I'm working on a project for a guy who loves Tunnel Rat. He sent me the 1987 figure and accessories and asked if I'd make an 8 inch version. I know Sigma 6 TR doesn't pop up on a lot of favorite lists, but I think I like this project! ;)

Here are pics with the sculpting done...do-rag, hair, bandanna.

Tried my hand at dying a figure for the first time...

Really happy with the results! I only needed to touch up areas where extra paint was applied to the figure at the factory, like the fingers, kneepads, and inner thighs. I'd do it again. ;)

Here's the figure with basic paint apps. Still needs touched up and details:

that dye looks great! The paint on the chest is a spot on match too.

Thanks! The green I used is actually a LOT darker than the original figure, but it's hard to tell in the picture. The guy likes it, tho, so it's all good. ;)

That is looking pretty good, I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks when it's finished up.

What kind of dye are you using I thought all dye needed to be boiled and then have the pieces dropped in it, but yours looks like you just put it in a tub.

I used RIT liquid dye. i was afraid to put the figure in a boiling pot of dye...and didn't feel like ruining my cookware...so I put some dye in a ceramic bowl and added the boiling water...Also before I put the figure in, I poured boiling water over the figure, too. I guessed if it's soft going in, it'll soak up the dye even better. I also found that you can nuke the dye...just tried it for short periods. I don't know if I'd be brave enough to nuke the powdered dye, tho.
