Figure: Trevor Fitzroy (X-Men by Toybiz)
Completed: around 1998-1999
Details: My favorite of all of the Marauders, it's Scalphunter. I always got the impression that Scalphunter was the field leader of the Marauders.
Trevor Fitzroy was used as the base. The beard was sanded down and Miliput was used to make the flowing hair longer. Now the crazy part. Since Scalphunter always wears this techno-covered suit, I wasn't for sure how to make that work. I finally decided to take pieces from computer circuit boards and glue them to the figure. It work perfectly. If you look closely, you will see that the original wires actually attach to the figure. I know that some of the pieces came from a monitor, a dot matrix printer, a burnt out modem, and a VAX computer terminal. I was even lucky enough to find pieces that matched the chest belt that he wears.
The best part of making this figure was making the tricked-out gun. I won't go to the trouble of pointing out where each piece is, but if you look closely, you can find the following: ToyBiz's X-Force Quark Double barreled rifle, a piece of toliet floater pipe, a finger lancet, the plunger from a syringe, a piece of solder, a watch battery, and lots of parts from circuit boards.
I really like the character and I really like this figure. I think that he turned out great.
