I made just a few VERY minor touch-ups to these figures--to have them fit better with my original 13 project--but I thought I'd share them anyway. Overall, I'm very pleased with these right off the card, so there wasn't much to do.
I just found Stalker yesterday, so it didn't take me long to get to work on it. The main thing I did was touch-up the paint job on the head. The factory eyes were kind of wonky and there was a blob of black paint on his nose. I went with the original color of his beret. Finally, I added a faint wash to accentuate the details of the figure as I did with the rest of the 13 I've done so far. I'm somewhat tempted to do an entire repaint on him, only to give him a painted look that would fit better with the rest. I guess I'll wait and see how I feel. I did even less with Snake Eyes--just painted the knee pads, swapped out the knife on his shoulder, trimmed the head so he could look up more, and painted over the silver GIJoe symbol. To see them with the rest of the 13 that I've finished so far, click here.

Definite improvement on Stalker's eyes!
I've done the same thing w/SE knee pads and it looks much better. |

The person before me at wal mart bought 1 Stalker and 2 hazard Vipers......Hmmm.
No, those are good updates/fixes, and I will certainly steal them. Thanks for the progress updates.

That wasn't me! I only bought one of each at the Wal-Mart where I found them.

Just kidding anyway. Are you using Model Masters Acryl or something else like Tamiya?

Dang, just noticed. Are Stalker's hands different from SEs or am I just nuts? From the pics here, details seem different...

No, they're the same. What looks different is that Snake Eyes' hands have a glossier, thicker layer of paint that somewhat obscures the details.
