Yup that is one amazing Torpedo custom! You gotta do a camo paint tutorial or something bro - I wanna learn!

I humbly thank you, gentlemen.

I have one kitbash for today. I have always stayed away from V1 Big Bear. The Kelly Green color of his vintage uniform has always scared me away. I simply am not good at fully painting a figure. The joints always turn out horribly for me and the paint rub sets off my OCD. I have made the International Action Force version of Big Bear, but he is very plain. Anyway, I was watching Red Dawn the other day and saw that the Russian troops were wearing the classic green/white Berezka camouflage. I thought maybe that would not be too hard to replicate. So, not very vintage accurate, but solidly Russian. Ironically, the Berezka camo is a summer woodland camo, so Russian troops would not typically wear the Ushanka hat, but I was going for a vibe.

BIG BEAR (V1): 1992

That camo looks awesome! Super clean (as always), and I feel like it fits Big Bear very well.
