This is my last custom for awhile. I'm still collecting parts for future ones, but for the time being I gotta rededicate some time to my other art.
This one is sculpted over a Torpedo with boots glued on. I wanted to see if I can get an old 1950's era Euro commando look (long story) combined with some modern elements. The problem I had was color correcting my camera, I couldn't get the tan to not look like yellow and I couldn't get the green to not look bright. The actual colors are closer to a tan and darker green with a citadel green wash over it. I highly recommend the citadel washes. The harness is an original green stuff sculpt with a removeable grenade and knife The carbine is a combination of a couple marauder pieces. The M-4 body so I can remove clips and such, the carbine barrel, the M-16 rear sight, and M-4's stock modified to be adjustable by sliding it back a 1/4 of an inch. My earlier model had more adjustment but trial and error reduced it to a 1/4 inch. Not shown is the inside of the stock that has a small lever to make sliding easier. Basically I wanted to give it a classic look since he's old school and doesn't need to make a 25 lb 40,000 dollar custom M4 with micro air conditioners and DVD players so he can watch Family Guy through his scope. |

30 gauge wire twisted and looped to look like it's tied. It's really hard to actually tie them. I leave a twisted part on the backend and glue that into a very small hole at the top, between the boot and pantleg.

Thanks. That's a little better but I took the drastic color change in the background as being a false representation for you guys I didn't go past auto levelling it. The main thing is the tan is really tan and not yellow. The green is supposed to be darker and there is a green hue over the tan created by the wash.
I can tell you, Stalker is by far my worst photogenic fig. |
