Here is my latest custom/kitbash, yet another Horror movie character: Rusty Nail.
I had previously made this character a few months back, based off the 2008 "Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead" Rusty Nail.
This is the Rusty Nail based off the newly released Joy Ride 3, where he is portrayed by yet another actor (again!) and has a different look to him.
I decided to go with this character because I already had most of the parts/clothing lying around. All I needed was the headsculpt, shoes and a white under shirt. Pretty simple again, but that's how I like them :)
Plus I think my shelf needs some more color- there are a lot of khaki's and browns up there already!
Credit for our angry, truck rampaging friend's head sculpt goes to Peter Miles for taking on this character for me again and recreating a brilliant likeness to the actor right down to the angry expression!
The biggest challenge was probably getting his body shape right. He's somewhat of a big guy (understatement!) at 6 ft 5 (and having played Jason Voorhees in "Freddy vs Jason") so two thin layers of clothing (shirt and t-shirt) wasn't nearly enough to bulk out my ACI 'Christian' body.So I used strips of fabric cut off an old jacket and wrapped it around his waist, biceps, thighs, cut out a little vest to go underneath the clothing and some makeshift shoulder pads to puff him up much more!
And my 1/16 Monogram Peterbilt 359 model kit which sits on my desk.
Just because :)
