Hey gang - like any custom I do, I?m always seeking to make modern versions of vintage outfits and paint schemes as much as possible. A 50% off sale of the Tiger Force recondo seemed too good to pass up in trying to achieve his vintage look. Here are several angles of my custom paint job, with several tweaks:
- trimmed off most of the extra plastic surrounding his machete sheath - drilled a backpack hole a bit lower than the existing one - Cut a strap off of the chest holster and moved the holster itself higher and at the angle of the vintage figure - added the handle to the top of his backpack - are used a piece of material similar to the loin cloth for my spirit custom to make boot wrappings - painted his entire outfit the colors of the original figure, followed by a light brown wash Last edited by Daigobah; 04-22-2023 at 07:56 PM.. |
