Tunnel Rat by Cloud Strife (Rd. 2)

I've been trying to figure out which legs to swap out with the 25th Tunnel Rat's legs, as they're not really that great. The knife and sheath are ridiculous. It was pointed out that the new Renegades Tunnel Rat's legs are shorter than most others. So, I set out to update Tunnel Rat once more. I widened his waist a little bit by sculpting, cut Bazooka's belt to fit his new waist, and added some sculpt to the back of his sleeves and the cuffs of them as well. I kept the cobbled head I previously made for Tunnel Rat and repainted the entire figure, other than the skin tone (I like the skin tone and camo I gave him the first time around).

I haven't given him a gun yet, as I'm waiting on Marauder's upcoming M240.

Recipe:

Head - Cobbled Hard Master head w/Tunnel Rat bandana and sculpted hair
Torso & Arms - Modded Tunnel Rat
Hands - Resolute Duke/Flint/Beachhead
Legs - Renegades Tunnel Rat
Holster - Tunnel Rat

Nice job, though I think his legs are too tall for him.

and the paint/color scheme is well executed

I love the head and legs. But the torso just seems off. It's like the head is a little too small for it, and the arms are too long. I'd love to see it using the same arms and torso from that Duke you put right next to it.

I have to agree with you guys. The proportions are simply off on this figure. *sigh* He looks like he suffers from 25th Wild Bill/Duke syndrome, and the extra bulk of the legs and waist make it more apparent, and the arms are too long. And honestly, I think I don't care much for the cobbled head any longer.

Back to the drawing board. This is the worst custom I've made in a while, lol.

I love it! no sweat about the head man, just cut the neck ball in half and add another ball. It will make his head sit a little higher and make his body look a little longer. Did the same to mine and makes a big difference. Another win!
