The bloodiest guy I've done so far!By all accounts, this guy shouldn't be standing!
Talk about a need for medical insurance...
This one started out as most things do, totally by
accident. This began as my kitbashed SWAT sniper. He was using the old
21st C uniform & gear. I hate the way the uniform fit on him (baggy),
so one day I decided to fatten him up by gluing foam onto his legs,
arms, & torso. Padding, as it were. It had mediocre results, but I
just left him on display. Some time later, on a boring Sunday
afternoon, I decide to do something with the figure, I forget what, &
began to remove the uniform & foam ... I dropped it & the leg broke
off. So, I was about to scrap it when I got the idea that the areas
the foam were glued down on looked like wounds, one thing led to
another, & voila!
I initially wanted to do a zombie of some sort, but
absentmindedly began to weather a woodland uniform. I just wanted to
mention, especially when we have soldier getting killed overseas, that
I don't mean this figure to be any sort of disrespect to them or to
make light of their sacrifices. It was just an exercise in a new gore
technique, like a movie makeup person would do.
