This one isn't very original, but I've wanted a DDP-style shipwreck in my collection for quite a while, and I've seen several Tankers make great customs using the Beachhead body. This is pretty much a direct copy of a custom by Rateeg seen here.
I did a bit of modding to the Beachhead body - I cut off the timebombs on the left thigh and replaced them with a trimmed-down knife sheath. I also sanded off the knife that's sculpted into the right boot, since Shippy here has a real sheath for his. This was my first try using washes to darken the color on a figure, and I'm reasonably pleased with the results. The flash shows how inconsistent the paint app was - especially on the sweater, but in ambient light it looks great. I think I did roughly a 1:1 ratio of black paint and water - does that sound about right?

This looks great! The dark washes really bring out the texture of the sweater.

First time mistake. You way, WAY overdid it with the wash. A wash is meant to flow into the recesses only to provide the illusion of shadow. This looks like a sloppy coat of black which was meant to cover the other colors but didn't. You'll want to add more water as well as a drop of dish soap to cut the surface tension and improve capillary action. You also want to only apply the wash to the recesses and not just slather it over the figure.
