I finally got around to finishing this guy. I have had this figure sorted and ready for months, but I was just too lazy to finish some of the smaller bits of finishing to call him complete. Finally, however, I have.
I decided to actually tie my own Alpine harness using book binding thread instead of painting the plastic one that comes with the figure. Afterwards I painted the wooden shin guards as I have in the past to make them look more like wood. The rest was just painting some details to match, and stringing the bow. I made this head and hood combo way back during the summer, and had been painting up a scratch built body for it, however, even using krylon fusion on the body for a nice even white, it wasnt adhering, so I put him on the back burner until the 50th model dropped. Once that happened, I just moved my work over to its core build. Since this is going into my personal collection, I doubt ill go back and touch up some of the grey paint on the hood, but if I were to put it on the market I do need to make it a bit more even in tone. Anywho, I hope you dig the changes. Recipe Head: Ret.

I like this. The large hood and 50th head works very well.

Very nice work, Ska! I've got a tweaked 50th SS that I plan on showing off once I put the finishing touches on him. Like you, I used some craft thread to give him a more realistic rope harness.

That looks really good and greatly improves the look of the 50th SS yet retains the classic elements. Nice work there!
I have an incomplete stormy that I can use for parts. I'm going to have to steal =)
