Title: Two Bit Pulp Hero
Post by: Ironworker on May 19, 2008, 09:07:36 AM: Just wanted to show off my weekend project. I picked up this figure for $0.25 at the local game shop swaped his head, removed his chest symbol, and painted him up all in about 4 hours time.

He may not be the most beautiful figure but he'll make a nice tabletop figure. I've got a little more about him in my blog.

Good stuff,

Then again if there were even more minis available, I'd have to starve...

I don't know. I think the head you chose is quite a bit more pulpy than mine. What head is that? I think I'd like to use it for my other body if I can find it. Nice job!

Black Canary I think. A little tough to come by. I'm waiting till I get another till I repaint one as a Mol.

This is actually one of the Cukoos from various X-Men comics.
