I had a spare Duke because... just because, and I decided to do something unique with him. NIGHT FORCE!
Here he is next to a Viper I had to restore (I say had to because, uhhhhh...) (Yeah, '02 plastic hit different I guess). I think I did an OK job, but the shoulders just didn't want paint to keep no matter how much I sanded. I might could try again but I dunno at this point. As you can see, his eye has been repainted. This was not fun. I lost the QC lottery on him so I kinda had to repaint his face. In certain lighting conditions, the eye's more noticeably painted on than the other one since it's a slightly different colour (Tamiya NATO Brown) but I don't think it's too bad. Speaking of Tamiya, everything here sans the silver parts and the flesh on the chest are painted using Tamiya paints. The shirt's Flat Black mixed with Flat Blue, the pants are Flat Black mixed with Gloss Black. The silver is Citadel Stormhost Silver, my beloved. The paint isn't the cleanest. At some points, the paint leaked under the masking tape. At other points, I used too much masking tape and covered up some of the bare plastic. Oops. Action pose!

And here we have Duke, looking all smug in his new Night Force uniform, trying to seduce some native girl he "rescued" (after she revived him) whilst bragging on the special helmet that keeps his haircut safe when he's chasing down one-legged Vipers and other enemies that only he can catch.
I happen to like the new look for him. It makes sense and looks effective. Nicely done. |

The diagonal bandolier gets a bit lost against the black shirt, but it also gives this Duke an even more unique look.
Well done. |

Thank you very much!
Maybe I should go back to pick that out in a slightly lighter colour; I was kinda going for a more stealthy look but perhaps that might have made it look a bit too boring. :P

I say it’s your call. He is a good looking Duke just as he is!
