The beret might make a diff.

He had one in his parts bin. I know the beret doesnt look good, but you get the idea.

I'm gonna stick with it, I'll repaint mine in a week or so.

I like the nice bright blue eyes on that Duke. Flint looks great too, though I definitely get the Punisher vibe mentioned earlier. Neither are terrible sculpts, obviously, but anything fueled by nostalgia is definitely eye of the beholder material. Which is great, imo. Gonna hit your Flint up again tonight, 1KM and get that out to you asap. Should've had it out with Goldy.

Dont get me wrong. Im keeping the Flint head, I just prefer the one MANDO is painting for me. But, I have the choice of changing heads. Like Firefly.

Whoa. I was just on that wavelength. And it is great most of the time.

Don't worry about it bro. You can't rush art.

Anyone checkout this amazing repaint by nikoniko at OSW?...

 

[Skiman]

That looks pretty ace Val, but did he give him some eye shadow, I might of went a little darker in those areas.

WAAAAAY better than the SSC non lifeless paintup

That reminds me I need to repaint the hair and eyes on my Duke, I'll probably hit it up whenever I get Flint out for a repaint.

That repaint is pretty badass!

I have the head 1KM's going to use for Flint but its not the SSC one. Eventually I've got to get the Flint head though, but its for somethig else entirely.

Not digging the eyeshadow and liverspots.

Thanks for the kind words (from some) on the Duke repaint, and thanks Val for posting here (was getting around to doing it). That's a pretty crappy Iphone pic I posted, and is really magnified so the "eye shadow" and "liver spots" may seem more prominent. No eyeshadow was applied - the area around the eyes was kept a little a lighter (it only looks blue in the pic). And the "liver spots" are just some mottling/freckling added to give a little texture and depth to the sculpt - Sideshow unfortunately still sculpts figures with smooth skin, thus lacking the texture that catches light and depth (like DID, HT). I was going for a battle weary, slight sunburned (and maybe a little raccoon-eye tanned) look for Duke after a hard day outdoors kicking Cobra butt. This is my fifth headsculpt repaint so I'm still learning and trying new things. I also did some mods to Duke's body, and replaced his paints with a roomier replacement (didn't like the skinny jean look he came with). I also color matched his arms and neck to match the HS repaint. I'll post some better pics when everything is done.

Here's another crappy Iphone pic:
