Strong Guy (X-Factor)

:)  Strong Guy (X-Factor) January 2008

X-Factor Strong Guy – Quite honestly, I was intimidated and excited at the same time by this custom project. Early 2007, I already have the base figure (ML Juggernaut). The recipe was inspired from our kababayan and internationally recognized fellow customizer HobbyMaster’s Strong Guy custom.

Months gone by and after many other custom projects finished, I still haven’t started with Strong Guy. First and foremost, don’t know where to start. So many work, sanding down, trimming are needed to be done. Until, I stumble upon a Movie Hulk figure. So I decided to change my recipe. I may not pull it off as HobbyMaster did.

Though, it still took a lot of sculpting and sanding down, I found the inspiration knowing that I made a good choice of cheap recipe and sold the quite expensive ML Juggernaut.
