Really cool Stalker! Has a Battle Corps Stalker vibe due to the color scheme and I’ve always been a huge fan of that version. The webgear and knee pads really work great for the character, I like the shirt haired version of a stalker better too. Well done!

Battle Corps Stalker was my most played with Stalker as a child (wasn't a fan of the Artic version, and I didn't own any others), so that was definitely an influence on this. Hell, I would've went with a knit cap instead of the beret if I could've found a decent head for it. The beret's pretty iconic though, so I'm good with it. |

Updated the knee and elbow pads on Duke:
I also noticed that the Marauder forearms didn't even come close to matching the skin tone of the Renegades head, so I went ahead and mixed up a flesh tone that was a bit closer of a match. It's only my second time paint matching, and I have to say, I am NOT a fan. I wasn't sure I wanted Duke wearing gloves, but went with it just so I wouldn't have to paint the hands as well. |

That's a good looking Duke! I avoided the zip-up shirt look myself, but something about the lighting here makes it look great!
And yeah, paint-matching sucks; a lot of the time I just bite the bullet and repaint everything. You've done a good job on this though! |

Duke looks great. I like that head sculpt they made for him and used it for a Recoil custom.

Great stuff!!! The paint matching worked out perfectly I'd say.

Thanks for the compliments, guys! Most of these aren't anything fancy, but I'm glad you're digging them.
Here's one I actually changed up a bit more than the others. Clutch: It's not the most faithful to any one version, but my ideal Clutch is weird. I liked the unshaven, not short-haired look from the comics, but preferred him in tan because of the cartoon. The hat's also kind of a nod to the Mega Marines version, which was the only Clutch I owned as a kid. Not an iconic look but I like it. Had to do some more paint matching to get the upper body the same color as the lower body, and while it sucked, I think I got pretty close. On the bright side, I didn't have to mix paint to match Marauder's brown, as Model Masters dark tan looks like a perfect match. It was easy, but I'm not a fan of how... well... dark tan Marauder's brown is. Do you guys think it's fine as is, or should I find a darker shade and repaint the brown areas?
