vampires under Lincoln's command. Now we are proud to present the 2“ versions of the series' inglourious characters. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you

They aren't extraordinary gentlemen and you won't feel pleased to meet 'em,
for they're the Furyous Basterds, Lincoln's finest.

First up is the Basterds' mastermind, Nicolas Fury. Here's the official charater bio:
'My name is Nicholas Joseph Fury, born in that part of Manhattan the Times nowadays calls „Hell's Kitchen“. First time I appeared before the public was also the last: On April 15th, 1865, I saved Abraham Lincoln from being assassinated by a guy called John Wilkes Booth, a bloody vampire, pun intended, but I'm not kidding about blood suckers walking in our country. I was trying to hunt down that fellow for quite a while and when I had a talk with Mr. President afterwards, he got me a job. Only a few people were sitting together on that evening when the old man made his decision: Under no circumstances should it be made public, that the Dreadful were released from hell, since this great country of ours is already standing on the edge to chaos. I was asked to form a small but effective group of men, being able to hunt down those vampires. No pride. No prejudice. No zombies. Low profile. He provides what ever I need and doesn't ask questions. Neither do I. We don't exist, but what exists is a rumor and a name. Furyous Basterds. If that helps us spreading fear amongst those nasty blood suckers, I'm happy to be called like that. Some say God turned his back on us when the vampires first approached. I don't need any Gods or whatever you believe in. We are not fighting for a greater Good, we are fighting against a greater Evil, and I know what it looks like. If we're successful, no history book will ever talk about us. If we don't, people will say, Nick Fury was right.'

I imagined him just as the cool mastermind he usually is, the kind of guy who doesn't talk much, but always has a plan. Even if you think it fails, you just didn't get it yet. And I thought it would be cool to give him the watch, the umbrella and the bag as accessories.That's all he ever shows up with and all he needs to fight vampires. Maybe the umbrella is some kind of a weapon Stark did build for him. And you just don't want to know what he's carrying around in that bag...

The recipe: I used my Nick Fury decal for his face. The hair belongs to movie Sabertooth, the umbrella belongs to Penguin, the chest (The Man in Black), watch and bag are from the Few Dollars More Set, the pants are from Pepper Potts, the rolled up sleeves came with Chef Duff and those sleeve-things on his arms - I have no idea what those are called in English - are Ares' bracelets.

Love that photo shot. How did you do that? Photoshop?

[Bob Harris]

Jap, that's photoshop. I wanted to give each character an "apropriate", little stylish, little fancy shot. Glad you like it.

[mini nugget]

Awesome, cant wait to see the rest of the team, and hopefully more after that?

[Shamrock]

This whole lineup was just great! And Lincoln was just the icing on the cake.
