I had an account here a few years ago, I've since forgotten all the details. However, I posted a custom Diesel and it was half finished. I chose a Razor Ramon torso on Bossman (#2) legs. The parts didn't fit and I wasnt interested in sculpting anything. The hair was too light and the skin tone was too pale. Well, i moved and he was thrown in a box with all the other figures i had. Fast forward to a few weeks ago I found my old Diesel in 2 bits and he was battered to hell. I tidied him up and made his torso fit his legs with a bit of sculpey. I've also given him some tassels and optional shades. I wanted an early '94 Diesel, when he hadn't got a logo yet. Also, he's wearing his leather vest in line with a lot of Hasbros coming with their entrance gear on. Other than some awful slap-dash stuff I did when I was a kid, it's probably my only serious custom. I just didn't think the Hasbro line was complete until it had a Diesel, so thank god for that Mannix head.   |

Those are great part selections For the figure, I had'nt considered the Razor torso for Diesel - but seeing all the parts together, its a natural choice. A-HA!  |

Really nice work! Do the bossman legs fit on the torso or is there an overlap at the back?

 None other than The Shockmaster! EDIT: A little bit of detail. Typhoon head, obviously. Bossman #1 body, sanded his shirt off and added some moobs and a bit more gut. Bit of felt for the jacket. The helmet was headache. I asked ages ago what would be the best thing to do for the helmet and you guys recommended a Stormtrooper Pez dispenser. Well, for that, I hate you all because i had to sand that down for days for it to fit Uncle Fred's big old head. |

Awesome customs! Is this what Alan had hidden in his drawer at the travel tavern?

 Had another Mannix head so thought I'd make a Diesel circa WMXI-ish. |

 Thought Adam Bomb should've got a more imposing figure. |

All right, I wasn't a big Hasbro fan, but if they'd looked like you're makin' 'em, I'd have had to buy these guys. Vader looks like a boss! And Cactus Jack with that Bat is just phenomenal. And I laughed when I saw Shockmaster up there, taking his famous spill on the way out to the stage. Just top flight, keep up the good work!
