For the next build, I want to thank Badgrendels for the subject kit:


A quick look at the sprues for the fully poseable figure





First stage of the build was the upper torso and head



The legs were completed not too long after that



A good choice of weapons is given


Okay, minus the hands, construction is finished here. Backpack is finished and installed onto the guy's back



For final loadout, I chose the long rifle with bipod.
I drybrushed the gun and parts of the pack with silver to bring out details
The details were finished with a combination of grey paint and kit supplied decals.

After a coat of sealer, I gave the whole model a black wash, wiping off most of the excess for a very weathered effect.

Moved this to Sci-Fi because I figured it fit here better

Nice! This kit looks good enough you don't even really need to paint it for display, other than a little wash. I can't wait for mine to arrive.

 

[Quaralane]

Yeah, the wash was only to dirty him up.
Looks pretty sharp right out of the box.

Thanks, Cave_Dweller

Wow. That makes a really nice out of the box display. Your simple weathering gives it that extra pop. Very nicely done.

 

[Quaralane]

Thank you, Hagoth

Looks cool Q. Nice one to add to your collection (which must be rather huge)

 

[Quaralane]

Thanks, Scott.
And, yes, the collection's getting big.
May have to start paring things down a bit soon
