This custom of mine is of Snake Eyes just minutes after his helo accident which left him deformed and unable to speak. Despite these injuries, Snake Eyes insisted to Charlie Mike: Continue Mission.

As their Huey was going down, its door slid and caught Scarlet’s web gear, trapping her. Snake Eyes risked his own life to free her but suffered horrible third degree burns to his face and extensive damage to his vocal chords.

Snake Eyes was able to convince General Hawk to proceed without without even speaking and even if he is in a world of hurt.

Despite his injuries, Snake Eyes was still adept at throwing knives to silence enemy sentries and rescue George Strawhacker from his captors.

Snake Eyes is an expert with all NATO and Warsaw Pact small arms.

Construction:

I had a lot of battle damaged Snake Eyes but was not satisfied with the battle damage effect. It looks too clean.

At the same time, I was asked to do a Greenshirt custom as proof of concept. I was not planning its outcome so I decided to try out some experimental techniques in weathering with some untested weathering mascara and home made washes.

Startling, I must say.

I was somewhat disappointed with the weathering effect but it was visible in the final pictures. So, it was not all that bad. It gave Snake Eyes’ boots and M16A1 that used look.

The washes were tricky to mix and even trickier to achieve that blood stained effect but it allowed time to adjust how it will look. I am very sure I can do far better next time.

At the end of the day, this custom passed my QA with one major revision with the bandages. The first attempt reminded me of Rorschach so I opted for the natural shadow look.

I am getting to enjoy making Greenshirts so I believe I will make another soon. Not generic, though. Best to give recruits some character before Beachhead breaks them.
