Hello Guys,
Here’s an old customization I did back in 1989.
I had this small PVC figure of Bart that I thought would be cool to turn into a Colonial Marine.
It was originally intended to be part of a diorama article I had planned to submit to MODEL & TOY COLLECTOR. I was going to customize the Marge figure into Ripley, Lisa into Newt and Homer into Hicks. They were all going to be put unto a base that contained around a dozen plastic Easter eggs that would have been changed into Alien eggs. They would be confronted by a large Kaiyoda Queen Alien.
Well, unfortunately, due to other commitments, only Bart gone done. So, even though he never got to see the light of being published back in ’89…he’s making his first public appearance here for you to enjoy.
All the armor was scratchbuilt with Mulliput expoxy, the helmet was loaned him by an old vintage G.I. Joe figure with rubber bands used as helmet straps and band. He’s sporting an M16 from an old Green Beret model that I WAS going to convert into a Pulse Rifle.
Appropriate Graffiti “EAT MY SHORTS’ written on the helmet along with a Hudson-esque Bart style skull adorns his breastplate. I was going to stencil the “DANGER REAR BLAST AREA” (as you see on the LAWS rocket in the last photo) on his…well, I think you can guess.
Anyway, I’ve had Bart for quite a long time and who knows…maybe one day I’ll complete that diorama.
Hope you guys enjoy him…he enjoys YOU!
