Here's my take on Muskrat. One of the pics is a little blurry--I'm still trying out my new camera.
The additional light emphases the difference in color between the lower legs and the upper legs (which I didn't paint). It's not so noticeable under normal light conditions, but I will still probably repaint the entire legs so they match. I went with black boots instead of the brown and green of the original. I prefer to keep all the accents black instead if mixing in some brown. The wrist bands were a little bit of an experiment. I'm happy enough with them even though they don't quite look like the vintage figure or the card art. I also felt no need to come up with a swamp surf board! Recipe: - head: Airborne - hat: boonie from Alyosha - body/vest: Clutch - upper arms: Ripper - lower arms/hands: Flint - belt: comic pack Firefly - shotgun/machete: from Marauder John - knife on vest: from 5 pack Lady Jaye

I like it. I like your choice of the Airborne head more than the one I used, as it shows the versatility of the part.

Fantastic! Really great update and upgrade of the original. And kudos on matching his original hair color so perfectly.

Thanks! Mine's fairly close to what you have at your store, with less of the cool gear. That head is versatile, on of the few that can be painted in various ways and not look overly similar.
