Joe Pineapples in the flesh/chrome

Nearly there now. Pretty pleased with how his bodyworks come out and the rest of it is a doddle to paint, being simple blocks of colour:

And the rest are being painted seperately:

As the kit is based on the Bisley version, i was going to go with the logo/slogan-adorned rifle, but (A) he's holding it upside down, (B) i don't want anything too bright that'd distract from Joe.
So am going with a brutal, hrash, plain gunmetal as a contrast to him.

"The rest" being knee joint ligature cables showing from between armor yes? And the front of the neck?

So Cammando Forces and Pete Wells do you want your Joe's the same as max's or do you envision something else? I was gonna do 'em different but up to you guys?

So, here's Joe the one-armed bandit standing up:

The next step of attaching the gun and left arm i was kinda nervous about as its a bit of a whopper, but the arm fits so snug due to have a locating pin built in and i used nearly set Araldite, that it were a doddle:

All done now.
Cameras lying about the colours, as there's more going on there than it would have you believe, but it just doesn't like mettalics.
Real pleased how the fellas come out and he really does stand out on the shelf he's guarding.

Looks excellent!

By the way, what do you mean when you say

Quotedo you want your Joe's the same as max's or do you envision something else?

Do you mean the colours?

Bugger, bugger and thrice times bugger. It ain't finished at all - left the blummin' bullet belt off

CM, think the Captain's wanting to know your thoughts on body armour and jacket colours

COMMANDO FORCES · 28 July, 2011, 08:46:03 PM

I'm happy with any ideas he comes up with
