Yea, But softened him up first. I used one of those electric water boilers that has a spout like opening. The steam from those are friggin HOT, I blistered my hand one time just by holding it over the lip for about three seconds...instant 2/3rd degree burn! Carefully holding the figure over the steam will make the plastic softer and heat the glue. You can also use this technique to tighten loose joints. Just squeeze the plastic once soft and it will form a tighter bond. I used this in conjunction with an exacto knife on scarlett to open her up. I don't think she would have opened any other way wihtout breaking the torso.

Yea, its different. I was tired of the all black web gear. Thought of this as a change. I'll use another set, flat black, and compare to see what looks best.

Got that secret from a Hobby Shop store owner. I was going to buy a thing of acrylic thinner and he told me to save my money and just use some windex, and add some water if you just want to clean your brushes. Best tip I ever recieved because thinner is too damn expensive.

Using flat colors, I prime the parts and start with a solid base like green, then I add brown, khaki, and finish with black. I then use flat clear before putting all the parts back together. This pattern was more of a horizontal type. Modern U.S. Military woodland is more of an inconsistant pattern flowing every which way. I would live to do a digital pattern like what we have in the Marines, but that would take damn near forever!!
Thanks for the postive word and honest critiques, I do apprecieate it. Stay tuned though. I have some more ninjas that I am working on and a Scarlett that I decided to make semi nude... the concept looks killer. Works along with her MOS, Counterintelligence. I guess I would call her the master of Sexpionage lol!!
