I’ve done some dips and such with my first version of the 19th century member of the Knighthawk clan, Elias Knight. But when I got ahold of some assassin’s creed figs I knew I wanted to use the Jacob one for an upgrade.

The sculpt is superior, but the figure was largish. Probably 6’6” in scale. And there were some details I didn’t love like the small feet.

So I did the obligatory headswap, then shortened the leg at the calf then swapped on boots (a combo of parts from various Destro figures).

The base figure is very HACKS-like in Construction, as I pointed out in the AC thread. So the coat is easy to swap out for the sleeve arms, which come from a different AC fig. Sorry I’m bad with their names. ImageImageImageImageImage

Thanks fellas. Already tweaking this. Lol. First I changed out the pirate style boots to jack boots more fitting of the era.

Then I made up a separate torso with a different colored vest to add some swappable looks. Hey, even heroes change their clothes. Also added a cap for special occasions. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

It's a whole damned kit, not just a custom.

Flawless.

Thanks fellas.

Pugsley - how many of this particular one? Just this kit now as I recycled the old one for a character for my son.

Knighthawks of all eras? Including the sci-fi Ajax character? Oh boy. Lost count. Lol

Also added holster to shoulder rig, top hat and group picsImageImageImageImage

I took an old Johnny West strong box and turned it into a travel trunk for 1/18. Last night I added interior details. I figure that in the course of his work as an investigator of the mystical arts he’d need some texts on arcane matters to be readily available in his travels. And his friend Van Helsing also helped him pack.

The lady is a modified version of one who appeared as a WIP before. It’s also an Assassins Creed figure with HACKS arms and Gamora head. I’m leaning towards this being Irene Adler unless someone else has a better 19th century character for her to be.

Also during the first photo shoot I realized I wanted a better backdrop, and so I painted up a wall piece from a Wayne Manor playsetImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Thanks 2D. And thanks for that collie also.

Can’t stop adding details

Painted up one of the outpost defender (maybe?) crates to fit the era alsoImageImageImage

Also tweaking the contents of the travel trunk while I’m at it. Too much fun
