Don't know if it's because I'm out of practice, but this was really challenging to put together. Bunch of parts broke on me, parts I thought would work ended up not working, lots of dremelling and other modification had to be done for it to all fit together, but here he is, Remy Etienne LeBeau.

I used Punisher as the base because I liked the armoured torso and thought it could work for a slightly more real-world look for Gambit. I originally started out using the original arms from the Punisher figure, but one of the shoulder joints broke at the joint where the upper arm connects to the shoulder. I found an Old Man Logan, cracked open the figure [it was a surprisingly clean crack (phrasing!)] and then modified the torso to plug the arms in. Then, on the left arm, the elbow joint broke, so I changed out both elbow joints for those from a Red Skull. The lower legs are modified from a Space Iron Man, and I modified the feet so they're less broad in front. Took the hands from Daredevil, from the same wave as Punisher.

It was a long search for the right head - I ended up using a head from a knockoff DCEU Superman which I had earlier modified into an unmasked head for Bruce Wayne. Resculpted the hair and the headpiece. Repainted the whole head. Sculpted on the upper cuirass, with the criss-cross pattern. Printed out the playing cards and used tape painted over with clear red paint for the energy effect. The bo is a cocktail straw with both ends sculpted close. Thanks for looking and I hope this ended up working in the end!

I've had that before. Used to get moments where I would forget what works with what. Now I just have days of horrible luck. The worst is having a peg snap right as you're putting on the final touches. The final product looks awesome though! He came out great!

Thanks for commenting! Yeah, sometimes everything goes wrong, and the peg for this did indeed break while I was already photographing it, which made me go back and completely change the arms.
