Nothing too special; just an unpainted figure. A little bit of sculpt work on the sleeves and torso, cast head... I simply post it for the sheer length of time it took to get this far. I've been working on this little guy for close to a year now, suffering sculpting problems, cast issues... I'm really having problems with the casting...
So yeah, this is Cross Hair. One of the new group created for Spy Troops, he was always one of my favorites growing up. Tried to remain true with the hat and sleeves, yet work with the base figure (Pit Trooper [which I still say sounds like a villanous character {especially since there is a type of snake known as a Pit Viper}]) without too much alteration. I'll update as I get paints done. Just as a side note: Is there anyone out there with some casting experience they'd like to share? I'm trying to engineer a new toy, and am having a dickens of a time getting parts reproduced.

Update. Here's the figure with the base colors down. Now, you might notice that some parts are unpainted; especially obvious is the head. Those are areas that I think will more than likely get spill-over when I do the drybrush stage, so I leave them unpainted for now, then later I'll go back in, put down a base and then a wash. That's all for now, and thanks for looking...

I'm liking it, always nice to see the progression. How about a reference pic at some point?

Hey, thanks!
Yeah, Spy Troops Cross Hair. Image ripped from Amazon; the little patch of red to the right is C.L.A.W.S. Commander.

I approve so far. I believe this will be one of the only 25th style updates of Crosshair, so I'm interested to see how it turns out.
