Ooooh, I really like this custom . Made me think of the movie 'True Grit' in some way, don't really know why ('cept the obvious Western connection, of course).

The cigar and spurs are a nice touch! The decals are well done, they look real professional. They really make the guy look gritty and Western-like. Maybe a scar or two would've given more credibility to him having been in the Civil War and being a manhunter. I presume the decals are waterslides?

My only critique is the roughness of the hat, it kinda takes away from the overall professionalism of the custom . But as I've said, terrific MOC and nice (short) background story.

Thanks so much! i agree the hat is a bit rough, shapeway has a new polished option I may try next order, it may be smoother. The decals are waterslide, printed and applied by myself. Thanks again, glad you like the little scene!
