Figures Tunnel Rat Redux

SlicesCustoms · 01-26-2022, 03:49 AM

2022 : switched heads, updated paints, additions

Updated one of my favorite Joes.

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 Hand painted , has painted dirt , grit, and everything in between.

Here?s Tunnel Rat, a dirty muddy soldier , and all around badass:

Well done. Love the simplicity, dirt and mud splatter are spot on. The weapon change is much needed. Tunnel rat looks really good.

Isn't that G.I. Joe in the middle?

Love it Slice! I always thought that big ass backpack and that big ass gun his ARAH figure came with was unrealistic for a guy crawling through tunnels.

Now, that's Tunnel Rat. Too bad the big H couldn't make one this good.

I swear you have been saving up! Even when it's updates! It's like a tidal wave of awesome since your return! Love how gritty this T-Rat looks. Super cool my man!

Laughing at when you previously said you couldn?t figure out who dropped more figures off the assembly line quicker, Axon or myself.....then you are over here rapid firing guys out!

Totally badass Tunnel Rat! One of my favorites ever since the 86 movie. Love how grimy you made him, great head choice and fantastic idea to switch him over to a shot gun! Awesome trio you have right there!

I really like how you updated tr slice. The detailing is great and the paint is very very sharp.
