It's been a while since I have posted something new as I have been busy with some other projects that are not model-related and with spending quality time with my grandson.
This figure has been in the works for a while and I have changed him a couple of times. Originally he had a different head and was going to be carrying an M16 in his right hand, but I later decided that I wanted to depict him getting ready to talk on the radio. I have several ideas as to how I will use him in a vignette or diorama, but for now I will just concentrate on working on this figure. He is a conversion of a couple of Bravo 6 figures with a Hornet head that I have modified a bit, arms from First Legion, and right hand from Bravo 6. I sculpted the claymore bag of M16 magazines with Magic Sculpt.
I think he looks better this way than how he looked with the other head that I had put on him. I will be including an RTO with this figure and may even have some other figures in a group that he is facing and speaking to. I just need to see what develops. Most people probably come up with a plan and then do their figures. More often than not, I usually come up with a pretty cool figure conversion and then develop the scene around that figure. It might be a bit backwards, but it seems to work for me...sometimes.
Well, I am going to get back to work figuring out which figures are going to be accompanying this figure in a vignette or diorama.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers,
Jamee
