Here are pics of an early JvC version of Lowlight. I'm sure you've seen a similar combination of parts before, but when it works, it works. I still have some sculpting to do, and of course all the paint and a few add-ons. This one has been on my desk over a year, so I figure I better get on the stick and get him finished so I can move on to Flint , Copperhead, and a JvC Interrogator.

Once again another great custom! The only minor problem I think this figure has is that the crotch is colored green like the lower legs. I think it should be colored black, with the belt colored green instead. Then you have the best one.

Cool Alyosha, just down the road from you in Arlington, cool to see customizers from the same area!

nice work...
but I wonder if you try to used the original colors?
theres nothing like the original colors..

but still the figure looks cool..
how about if you try to paint it black?

later.

I deliberately chose those parts, because he can do a prone sniper position extremely well now. I made a couple of small mods to the torso to allow the head to rotate back into prone shooting position as well. I am going to change the angle of the hold-out gun on his chest (and make it larger) and add maybe one more ammo clip. I am also going to try to cut the rifle down a bit and add a mod or two to it.

head-Chief Torpedo (I'm going to add a strap to the goggles, just had to wait on the Milliput to set)
chest-Barrel Roll (need to sculpt the edge around the padding so it will match the kneepads)
arms-Barrel Roll
waist-Duke
thighs-Firefly
feet-Duke
bpack-Zartan
PSG-1 rifle-Lanard

Paint is going to be reminiscent of the original with 3 different greys, and black & red trim with silver highlights.

Sweet job!

I just finish mine using only the same chest and arms. My lowlight head came from shipwreck I love the way the goat tee looks. I will have mine at the show. I'm also done with copperhead who will be at the show with me too :D
