Thought about it. Why in every version of Tunnel Rat has he been clean?
Switching it up. Modernized tunnel rat based off Vietnam soldiers who were and looked the real deal. Quite an easy custom, in creating it I used an Asian-American head to pay homage to Mr Larry Hama who. This figure was based on. I also ditch the machine gun and gave a proper weapon to a tunnel rat: shotgun. Nicky Lee has been Airbrushed , has painted dirt , grit, and everything in between. Here’s Tunnel Rat, a dirty muddy soldier , and all around badass:

Excellent update!
I always liked the vintage figure, but the giant gun never made much sense. Great call with the shotgun.

Solid update man!!!
The dirt effect looks like real mud and it was a wise decision to go with the shotgun. Now I want to re-look at my TR, haha.

Looks like he just crawled out of the sewer. Awesome work Slice. One of my favorite features about Tunnel Rat was his extra humungous backpack with the lights on top. That's the perfect base for him and I'm glad his bandana fits and doesn't look too big or too small. Perfect fit!

A very gritty, realistic look. You've done an excellent job, once again!

Thanks guys!
@Kuh_rupt I found yours and it looks good bro. Less cartoony and more real. I like it a lot. @sb, your totally right . I got the pack for this one I just haven’t painted it yet. Glad you all like him. It’s one of those grow on you over time figures since he is so different from the Normal TR. I actually sent pics of this one to Larry Hama.
