[Hit & Run]

The only one I finished up this weekend was one I started working on a while ago but my initial go at sculpting forced me to focus on just working on one figure to keep myself from going crazy. Haha. Worked out though because I really think it gave me a nice indicator for how much I improved with my sculpting over a very short period. Almost embarrassed at the first attempt now. Haha.

But onto the figure itself, I loved the original blue 90’s Eel as a kid so when they released the purple version during the Battlecorps years, I was all in on him too! Just such cool designs and the colors popped so well. Combine that with me never having an original Eel, still don’t actually, this was just one that always appealed to me.

So same build as my v2 Eel, with this one I used the lavender Boss Fight blank as my start, the same Marauder straps and chest plate that I used for my v2 but then I aimed to make the sculpting on this one much more accurate to the original figure. So less crazy exaggerated fins and goggles. The paint job called for a nice purple and then the same neon yellow and fire red accents. I painted this one’s head correctly but I went off script on the belly by keeping that purple. I felt like it should have been that way on the original figure.

Haha, the first attempt I did just makes me laugh now. He’ll be a good squad leader for my purple Eel with the more exaggerated look.

Then taking down some Joe’s!:
