25th Firefly WIP (closer to original)

While the new Firefly is very nice and brings lots of cool features, the all sweater look isn't quite right. Here's an attempt to bring him closer to the jump-suit wearing saboteur we all know:

Here he is with the gear we're still trying to fit around his torso:

We plan on using the comic pack head, since he looks more menacing than the 25th version.

Thanks for the replies guys

This thing is delayed due to holidays, school, and Call of Duty 4

Anyways, so far the cammo came out like this. I'm undetermined on the result and would like some feed back.

The straps are also going to be different and homemade with the attachments and grenades added to it later....

Actually the straps aren't too bad. Maybe add a coat of paint to dull them a bit. Then add pouches and such, and you'll be good to go!

Thank you, TR101AL :-D

What do you think of the colors? I thought that the grey is too dark and then too light. I guess it's fine?

This might just be me, but I would sharpen the lines more. I always remember him with the old style camo pattern where each color didn't bleed like todays camo patterns do.

Also your colors look to be off some, but that might be the picture. I would suggest a naval sea grey for the light grey, if you know what I mean. The dark grey looks good, but might be a bit dark. Would have to see it with the new light grey, but for I could tell for sure.

Looks great so far though.

Nice job he has that V1 feel to he looks great but ya next time ya might want to take the arms apart and sand the joints to keep from chipping my man. ;-)

I can dig it.
I have the same comments on the colors as the others, but it's really such a minor thing.

Latest update:

Firefly's harness is pretty much done. Several parts of his 25th Anniversary gear were mounted onto the elastic harness. I'm very happy that the lower half of the harness hides the torso joint without messing with the articulation.

Haven't re-touched the paint apps yet, but first he'll get all the joints sanded down to minimize on the paint chipping. We'll try to work some blue into the dark grey, that should help him match his original card art!

I like him your did a great job on him ,but I think that p90 is missing a TR1ER sling! :shifty:

That turned out great! Get a really nice feel of the original character from him. Great job.
