Military Police Hummer

[Red Baron]

It feels like a lifetime since I've had the chance to finish a custom and take some pictures, but here it is. I grabbed the chance to take a few pictures before the sun went this evening. Just a simple re-spray of a World Peacekeepers hummer, to go with my MP figures.

The next customs have been started, but who knows when they'll be finished!

Pure class, I wish I had your talent to create these master pieces.

[Quickfire]

And that custom alone is

[Chopper]

Agreed. Absolute cracker, mate.

[Thundershot]

Pure quality

Brilliant. How did you do the bent legs on the fella in the back of the wagon?

Thanks guys. It's certainly nice to finally finish and photograph a custom.

The bent legs were fairly easy - I cut suitable wedges out the front / back and then bent them into position. Glueing the joint at the rear didn't work as I recall (I started that back in summer last year as my plan was to use another bent leg figure to sit on the outside of my flail tank - the passage of time has meant my memory is a bit faded), but in any case I filled the gap at the front of the knee with miliput and then sanded etc to get the right sort of look.

Brilliant piece of work

Fantastic! I know I shouldn't say this but if that beauty is ever submitted for custom of the month, you have my vote in the bag sir!!! (Apologies to other customizers fellas, there's always a pretty good scrap for the custom competition, but you know what I mean!!)

If you cut a wedge with the widest point at the back, splitting at the kneecap, you could drill a hole in either side and pin it together before gluing. Though you'd probably stil need some miliput to smooth the join and possibly add some fabric folds. It's a brilliant custom, very smooth and seamless.
