SDCC HISSTank driver Shockwave

[starwarsgeek]

Finally got this guy finished... felt like forever. I'll be posting him to eBay shortly, but if you're interested in purchasing him, feel free to hit me up with an offer.

This is a custom that I created from a kit (available on my webstore [/shameless plug]) that was sent to me by Dark Horse. This is a kit that DH created to be the driver for the SDCC HISSTank, and is meant to be a GI Joe sized Shockwave.

Are the parts CAST in matching purple to the T-V?!

 

[starwarsgeek]

They are not, sadly. I did cast them in purple, but it wasn't quite right. The purple tint that I use is clear, so it needs to be mixed with white tint, which causes it to be more lavender-y than purple, and the more tint I put in, the worse the mix gets. On top of that, it's actually 2 different mixes of 2 different plastics - a rigid plastic for the head and fist/hand and a more flexible plastic for the vest and gun/hand...

I was gonna be quite amazed honestly...purple, I've found, is the hardest color to match no matter the medium...
