Hello all, I made this Jim Lee Gambit from a Jubilee BAF wave Cyclops base body, Steve Rogers movie head, and Chameleon hands. I resculpted almost his whole body, except the thighs, pelvis, and the front of face and ears. Arms, torso front and back, head piece, hair...all of that was sanded down and sculpted. All the cross patterns on his chest piece are sculpted in, and his boots were entirely sculpted as well, and those lines on the boots were all etched in (VERY time consuming). I got rid of the ab crunch and the calf swivel, as they were not needed for the sculpting I had to do. I used black milliput for all the sculpting, and a combination of Vallejo and Games Workshop acrylic paints.

The jacket was made from a brown t-shirt, cut into several pieces and glued together using liquid stitch...I ran wires in the seams, so this jacket is fully poseable, and completely removable! I had to make a couple trial runs on the jacket, as this was my first time making a soft good removable piece of clothing. This guy was a blast to make, and he's taking his place up on my 90's X-Men shelf. Let me know what you think! More to come! :)

Gambit's always been a favorite of mine. Not a lot of figures do him justice, but yours certainly does!

Wow! Looks great. Can't even tell the parts were reused, and that's always a big plus! The jacket is impressive.
