Resolute Duke provided us with the best head for any Duke figure in our collection. No more dough-faced pre-teen Duke for us. However, the 5-pack/wave 4 body's neck was too short for our boy Conrad. I chopped off the neck with a dremel and sanded down the stump on wave 4 Duke's body, then split the torso and cut off the entire neck section for wave 13 Duke. I then sanded down each section until the neck's length was right and glued it together. Throw in some of his gear - trademark binculars, bandolier (painted brown, matches holster), and the guns from wave 13, and we've got what I'm boldly calling the Definitive Duke.
I'm aware the (fixed) arms skin tone doesn't match the head's skin tone, but I've yet to come across a good variety of paints in skin tones other than "new-born pink." Hope you like it. (pics were taken in a hurry, sorry if they're a little out of focus) Last edited by UMAN; 02-06-2009 at 12:42 AM.. |

I was just going to say that. Match up the skin tones and it's 100% awesomeness!
