The 25th Tunnel Rat doesn’t look like Larry so, I wanted to make a modern era version with a more authentic likeness. Still working out a camo pattern until I find the right one but, for the most part the figure is done.
I used cast heads which I painted with a custom color of paint to match the factory skin tone of these arms and I made a custom color of paint for the torso to match the factory color of the sleeves as well. Could I have just painted the arms and sleeves in stock colors to save time from mixing custom colors? Yes. But, I don’t like painting joints (and I do like making custom colors). Painted joints crack if you try to pose them or to avoid cracking the paint you can’t pose the figure. So, I try to choose joints that are like the color I want the finished figure to be and then paint match everything else. I keep full articulation and have no cracked paint that way. Just my preference for doing things. Head scarf and head bandanna (two different styles seen here) are from Marauder. All other parts are Joe parts. |
