Hi everyone, hope you all have a nice Christmas.
I wanna share my latest work, it is a figure that i finished after three years of being left in the bottom of a dark desk drawer.
It is a conversion of an old Tamiya figure, just to resemble an Argentinian Marine during an landing exercise somewhere in the southern patagonian coastal line.
The lifevest and the backpack were made of two component epoxi and aluminum foil.
The helmet straps, as well as the M16 and the AT4 straps, were made of aluminum foil too.
The base is scratchbuilt with real little pebbles and Noch foliage to simulate the seaweed.
Everything was painted with acrylics.
Hope you like it!
Thanks for watching.

You've taken a rather dull figure and turned it into something truly unique. I have never seen this figure look so good.

Thanks for your concepts, Paul.
Cheers!
