I know that the CT head is from a RoC Duke figure, but this figure doesn't seem like Duke to me; looks more like he would be a PMC or a SEAL type character, IMO. However, that being said, the figure is a solid build, and that tattoo sleeve is one of the best I've seen on a 1/18th scale figure. Great job on the figure, regardless of his name!

Good looking custom. I like the color of the camo pants, and the tattoo looks great. Is that a decal or did you paint it? Jason |

The tattoo is painted on. I used some subdued brown-red and gray-blue blends, since tattoos are never actually bright primary colors. After I painted it on, I used the head of a pin to scrape off the paint so as to add fine detail.
I just called him “Duke” because it was a Channing Tatum head and I couldn’t think of anything better. The wrist is weird because I made it out of random crap from my bits box. The parts I chose were parts I had laying around at the time. The lower arms are from a Jurassic World toy. I cut off the hands and drilled the peg holes. I really didn’t even think about it until people pointed it out. I’m really proud of the pants. When I put the toy together, the upper legs were black and the lower legs were green. I solved it by putting some black paint on the green parts and green paint on the black parts to create the striped look. I do not like using lots of paint, since our paints are never as good as the toxic stuff the manufacturers use. The stripes were to avoid having a layer of caked on paint covering the entire limb.
