Great figure painting, those leopard spots are great. You must have the eyes of a hawk to do them so well.

These should be close to the last build photos. I have finished all of the rigging and painted it a steel color. All that is left is adding smoke and mirror Turnbuckles where appropriate and final weathering, rigging, and clear coat/s.

I really like this, Rick.  The base really sets it off, too.
Great job!

Thanks for all of the Positive comments Guys! This will be the last photo of the figure before all is put together on the base. Major painting is done. Just a tiny bit of touch up and shading and a wee bit on the goggles.

Love it Rick, those leopard spot gloves look so real and full of texture. The final reveal must be close, looking forward to it!
