JOHN PATRICK MASON

You know you loved "The Rock." Sean Connery was a total badass in the film and he beat Nick Cage around like a $2 Ho. I knew I absolutely had to make him when I saw Jim Maddox's sculpt of the head.

This is a very simple bash. Most of the items can be found anywhere through the various E-tailers and it's up to your imagination. For this figure, I tried to stay as close as I can to the film without sacrificing the "coolness" factor. In the film, he had little to no gear because John Mason was only supposed to get the Seal Team inside the Rock. I loaded him with tons of gear instead.

The base body is a Dragon body.  Clothes are 21st Century BDUs.  I painted his flashlight red and weathered all of his clothes and gear as well as his boots.  For a very early custom figure, the paint job wasn't too bad, but it also isn't great.  I didn't know how to mix paint as well so some of the colors are a little off.  If you look closely, some of his paint also came off from rough handling.  That is why it is absolutely important to use paint sealants to secure your paint jobs so it doesn't scratch off.

My Favorite Quotes from the movie:
"Your best? Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and f#$% the prom queen."

"What do you want me to do, kill it again?"

"I'm fed up with saving your ass. I'm amazed you made it past puberty."

"This is more enjoyable than my average day... reading philosophy, avoiding gang rape in the washrooms... though, it's less of a problem these days... maybe I'm losing my sex appeal."

"In charge of what? F$#%ing me over for another three decades?"
