While goofing around today and waiting for posts and such I was fooling with a pocket knife, you know one of those big bulky McGyver style..., anyway...There was a tool on it (I don't know whit it is) that closely resembled one of Wolverines claws. I was thinking about making some casts and casting some metal claws to start customizing a cool looking Wolverine/Logan figure. I think I'll convert a 12 inch GI JOE. Is someone capable of sculpting a head? Or is there an easy way to sculpt a head and cast it in resin?

I then was thinking of converting a GI JOE leather jacket into Logans and improvising the rest of the outfit.

Any thoughts?

Can you post a pic or drawing of the tool? I've got a few Swiss Army-style knives myself but I don't think I have that tool on any of them.
For the head, you could try just looking around for a G.I. Joe size doll with a head that looks similar or close and then modify it. There's a ton to choose from.

Sounds like a cool project. I've been thinking of doing some 12 inch customs myself, but finding a good subject is tough.

Really, here are some I've thought of...

Matrix-Neo
Indiana Jones (the 12 inch is way to expensive)
Wolverine/Logan
Rambo-Thats way easy

I'll get a pick by the end of today, but can you tell me how to post it. I'm quite dumb at that. I can never get it to work.

After you upload it to your webspace, do this:

If you're talking about that Indiana Jones from Toys McCoy, DAMN! That's so cool even if it is worth its weight in gold!

Oh, I forgot to ask, but where can I get the costume and weapon set for turing a 12 inch GI Loe into an Aliens' Marine? And are there any more costume sets from other movies like this one?

Nice sig Indy. Hey, what program did you use to put it together?

I put it together in a program called Micrographix Picture Publisher. It came with my scanner and is a few years old. Glad you like it. Unfortunately, Geocities is on the frits and I cannot view any of my stuff, pics included.
