My 1st 25th custom, Tunnel Rat

Taliesin Crow · **Posted:** Fri Dec 21, 2007 11:08 am

Just noticed when I uploaded the pix that I need to touch up the black on a couple of spots on his legs but here's my first 25th custom.

He is an update of my new sculpt TR seen here

Comments, suggestions, hate mail all welcome.

Thanks for looking!

Great looking pants. Great likeness too. My only complaint is his pistol isn't silver. Oh and I counted the number of bullets on his chest, and you are way off.

:lol:

I actually like the new-sculpt one best. The 25th is WAY too tall. That said- good work on him.

Nice work T.C.
I don't see how the Hasbro version ( If they make one) could be any better.

Looks very good TC, I really like the ammo belts on the torso.

Thanks guys,

Jfak, yeah I liked the new sculpt too because he was so short, but needed the parts off of him for the 25th version since I'm clearing out all my new sculpt, he had to be sacrificed. Any tips on how to make him shorter would be much appreciated.

HH, I plan on painting that pistol silver, but theres nothing I can do about the number of bullets cause the 25th torso is much skinnier than the rah version :rotfl:

Joe, I really hope the big H makes a TR but find a way to make him shorter

Thanks for all your feedback guys!

Looks good TC. I like his gadgets, but the old gun should be replaced with a smaller.

Plus they are not the same calibur bullets...

awesome work TC.. Looks really great. To make him shorter, you could trim out a bit from his legs (bottom of his pants and the top part of his thighs above the holster). I can definitely see H using this to make their own. :twisted:

Cool Thanks Ash, I'll have to try that.

What I would do, to shorten him, is cut the torso at the waist then grind down the torso about 3/16" and reattach. BA's leg mod is a good idea too.

If I do both the waist and leg mods that should get him down to just about the right height.
Thanks again guys, I'll work on him while I'm off over the next 5 days.

Looks great!

I'd like to see it next to another 25th figure for perspective before I'd call it too tall.

I like it man, captured the likness spot on.

Great work, TC. Looking forward to seeing him after you redo his height.
