Continuing to post past customs for the new custom guidelines, I decided that it would be cool to re visit the very first custom I ever finished and posted on the tank. This custom was allot if firsts for me. It wasn't just my first custom, but it was also my first attempt with sculpting with green stuff and custom fabricating gear. I have to admit that I didn't know what the hell I was doing. hahaha! Using parts from a joe green shirt and a spare Resolute Duke, I spent hours finding the best methods to get the results.
His balaclava and turtle neck were sculpted by rolling out pieces of green stuff, cutting them into thin strips and carefully laying them on the green shirt head and neck until it resembled the balaclava and turtleneck from the cartoon. I wanted to get it to look as close to the cartoon as I possibly could. For the vest I cut the lower back pouch and the three ammo pouches on the front. Using green stuff I arranged the pouches to match the BH from the movie and filled in any gaps that were left open. Even though I took allot of risks for a beginner, I was happy with the end result. Hope you guys like it! Recipe: Head & Torso- TRU 5 pk greenshirt (mask & neck sculpted w/ green stuff) Arms & Legs- Resolute Duke Gear- Resolute Duke (sculpted with green stuff)

Unreal. This isn't a custom, it's a work of art.

Pretty awesome, I like the look of the seams on the balaclava, it really is pretty cool looking and matches the animation well.
Great job. It's always a highlight to see your customs. |
