I got the base figure that I used because I knew I was going to add alot of sculpt work to it and it was going to go with my new 52 villains and the DC direct line never really blows you away with it articultion count anyways so I thought this figure would work.When I ordered it the discription was that the figure measured 8 inchs but when it arrived it was really only around 7 inchs or so tall.I had to then begin this custom by adding height which I did by cutting the legs at the shins and using some metal wire as a spacer reattch the feet to the legs adding about an inch of height,then I filled in the gap with aves sculpt.After that it was just a boat load of sculpting the shirt,shoes,jacket and the sleeves on the arms.Then I had some fun with the paint job lots of dry brushing and other things to give him a very weathered and beaten look.I was really happy with the way it all ended up turning out.He fits in with my new 52 injustice league perfectly.Thanks for looking.
