Figures ARAH "Tan" Stalker

nova · 12-06-2013, 12:27 PM

I've been playing around with making my own Paint Masks after picking up a smal Dental Vacu-former.

Since Grand Slam first showed his LBC Tan Breaker, and Tan Hawk I've wanted to make a full set of matching OG13 figures. I've seen others make Stalker using Doc arms, but I really wanted to keep the figures as 100% repaints...like Hasbro would have done...Not adding new Paint opperations, or changing any Parts.

I ended up making 2 of this guy, because there is a front and a back half of the Paint mask...but I can only paint one side of a figure at a time... So I painted one side, let them dry, and then switched and painted the other side.

I was a bit annoyed that the Blue painter's tape I used to mask the hands pulled some of the paint off the arms... Also I'm not 100% happy with the color paint I used for the hands...but I'm going to leave it go till I finish the other 3 figures in this set...then maybe make small tweeks on all 13 figures.

I haven't posted them previously her on Hisstank, but here's my Tan OG10 as they are right now. Flash, Grand Slam, and Scarlett are currently WIPs

This brings a tear to the eye.

Those are great. Always nice to see O ring customs especially really nice ones like those. Great work.

Those are awesome!

What kind of paint did you use?

Amazing work! Love the concept and execution. They look factory produced and fit the aesthetic of the OG13 ARAH figures perfectly! Awesome idea.

Did you cast those figures? They all look like factory fresh variants!

I remember when I was younger I looked for a tan stalker because Hasbro put an image of one on one of its mail orders (riding the manta sailboard). This is exactly how I would have expected him to look. Great job!

Nothing on these figures is cast... It's mostly parts from tan grunts and tan clutches... And the a few parts painted with tamiya color's light sand spray paint
