Hi gang,
Nothing complected I'm afraid..

Just a simple head swap for Trooper McDonald here,

upon closer inspection, the tone of the flesh colour paint I used makes his hands look a tad sun burnt

But they don't look quite as bad from this angle

the hands look bigger in the first photo...
they look more like brown gloves in the second...
not bad though...

I like the natural hands - looks right. Perhaps I'll try some of my figures with no gloves.

Yeah, the hands need re-painting a lighter shade to match the the face better..as for the hands looking bigger, take a look @ the original

the flesh colour applications have the same effect on that figure too

.
I was thinking of painting only his fingers & thumbs, leaving his palms & the back of his hands black, for a sort of fingerless gloves effect...but my painting skills are very rusty, maybe you could give that a go to Red Baron?
I'm pleased with the face scar.

Oh, that is another very good idea. I will have to give that one a go at some point T'shot. I've been trying to finish a Q-Force Pilot for ages now, but I'm hoping he'll soon be finished. Also have a couple of SAS in progress myself.

Cool looking figure, great idea with the fingerless gloves too.
May have to try that one out.
