hello to you all , i dare introduce myself with a work in progress .
First thing : im French ( nobody's perfect ) so please forgive me for an writing error ..I do not use any auto translator ..
Ok , i will be short and won't write all my life ;-)
been involved in anything about hobby painting since years , military / cars / bikes / figures etc..
About action figures good ol' Mac farlane's came first here . Making Diorama with them was the beginning ,
Seeking for my last Dio for info for my Neca Dutch from Predator i stumbled on this forum , i saw so much talents , spend hours looking your
work you all , well gave me the virus to " jump into the hole "
But how , what with ? so much questions ..
So i thought about a fig. i don't have from a Cult universe / CONAN
Took my early years from 80´s MotuC figure and began to try my best .
Today i dare to show you my work , ( not finished ) .
some of you may think i took a stange way for this fig . I know the movie by heart / took lotta screenshots : in Conan the first , Shwartzy wears pants / helmet just for the battle of the Mounts sequence , this explains
" my look "
Anyway i know i' m a bit long , Any advice , Critics are over welcome
many thanks for reading , i' ve introduced myself so it will be shorter
next time ) https://photos.app.goo.gl/wLaDWvxZacMdxtAb7

very cool! welcome to the best joe custom forum :)

looks like your figure is in a larger scale, is he 5" or so? very motu indeed. I like what you've done with the hair and skins(pants). what really stands out is the necklace and that sword in the background are they custom made?

many thanks to you , yes i know its a bit larger ( motu) , joes are somehow hard to find here , i' ll go to toys r' us to try to grab one for the next project .
For the necklace and the sword it',s all custom , with the real materials , very thin leather , steel cut for the sword ( not the handle ) , i want the sword as detailed as possible .
Again many thanks for your comment ..
