Figures Undertow by CrazyLegs44

CrazyLegs44 · 10-09-2024, 02:53 PM

I picked up the SDCC version of Danger at the Docks a few years ago and did not know how to use the Eel. I have lots of 25th Eels and they are pretty much perfect, so the red and black one got stored away and kinda forgotten. I found it again recently and it occurred to me that the colors work really well for Iron Grenadiers. I added the cast parts from AVACs Lab and made sure to not modify or paint any of the Eel. That way, I can restore it to its original look in minutes. I hope you like it!

Parts:
Head: 25th Firefly?
Torso, arms and legs: 50th SDCC Eel
Mask and breather: AVAC cast

Very nice.

A lot of your workl is lost in the photograph because everything is dark. If you hold light behind a sheet of paper it will diffuse the brightness and bring out the detail. If you're so inclined.

Thanks, that is great feedback. I will adjust my lighting to make my shots brighter.

Nice!!! I always wanted to use that breather/vest piece on my Club undertows, but never got around to it. Maybe I will now after seeing this. Thanks.

Great job!
Prefer the black/red color combo for Iron Grenadiers as opposed to the gray/red/green of the vintage Undertow.
