I modelled the body of a Neca Nathan Drake, cutting out from the shirt some parts and the gunholster. I took off the shoes and replaced them with bare feets made out of green stuff (modelling the feets - a thing that I had never done before - was the hardest part of this custom... Just why aren't there almost any 1:12 figures with bare feets out there???). I drilled out the sleeves of the shirt and used sand paper on the arms. The head comes from a Marvel Select Butch Coolidge figure, to which I added some hair with green stuff and repainted it competely to match the remaining body's color. I used Butch's "famous" watch for my John McClane. Painted everything you can see all over, using Citadel colors and Tamiya Panel liner black paint to make the dirt. Ipainted the tattoo on the left arm and modelled a pocket on the back of the trousers with green stuff to host the radio (which comes from another set that I don't remember). I used both Nathan's weapons, swapping the belt from the kalasnikov to the uzi, and making a small hole in the back of the shirt to host the pistol. If you extract the pistol, the hole disappears because the soft plastic is still there (you can see this in one of the pics). Finished all off with acrylic matte spray.   Please wait... |
