Andrea Space Hunter bodysuit

Here's mine (took first in modern source Sci-fi at IPMS Nationals in Phoenix in 2004.)

The foliage was taken from a bag of dried stuff form Michael's, the water is Liquitex. I carefully dry-brushed the netting and retouched as needed. Be careful of the tusks. They were some of the smalest parts I've dealt with on a figure.

Yep, those tusks were quite small....carpet monster almost ate two of mine. I just went with the kit base, and for the body mesh I used a soft black pencil and lightly rubbed the edge, not the tip of it, over the mesh. I thought the overall fit was pretty good.

Hi guys

thanks for the photos, very nice work !

The netting is the only real problem I expected to encounter, otherwise it will be custom skin tones and typical metal shading and such.  Very nice work, I plan on doing a larger base myself.

thanks for the heads up on the tusks, an idea for mounting them is formulating in my mind  on how to do this ...

 thanks again

Looking forward to seeing how you do with it, David. It really is a great little figure, and a neat subject too! I've got a 1/8 scale resin model of this guy I bought online from a shop in the UK that I'm just chompin' at the bit to get started on. Keep us posted on your progress!

Hi Mike

I sure will.  I have the paint ready to go , it just has to get its turn in the pattern.

I need to finish the awful Coree 1/35 Iwo Jima first. That set is AWFUL!
