I’ve tried to get a Skidmark going once or twice, but kept having the same trouble as you. Like...the green torso wasn’t quite the right shade of green (I avoid painting joints like the plague, so I rely on the factory color choices mostly) and the helmet wasn’t quite the right shape and it all came up just a little bit short. I’ve tried looking for custom casts for the helmet, but Avacslab doesn’t have options close enough to to what I want...Raginspoon is always sold out of everything and Vortious just takes to dang long to deliver so I don’t go to them).
All in all, I just never hit the nail on the head with Skidmark (P.S. If I ever do end up making him. I think it would be hilarious to replace his light-green Flight-Ops waistpiece with a plain white Ghost-Ops waistpiece) |

I don’t mind the painting of joints, it’s annoying at times but okay with the right kind of sealer. The helmet has been the biggest issue for me and the build just doesn’t say Skidmark once I put him together. I love the white crotch idea, ha! If I can make one I’m happy with I will definitely get that on there for a pic

Next up is an unproduced figure...1995 Replicator Duke. Keep in mind this is not an exact reproduction of the ‘95 Duke. I know this particular Duke does not have a purple vest, but if you squint hard enough at the card art on 3D Joes, you’d be forgiven for thinking he has a purple vest. I just thought a purple-clad Duke is just my kind of awesome.

I give the ball joint on the trooper waist a gentle sanding with an Emory board...not too much or the connection gets too loose. Sand gently and check the fit often to still get that snug fit |

Today?s entry is Spirit. A little bit vintage a little bit modern. This guy turned out to be very difficult to realize.
I had originally intended to give him his breechcloth, but after putting him together, I think there is enough red on the figure and he?s recognizable enough as Spirit without it. SPIRIT (V1):1984 Last edited by rob; 07-12-2022 at 10:48 PM.. |
