Private Military Contractor

Project I threw together for the Great Texas GI Joe Show in March, 2007. The head sculpt is a modified BBI sculpt. I began by casting the original in resin, and "shaved" his head. I them reshaped the nose and added a moustache and soul patch. The M4 has a Duostock scratchbuilt from styrene.

Marine Project

My latest project began with a BBI G3.5 body, and thinned the chest by 8mm. I re-dyed a Toy Soldier flight suit from the Jeff Gregorvic set with tan RIT dye. I shadowed the seams with Prisma Color and Copic art pens. The head sculpt is a repainted BBI offering. I use a base coat of Americana artist acryllics thinned with Testors Acryl thinner. The shading is done with artist pastels, fixed with Testor's Dull Coat.
