Hi guys, wanted to post this separate from my Bolo custom... to be honest i dont think i am even in the same universe with this elmer as wars is..he set the bar on a uncle Elmer custom very high with his amazing ability with sculpy and frankly just a amazing mind for customs...
my first attempt to be honest i hated. didnt try to do a elmer again till recently. and while it isnt any where near as great as what i consider warsmen's to be i will say that for a guy like me who docent use one bit of sculpey that i am much more pleased with my 2nd attempt. but you folks be the judge ( please note the lighting on the 2nd one wasn't very good and sort of made his skin look the same shade as his shirt.) i added a hat from the jakks paulie figure,not sure why but i like how it looks on my elmer.
Thanks Big John for the tip on how to do denim
thanks for looking

The hat was sculpted with aves apoxie sculpt. I seen one on here that gave me the desire to make my own. It was a few years ago and I don't remember if the one that inspired me was the Earthquake head or not, for some reason I think the one I seen was a bundy head but my memory is kinda blank but I do remember it had a big ol bucket of chicken or pigs feet or something that came with it. I probably have it archived on one of my discs so If I ever do a Mattel one I may pull it out for reference...
