I don't know about the rest of you but for the most part I pick up store products (these days) for various 3rd party projects ... that said every now and then I just have to purchase something because it has effectively captured my muse (for lack of a better description) . Over more years than I'm willing to confess (I've been 35 for over a decade now) I've accumulated a fairly impressive collection of epically cool models from 1971S, Jonnte's and Michael_C's stores ... that I'm embarrassed to admit ... I never use. I realized the main reason is because I've never found M4 figures to man those stages that looked appropriate to them. It took me this long to admit defeat and just go ahead and make my own. So that's what this is all about. I Thought a kind of Steampunk character with an anime crispness would probably be the way to go, so this is my first pass... feedback welcomed, I'm sure I'm not the first one to feel this pain ;^)
