Just a quick one I threw together after getting the bug to buy a vintage one.
Recipe: Body - TF Flint Head, Backpack, pistol and bandolier - Jet Pack Duke. Grenade Launcher - BBI Helmet - Comic pack Hawk I had a hard time finding a color I liked, had to go with a crap brand, and it made me remember why I like Tamiya so much. I tinted the visor instead of painting it black...I wanted it to still be transparent, though it didn't come through as much in the pictures....I'll take some more under the right lighting and filters. I painted the camo to match the vintage as best as I could from reference pics. (BTW, I'm looking for a vintage one...willing to trade a MOC Black Timber S.E.!) So, really quick one, had fun with it....got a more complicated one coming at the end of the week.

Nice job! I really like the tinted visor as opposed to a painted one. Awesome, looks great!

Nice!
Who else, besides me, would buy a Hasbro-made Starduster (assuming he looks JUST like this) if he were the next mail-in figure? |

Yep, it's a decal I made.
And to answer gunslingercbr, I am getting lots of chipping on the shoulders. Which is why I hate cheap paints. No one in town sells Tamiya anymore, and I have to drive 40 minutes out of town to get them. edit: BTW, I always make a few extra in case I screw up, so I have three more decals if anyone wants them.
