![[The Predator of Antioch (First Crusade, 1098)] Predators: 1000 AD Bio:
"On 28 June 1098, the crusaders defeated the Muslim commander Kerbogha's forces in a pitched battle outside the city. According to Christian eye-witnesses, an army of Christian saints came to the aid of the crusaders during the battle and crippled Kerbogha's army.
While it is impossible to determine the number of entities eye-witnesses saw, one was described as emerging during a crusader's charge, 'with holy light from heaven', wielding an immense broadsword. The savagery that the 'saint' of Antioch displayed may help explain the particularly intense level of atrocities committed by Christian soldiers. In particularly, the decapitated, skinned bodies of the Muslim army's division commanders."

"The atrocities encountered by Muslim traders in the weeks preceding the fall of Jerusalem July 15th 1099) are often attributed to the invading Frankish armies on Crusade. However, accounts discovered in a Byzantine monastery (c.1098) describe a demon that stalked the trade routes along the Mediterranean. These accounts culminate in 1098 with the massacre of Jerusalem by the invading Frankish army. Historians have explained the grotesque dismemberments, and display of Jewish and Muslim civilian’s corpses as driven by "isolation, alienation and fear" felt by the Crusading army so far from home. This fails to explain the presence of skinned corpses, hung from unreachable archways throughout the city."

For my classics deluxe-scaled version, I swapped the legs (so the thighs are backwards) to help differentate him from a regular Bumblebee figure and from my custom Goldbug. I also modified the bumper, and added some styrene work so the bumper doesn't look hollow when in Bot mode.

Painted with Mr. Hobby matte black lacquer paint & Gunmetal, sealed with Mr. Spray UV Cut Super Clear matte.
To keep the black/black colorscheme from looking too monotonous, I used a metallic black on the windshield/windows, and a Citadel Gloss varnish on the bumpers, runners, and above the wheel hubs.

It's challenging to make an accurate likeness of any real person at such a small scale, and on top of that - he needed to look like a Na'vi warrior -- yet still be recognizable as the person it was modeled after.

Afterward, I used Aves Apoxie sculpt and Citadel Green Stuff to create the Na'vi look.

![[Havok (X-Men Movie /First Class Style)] This is HAVOK, during this time with the X-Men. He was a 'request', done in a hybrid style that combines the blond actor / chest plate design from X-Men: First Class film with the 1st X-Men movies Leather tactical suit look.
I added a magnet stack under the chest disc, and embedded magnets in 'blasts'.
The chest disc was originally a button, and Havok's head was originally a ML Angel head cast that I sanded down and re-sculpted (with ML Punisher ears) with Aves Apoxie Sculpt to resemble the actor from 'First Class'.
The blasts I created from an extra Mattel 'Blazing Sword' Volton figure, along with Aves Apoxie Sculpt. Painted with Vallejo Silver/Gunmetal, then Citadel magenta Ink. The blasts attaches to the chest magnetically, and can store on a small magnetic platform for separate display.
Painted with Mr. Color lacquer paints first, and details added with Vallejo acrylics. The neck area, chest disc and connecting areas on the blasts were all sealed with liquid type KrazyGlue, the](userimages/customs/36500/36352-1.jpg) Havok (X-Men Movie /First Class Style) X-Men - Moviesby blaynescottThis is HAVOK, during this time with the X-Men.

In a shattered future, only the strong survive.
I'd originally intended the figure to be a homage to the novel “A Canticle for Leibowitz” by making a gas-mask wearing post-doomsdays Monk. Instead, I made him a general 'wasteland survivor', in the vein of a MAD MAX’s “Raiders”, or HARDWARE’s “Zoners”.
This was a figure I entered into CustomCon30 as part of a fictional 'upcoming' toy line of post-apocalyptic action figures. Visit my figure archive to view other figures in this series. Also, you can check out my website's gallery or youtube pages (Google search "wasteland survivor youtube blaynescott") for videos of this, and other custom figures.

![[Wasteland: Reaper-Class Cyborg Unit] Mentioned only in whispers, Reaper-Class cyborgs brought death from afar. Combined surveillance, artillery, and close combat models, the R.E.A.P.E.R’s were a feared military asset by all sides in the final conflict. Legend tells of a great number still in operation, maintained by militia groups deep in the wastelands. None dare salvage in those zones, for all survivors fear the reaper.

Originally intended as a removable suit for living soldiers, the dead were quickly recycled and outfitted to fight again. These Battleoid units were often more effective in battle, lacking hesitation, fear, or compassion. Built to withstand EMP blasts and armor piercing munitions, many still wander today among the irradiated urban ruins.
