Stalker is my sixth member of the
G.I. Joe team finished, and my eighth
G.I. Joe Project mini in all. He is a character I like a lot in the comics, probably because he was in the first
G.I. Joe story I read (which was a reprint of the American stuff).
Although the pictures have washed out most of my highlighting on
Stalker, I am reasonably happy with how he turned out. I decided against painting a camo stripe pattern as the base green colour is quite dark, and I opted for a fairly light contrast with his webbing and backpack. I started Stalker before
Jinx, but finished the latter first which is pretty typical for me.
I have a few other members of the
G.I. Joe team underway, and I hope to finish at least two or three more before the end of the month;
Brummie and I have provisionally set early August for our first
Squad Wars play-test. I have being prepping lots of materials for the opening games and I am looking forward to seeing if things work as I want them to.

ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. :)
DeleteNot the best of the group, but reasonably happy with him. :)
You really are cranking these GI Joe minis out, PulpCitizen. Are you sure that isn't a super-power of yours? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI fully expect a slowdown at some point, don't worry! :)
DeleteNice, really enjoying the retro stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks JamieM, me too. :)
DeleteAnother iconic Joe.
ReplyDeleteI think you made the right choice with this simple scheme, it really makes him look the part.
Nicely done, once again!
Thanks very much Wouter. :)
DeleteNo idea who he is, but he looks good. :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Kieron. :)
DeleteIn Action Force terms think Z Force and Jammer. :)
Great one character!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal. :)
DeleteLooks great dude!
ReplyDeleteCheers mate. :)
DeleteI can still make out the highlights but I understand your frustrations. I hate it when a piece looks really great to the naked eye then looks completely crap under non-photography lighting. My cheap Ikea lamps sometimes make everything look yucky but then again I need to take better photos. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks FEM. :)
DeleteI definitely need better lights and a better camera, but that will have to wait until i can afford them. :)
