Historical Customs

[LibraryBoy]

I picked up the Revolutionary Soldier / George Washington CMF the other day and it hit me that I really like the recognizably-famous historical CMFs and would like to see more, particularly from US history. Long story short, I ended up making my favorite president (well, besides Lincoln, because everyone's favorite is Lincoln), Theodore Roosevelt in his Rough Riders uniform.

Pretty simple recipe - Professor Flitwick head (which always looked more like TR than Flitwick to me, anyway), the wide brimmed hat from the Adventurers line, the bandana from the Outlaw CMF (bandana should be blue to be accurate, but it'll do for now), one of the tan desert Nazi torso & legs from the Indiana Jones line, brown hands to simulate gloves, cavalry/pirate sword and a couple of guns (revolver and rifle) for the saddle holders on the horse.

He came together pretty quickly, but I'm quite happy with the results. And I have an awesome idea for a San Juan Hill vignette if I can find the time and the bricks.

Nice LibraryBoy!

Go Roosevelt. Where'd you get his face?

Professor Flitwick from the Harry Potter line. There's a yellow glasses & bushy mustache head out there that looks a little less pronounced (and probably more accurate), but the huge mustache made me laugh, the glasses look more turn-of-the-century, and honestly, this looks much more like TR than it ever did Flitwick!
