The Rocketeer

#1 Post by harpooner54 »

Here is my take on the Rocketeer by Screamin'. This was a commission build & the owner requested that
the helmet be displayed off of the figure. The waist of the figure was modified so that he stood more
upright & the hollow vinyl parts were filled with resin. Most of the paints used were acrylics, with the
exception of polished brass Alclad, which was used on the helmet & the upper parts of the rocket pack.
This was the 1st time I have used Alclad & I was happy with the results.

Sensational! His leather jacket and pants are impeccable. In fact, the entire figure is impressive.

An extraordinary build.
