brilliant job!
Thanks guys
I'm a happy Collector. As a big Gambit fan, the experience in putting this together was really fun. A lot of the bits and pieces I used was through ebay so it was exciting everytime I check the mail and there's another package in there.

I thought about it but I'm going by the movie gambit and his staff was pretty much plain except there's a crystal on one end. So, that's probably the last thing I still need to do. I've looked all over the house to see if I can find something similar but alas no luck and the ones that I thought that would be ok to put at the end wouldnt stick to the staff so I kinda left it as it is for now.

Nice work sir. May benefit from slight weathering of the boots - they look a bit too toyish as they are.
Lobo, I ended up using a clothes set from TTL. Its the one that's being used for fight club tyler durden kitbashing.
this one:
https://cgi.ebay.com/1-6-TTL-Toys-F...tem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d29b83f54
Originally, I used the T becker pants, the material used on those pants was definitely nice. I was kitbashing my Tyler Durden at the same time and tried the pants that came with the set and I like it a lot better. The TTL set pants was low rise on the waist and the length was perfect. I ended up buying 3 other pants but I prefer the fit of the TTL set pants. One of the threads I read when I was kitbashing Tyler said they do sell the set separately now but unfortunately, I dont know where you can order it separately. Most of the ones I found on ebay was selling it as a set.

Actually, the boots are much darker in hand. i noticed also on the pics that it came out lighter but trust me, it looks much nicer in hand. Originally, I only used a single layer of brown which is kinda what it looks like in the picture now so I went back and drybrushed it with a mix of burnt sienna, black and then brown and painted over the previous first layer. It looks 10 times better in hand cause it actually looks like leather. One of those pleasant surprise since I'm pretty new to kitbashing. But with the camera flash, the boots looks like a single brown color and it looks lighter. Its reversed with the facial hair I painted, its much lighter in hand. This is really my 2nd truetype to paint as I bought 2 of them, 1 to use for Tyler. The first one, I used just black and it ended up looking too dark... Almost like a beard. So, on the 2nd head, I ended up using brown with a slight mix of black and carefully drybrushed it slowly over the sculpted facial hair, and it came out nice. But again, with the camera I used, maybe cause of the the flash or settings, the facial hair looks darker than what it looks like in hand. One of these days I'll invest on a real camera.

Looks Awsome Remy, well done !!!
I am still waiting for my hat, new hands and my 3/4 length jacket to come but I have dyed the shirt and made my staff with crystal so thought I'd post a pic.
He is borrowing Blades jacket at the moment.

Hi guys, do you know where I can find the purple shirt for him?
mt24, we both dyed the shirt purple. There really isnt any shirt out there that's purple like in the movie, or if there is, its an SOB to find.

slight update. I was really excited to post my pics last time, didnt bother to look at my sis' digital camera settings thus some of the color adjustments seem odd. Notice the boots are much darker now
After playing around with it, I noticed that its better to have the flash turned off as it was causing some of the colors to look unnatural. I noticed it was really weird also as inhand and like these pics, he has a slight grin, on my earlier pics, he looked ticked off. ha ha.
Plus he needed to be posed with Wolvie also to complete the whole Wolverine: Origins setting, so here ya go...

Awesome Bob!!!

Yeah I was pretty pleased with the staff. Took a while but worth it in the end.
Love your new pics too Remy !!! The Sentinal head looks great and I love the wall. Where did you get it?
As it seems up to Remy and I to keep this thread going a couple more pics now I have the hands and the hat I was waiting for.
Bob
Awesome Gambit Bob!!! Love the pose.
The wall was part of the Sideshow Environment that they produce. They have several kinds, like the nuclear reactor, emperor's throne (palpatine), a dining diorama for star wars, etc.
I really wish they make more of these but as usual with SS, they only release limited quantities. Its sold out but sometimes you can luck out and find them on ebay (where I got them) but its pretty hard to find though.
Hey, I'm assuming that is still the blade trenchcoat right? I'm really curious how it looks on the 3/4 trenchcoat.
