I've got four Fisher Price Adventure People updates still to post, but last night I got a wild hair to paint up my long-languishing Keel Haul custom, and here are the results! I'm pretty happy with how he turned out. This figure was a long time on the workbench, as I tried just about every possible leather jacket combination I could think of--the rocker coat, Indiana Jones, various Marauder vests--basically all the stuff I have seen other people use before, but that never quite looked "right" on any of my builds, especially once I settled on this wide-chested caster sculpt with the gloriously open shirt. I decided to cannibalize this officer suit jacket that I've had in my fodder bin for a while, figuring that a little sculpting putty and a lot of paint might be able to sell it as a leather jacket. I'm still experimenting with how to lay down putty in a way that doesn't leave obvious seams, but given what a mess of torn plastic this vest was once I started gluing it down, it's a miracle it looks as good as it does! Here are a couple more views: I feel like I am getting marginally better at faces. In the end, I'd call this one a qualified success. Admiral Keel Haul joins the ranks once again! RECIPE ------- Arms, Gloves, and Gun: Marauder (arms are British Trooper) Chest and Waist: Two different pieces from random kits I got from a caster. Head: Caster Jacket: Caster with tons of putty work to cover tears and lengthen the coat. Legs: GI Joe Hawk v4 (2009) Gun Belt and Holster: POC General Hawk (2011) |
