The making of:

Brawny:

Head: Gnawgahyde
Torso: Road Pig
Arms: Sagat(modified to fit the torso)
Waist: Metal-Head
Legs: Big Boa

Burly:

Head: Ambush
Torso: Guile
Arms: Big Boa
Waist: Metal-Head
Legs: Big Boa

The head sculpts for Gnawgahyde and Ambush reminded me of the old time strongmen due to the facial hair, so that’s what I took inspiration from in creating these figures. I had to modify the Sagat arms and make new nubs for them to fit the torso for Brawny. I made a flesh colored paint to paint the figures anywhere skin would be exposed. I painted on the outfits that old time strong men would wear based on my research. I made the weights with plastic q-tips that had the cotton removed and rubber bouncy balls which I painted.

Okay, these are just fun! Great parts choices and the paint looks fantastic.

very cool! great parts usage!

Saw these on Facebook and thought they were pretty cool.

I have a Hero Machine circus strongman somewhere I never posted (maybe I did in my WIP thread).

Very funny and well executed customs.
The flesh paint looks excellent.

Funny and great customs! They do look like strong men.
They'd make a cool WWF tag team as well!

Looks like one of the White Clown's performers. These are great!
