This is a custom I did last year when I first really got into it (and started lurking here for tips/inspiration). The idea was to make a bunch of rusty, abandoned B.A.T.s for an abandoned warehouse/factory diorama. I thought, "Hmmm, I just got this Jungle B.A.T. in with the new wave order, let's start with him." This was followed by "I'll be able to pick up a ton of these at retail to add to the ranks, no problem. They'll probably end up as pegwarmers anyways."
Needless to say, I only have the one rusty B.A.T. still...although he could still be a Jungle B.A.T., just several years later and either offline or destroyed. I have no regrets Anyways, enough talk. Hope you like it, and comments/critiques are welcome.

Nice work. The "rusted" paint apps are convincing. My only critique is that you painted the cloth parts as if they were metal. Perhaps torn cloth with an exposed B.A.T. leg beneath it? Same with the shoulders? Aside from that, I really like it!

I like it. Rust rubs off so the cloth could just be stained.
