So it's been awhile since I've had a chance to work on any customs (a 7 month old will do that). But I've been wanting to do this one forever as the UK Tiger Force Outback is my favorite figure. I'm not sure what it is, but I love it.
I used almost exclusively Night Force Outback parts, with only the waist coming from a different figure (because I had used the Outback waist on a different custom). I went back and forth on the Orange. The Tamiya Gloss "Orange" was an almost perfect match for the color on the original figure. But using the darker night force Outback body, I could never get it completely covered. If I had it to do over again, I would have looked for a Flak Outback body. I ended up using a Citadel foundation paint called "Solar Orange". It's darker than I would have liked, but I think it gives a more realistic look, so I stuck with it. Lastly, I did some touch up on the vest and headband after taking these pictures. As always, feedback is welcomed.

Great paint apps! I always hated those arms though. The whole thing just doesn't look right. Sleeves are dumb. Forearms are dumb. The way the gloves look has to be the dumbest thing though. It's not your fault, you didn't make them
Have you thought about swapping out the arms? I redid my FLAK Outback and gave him: - Storm Shadow upper arms (from the Legions set) - Tomax/Xamot lower arms - Resolute Duke fingerless gloved hands |

Hmm, that's not a bad idea. I wanted to go short sleeves, but my options were limited by what I had on hand. I came close to using Chuckles' arms, but the forearms were not much better. I think I have two of your three options lying around. I may have to try and piece together the 3rd and give it a go. Thanks for the idea.
