Desert scorpion looks so wicked and you couldn’t get a more badass companion than this robot scorpion!! Love both executions as these are true representations of new era versions!! Fantastic work bro!

Thanks guys. He was very very basic build. Total time including paint was 1 hour 17 minutes.
Including the scorpion. The thing that took the longest was the comm wire from his goggles to his helmet. I had to cut, dremel and set to size. As always I appreciate you guys! Thanks for taking the time to check out my stuff and especially thank you for taking the time to comment.

Sometimes simple is better. In this case honestly the paint job just pops. The yellow and black you used play off of each other really well. The fact that he isn't as "geared up" as your normal guys really just shows how great of a job you did painting him. Still great parts choices and execution.

Another great update, Slice! I like the figure a lot, but that mechanical scorpion looks so much more terrifying with the paint job you've given it... It looks like it would be something out of a Terminator movie.

That mask is one of the most badass things I ever saw! Haha, LOVE that look. Completely awesome that you kept his iconic backpack style too. Always thought the missile attachment made an already epic figure that much cooler.
All of your yellow pops so well on this guy, then love the paint apps on the gun, pouches, etc as always. Great touch with the fabric on his helmet too. This was always an all time favorite of mine and I’ve been wanting to make one myself for a while because the Club’s modern version just never did it for me. Can’t wait to work on my own one day but seeing this epic version at least let’s me see how he should be done.
