![[Captain Mackenzie Calhoun] Hiya folks! Thought I'd pop in to post another old custom. This time around, it's the first and only Star Trek figure I've ever produced. Introducing the legendary Warlord of Xenex, bane of the Danteri, and maverick captain of the Starship Excalibur, M'k'n'zy of Calhoun!
Peter David is one of my favorite writers. He's extremely prolific, with his hands in film, television, comics, and novels. Most people on this site will likely know him for his comic book work, having helmed some of the most famous story arcs in modern comics (Aquaman, Supergirl, Hulk, Spider-Man, Young Justice), and even having created his share of iconic characters (most notably, Spider-Man 2099).

For the reverse gull wing doors I ground out the frame and then epoxied piano hinge to the doors and frame.
The front end slides forward and rotates again thanks to the sacrifice of some brave transformers.
Calhoun was made mainly from a Rise of Cobra StormShadow.
I wanted his face to be unique so I re sculpted the head from the RoC Rex/doctor figure.
The sculpted the chest piece and a bit of the mask using aves fixit.
I tried to keep the color scheme as close to the original as I c](userimages/customs/22500/22090-1.jpg) MASK Raven with Calhoun Burns M.A.S.K.by G1-ToysThe Raven is one of my all time favorite MASK vehicles so I just had to take a stab at breathing some new life into it.
