Ok I must admit I was inspired by a previous thread to make this Ironblood/Muton custom.

So thanks to Paul, Muton, the Black major and Scoobydie for the ideas !!!

Andy,

That's exactly as I pictured it when I posted in the other thread. Absolutely amazing work. Really do wish I had the ability to do something like that. Brilliant!!!

[The Baron]

Haha nice. Just to be a total nerd, maybe you could shorten the pegs a tad?

[The Black Major]

But then how would we know which one's the Baron?!

[The Baron]

I think you may have missed the whole "disguise" concept...

[scoobydie]

Freakin brilliant!!
I love it
Now we have a good use for the 100,000,000,000 odd mutons flying about.

[Muton]

Wow! that's fast work! Great stuff!
Neat job on cutting the helmet too.

Totally wicked Andy1672!!!

Really works very well!

How did you cut the head part off? Did you just saw and dremel smooth?

Did you use two Mutons, one for the body and one for the head?

Totally love it and shall put it on my 'to-do' list as I have to have one.

I had to use 2 figures for this, 1 Muton and 1 deep sea diver. (helmet)

I split Muton at the crotch and removed his limbs and eye stalk, fortunatly the internal bodypegs that hold the 2 body shells together didnt break so I coulp clip them back together properly.

I used a small circular saw blade in my dremmel and removed the top part of his helmet and the sanded it back so it was flat (to the first rim)

I already had a deep sea diver in bits so again I used the circular dremmel saw to cut below the rim line of the helmet.

This left me with 2 helmet halves which were difficult to work with so I had to cut the eye stalk into 3 pieces and glue them into the holes to hold it all together, then i could sand the bottom back to the same rim line.

after painting and glueing I was a bit cautious about pushing the accessories onto the pegs too tight, thats why (as the baron noticed) they appear to be too long.

overall this took about 2 hours, which wasnt as bad as I expected. Thank god for the dremmel !!!!

Ah I see, did you manage to salvage the front eyepiece? Would it be possible to make it removable, maybe with a hole in the centre? That really is a nice job, and makes me wonder if the Muton isn't a robot but a battlesuit instead... (give it two minutes before TKW explodes).
