That is a great take on the character, first time I've seen a Steeler custom use Retaliation Firefly parts. Awesome!

Thanks for all the good words, guys. It was a fun project.
I don't like painting joints either. In fact, I try to avoid it as much as possible, so I specifically look for joints already cast in the color I want to match or that can be dyed to match. Paint rub on joints looks so terrible. I wanted Steeler to match the green of the SDCC version. I took the arms from SDCC Grunt (same color as SDCC Steeler), so that I didn't have to paint the joints. The only joints I did paint don't count really- it was the outside of the knee joints, so there is no paint rub. Parts, recipe: Torso and legs: Retaliation Firefly Arms: SDCC Grunt Hands: DATD retail version Flint Head & helmet: 25th Anniversary Steeler Visor: ARAH Steeler Shoulder holster & waist belt (modified): POC Hawk |
