James MacDonald Hudson, in the costume John Byrne designed for him (as opposed to the current noseless wonder). The base is a Quicksilver toy from the Mutant Armor line, which itself is a modified Spider-Man figure. I sliced and filed off most of Pietro's hair, then built the Guardian suit's helmet out of Sculpey modeling compound. Then I chopped off the left hand and replaced it in a less dopey pose (it was a webslinging hand with the fingers pulled in, and it looked like the figure was trying to give you the ringer with a closed fist), cementing it in place with more Sculpey. Next I filled in most of the joints with Sculpey, since I was going to have to fuse them anyway to avoid having blue plastic showing through. Finally, I used a half dozen or so layers of white paint and two coats of gloss red to put Guardian's costume on.
