Falcon was actually a diificult custom to make because Hasbro had done such an outstanding job with the original mold and the accessories that came with Falcon V1. The biggest thing that I wanted to change with Falcon was his camoflage pattern. I also wanted to give him an alternative weapon to the shotgun that came with Falcon V1 because I felt that he needed a weapon with more rounds and that was silenced for covert operations.

Very cool. Love the panit aps. Makes the 25th version look like crap.

Agreed. Nice idea for the baret patch and that camo is fantastic! Excellent work!

Yikes, that camo pattern really does put the 25th figure to shame. Nice work.

Is that simply hand-painted camo? If so: bravo. (regardless: bravo) What technique did you use in terms of laying it out and applying the colors in layers?

The camo does look good. I might have used a different color brown on the sheath to break up the colors a little but that is a preference thing. Otherwise that figure is very solid all around. What is the black thing on his right hip?

That is indeed hand painted camo. I start out with flat black as the base coat. Then I add the light grey, the tan and then the dark green. I have no idea if it resembles any other camo pattern, I wanted a tiger-stripe type of camo that could be uses in urban, night and jungle environemnts. I actually used that pattern and camo pattern on Stalker and Scarlett as well.

The knife sheath could use a different color, possibly in the future I will get back to changing it. As far as the black thing on the hip, it is a BBi radio. It is hard to see from anything other than a side shot, of which I do not have one.
