I wanted to give Lift Ticket a bit of a face lift to remove that horrendous expression he had. I carved down his face and used Green Stuff to sculpt a new mouth. I maintained a bit of a sneer, which I think is considerably better than the stoned look he was manufactured with. I'm not completely thrilled with how it turned out, but I felt it wasn't too bad for my first attempt at reconstructive surgery.
While I was at it, I added a lot of paint detail to him, and to his vest in particular. I've got a pet peeve against sculpted holsters/sheaths, so I felt he needed a removable sidearm. Yes, I realized after the fact that it's placed in what is essentially an impossible position from which to draw the weapon smoothly. I'm ok with that. He's a pilot that looked drunk when I started this project...I bet he can't even shoot very well in the first place. |

Good job on that. That nice, crisp detailing really adds to that figure. The plastic surgery on the face turned out good too.

Thanks for the feedback. I forgot to mention I also covered up those terrible red joints. This guy was seriously goofy looking out of the box!
