Holy.
I finished it.
This is probably the best fig I've ever made. So much work went into him. I based my Simon Riley off of multiple variations of him, with some creative license along the way; He's mostly meant to be based off the version from this screenshot, where you can see the bley shirt, multicam legs, black shapes near his cuffs, Brit arm insignias, and more that went into this guy. Obviously I added a tac vest, which he of course shows up in in other variations. I really should've sponged on dark bley on the light bley to achieve the speckled shirt that you can see in that reference pic before I started sculpting. Oh well. I like him like this.
Now, I know the English flags on his shoulders would be in a grayscale if I wanted to be super accurate, but doing them in color gave me a chance to show off how tiny I can paint :3
Yes those are quickmag pouches. Yes I should have cleaned up the black/bley transition on the middle one. Yes I sculpted one then casted them. And yes I am satisfied with them.
THE MULTICAM. I think this is one of the best camos I have ever painted. Real Multicam is a really interesting pattern--The initial and secondary color (darker tan and OD) are over the base tan in an unusual way. You see, parts of the darker tan and OD blobs blend out into the base color, while other parts of the blobs have very defined, contrasting edges. This made it incredibly difficult to reproduce, making utilization of paint washing in a small area crucial, and I'm not sure how successful I was. The dark brown and very light tan upper 'dot' colors were pretty easy, since they have entirely well-defined edges. But I have never put more work into camouflage. There's 5 and a half hours in those legs, easily.
Also that's why I didn't pouch and tacticool them up. I'm too egotistical and didn't want to cover my multicam :3
Oh and the headset is removable. It only requires a small notch cut into the top of the stud on a minifigs head. Doesn't interfere with hat-wearing (obviously when the headset is off) at all.
Oh and this is for Commander Wolffe's contest.
Please enjoy. I don't think I've ever put more effort into a fig. Your feedback and criticism is extremely appreciated, as are faves since faving means you like the photo enough to want to see it again :) Thanks much, and please enjoy!!
