I've done of lot of desert-themed figures lately and wanted to do a half-step away from the tans and browns. So I decided on a tannish green and brownish green camo pattern.

I've also done lots of camouflage made up of small pattern areas and decided to go with very large areas instead, like Stalker's camo in the cartoon.

For the parts selection, I went with mostly older parts. The Clutch chest disguised pretty well with the use of the camo pattern, too.

My favorite part of this figure was the head. I picked out the Thunder head because it fit well with the Clutch chest. When I first painted it, it just looked like Thunder. Then it occurred to me that perhaps some male pattern baldness and a mustache would alter the appearance. A few sunspots on the scalp helped, too.

What do you think of the large size camouflage? Too large or is it effective?

Wow that's pretty cool! Excellent work. I don't think I'd have recognized that head, you did some really smart modification to it, and you did it well.

I like the camo too. It's different from what we normally see in here - and there's nothing wrong with that at all. I think it's effective.

Great work!

Nice mod on the head and a great figure overall.

You matched the art perfectly. Makes for a great looking figure.

The figure is great, and the camo works-don't change a thing.

I'm also impressed with the artwork. I would love to see more of it.
