ARAH Flint, with a little Retaliation action

[MMorelock66]

I really do like the headsculpt for Retaliation Flint, only problem is. The figure looks horrible. So I wanted to use that head, and make a more ARAH based Flint. Whenever the ultimate version comes out, this guy will probably get the back seat to a more modern version.

There ya go, marine!

 

[Slaymaker]

Looks great, Matt...my only question is why does he have shotgun shells all over his webgear and not carrying a shotgun? That is something I really have been focusing on lately is making the figures kit and weapons match as much as I can.

Yup.

First official "Hey Marine! What the fuck!?" post.

He looks great, Matt, and I have to agree with Slaymaker.

Also, I know the Shock Trooper sculpt is more to blame, but only the center part of the knee is actually the knee pad, as they're integrated knee pads. The area surrounding it is actually the pants and should be painted the same. Again, the sculpt causes the area surrounding the actual knee pad to look like part of the knee pad, and thank God they did a better job with the Ultimate Duke's knees than the Shock Troopers, but it's just a little nitpick.

Here are some examples of the integrate knee pads:

 

[MMorelock66]

Haha. I have a shotgun for him and everything, but I just wanted to go ahead and get this guy on here.

And thanks Cloud! I'll probably paint the pants to accurately show the knee pads

 

[Cloud Strife]

No problem, Matt! Heck, if you can hold out for the Ultimate Duke, you can get those knees which look a lot better.

I like it!...but I knew I would before I opened the thread...I mean, it has ARAH I the title!

Yup.

I thought that was Ricks inclusion of a gas mask pouch on his second contest entry?

 

[K-Tiger]

I think it should be used whenever essential kit is missing, or when guns and ammo pouches don't jive.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I'm gonna throw stuff that doesnt fit just to test you all

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Weapons and loadouts matching? WTF????

Looks good, Matt.

 

[K-Tiger]

It's a scary concept for some folks.

But yeah, otherwise it looks great. Wish I could get that realistic skin look.

 

[Cloud Strife]

What green did you use for the camo?

 

[MMorelock66]

Testors model master Olive drab!

 

[Cloud Strife]

Did you give it a wash? It looks a lot darker than Olive Drab.

 

[MMorelock66]

I didn't. When I get off work I'll check the bottle to see it's actual name.

 

[MMorelock66]

Just checked, it's called green drab.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Thanks!

 

[MMorelock66]

Thanks!

No problem! Thanks to you for pointing me in the direction of Model Masters

 

[Monkeywrench]

Looking Good Matt!

You're welcome! It definitely helps to have good quality paints. They are pricier than most other, if not all other brands, but they're worth it, IMO. Glad you dig them!

True, which I work with a very limited color scheme. So I save

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Looks awesome! I'm with Eddie, I don't give a damn about the load-out matching up, especially on ARAH figures! I mean hell, they don't even make pouches for laser... cartridges?

I'm still partial to the 5-pack Flint's shotgun with the working pump, but I can't think of any other figure it's come with... That'd be perfect for him.

 

[MMorelock66]

Added a new picture for you fuckers.

You didn't fix the knee pads....what fuck?!

















:trollface:

:trollface:

That I didn't. I'm just going to use them as full knee pads. I have another custom using the same legs, those will be painted appropriately.

 

[K-Tiger]

Well, at least now he has the proper type of weapon. :trollface:


*fer cereal, someone needs to do some proper fucking classic shotguns*

[K-Tiger]

Nope, none of that sawed-off or pistol grip bullshit need apply.

 

[MMorelock66]

I have that shotgun. Only problem is, the handle is too damn big!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

*fer cereal, someone needs to do some proper fucking classic shotguns*

Full on wooden stock, double barrel, double hammers/triggers kinda classic...

 

[K-Tiger]

I wasn't gonna go that classic, but the more the merrier.

[Rick]

Nice work. good gritty feel

camouflage looks sweet, but agree on the knee pad as part of the pants.

Hope I see some of those new updated troopers retail. my stores suck

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

:drum:

I assumed you did that on purpose since "whatdaf*@#" guy pointed out that exact thing in one of his reviews...
