Captain Arlan Strangewayes - Cygnar Character Solo


The best of the best, Captain Arlan Strangewayes is who every arcane mechanik in Cygnar's army strives to be.  A pragmatic man, Captain Strangewayes believes that with his wrench there is nothing he can't do to keep warjacks in his charge in functioning order.  Unlike many of his fellow mechaniks, Strangewayes reveles in combat and feels invincible when accompanied by a warjack.  Equipped with a voltic gauntlet, he can scramble enemy warjacks.  A skilled Jack Marshal, he uses his arcane abilities to strengthen his own warjacks and can give them the ability to move freely on the battlefield.  While sometimes gruff and considered no nonesense, every commander wishes for Captain Arlan Strangewayes to be the one tending to their jacks.

A major planned conversion from the start, his nose was given some bulk, hair was added and he was reposed from the stock pose to give him the appearance from his artwork.  Unfortunatley his pipe was lost, but in my opinion, it was an improvement.  The largest challenge was to reposition the arms and rebuild the left hand to grasp the wrench, but it was accomplished using a safety needle and alot of patience.  His hair took on several incarnations until I found a look I liked and then he sat on a shelf for nearly five months before paint touched him, and I am happy with his finished look.
