Duke : A Real American Renegade

[BL4CK5H33P]

Just ur basic BL4CK5H33P departure from the Ren/30th Duke that Hasbro gave us...

Cool! What's the jacket from?

 

[BL4CK5H33P]

Thnx Midget - jacket is from a Shadowrun 6" female fig (it was a real short styled vest - it stopped just below her ribcage & she was super skinny - so it scaled very well w/ 4") then I grafted rear packs & belt from a Marvel Crossbones onto it... vest & belts are removable as 1 piece

I like how his face is dirty. Most just weather the clothes.

That actually started as a "happy accident" - my paint wash tub had dirty wash water in it & spilled on my workbench - by the time I had cleaned everything up 1/2 of that head had gotten an accidental "dirty" wash that had dried already - so I just added to the effect...

For folks who like to tinker they should do this, but hey way to make lemonade outta lemons!

When I did my WWII USMCWR Lady Jaye I dirtied her skin a bit. It is an overlooked section of weathering. *nods*

It could be done in temporary fashion too. If you dont want to permanantly dirty them. Ash has many uses.

 

[BL4CK5H33P]

I've use ashes to dirty fabric pieces on customs B4 - but the idea of temporary use is genius!

Yep washes if not brushes right off and it works good on vehicles too.

Great paint apps and colors. He looks good and rugged. I love it when an accident works in your favor. It's a rarity, but when it does it is sweet.

Man, all the parts from all the different lines. Nice work.

Great idea about the ash! I've started dirtying the skin up, but like the idea of cleaning off. I will also dip my figs in sand before some of my dios to get rid of the shine.

 

[xhairs]

very cool job man.

 

[snakeling]

Yeah I put down a nice layer of ash for my "Deadly duo" shot, and I think it helped a lot. Though I should of put it all over the base of that set up too.
