Grim my 3A bambaboss progress. Made him a rucksack, a foxes tail a reaping scythe.

I had filled and sanded his back but after priming wanted to add some extra details on him. Thinking of a lamp maybe to hang from the pack along with the tail.

Primed and ready for paint.

Marty McFly's Radiation suit by [rich]
Marty McFly's Radiation suit, a photo by [rich] on Flickr.

I was invited bt the nice people over at Flatties to take part in their 'JUST IN TIME' show - the only rule was any piece produced needed to be a tie in with the awesome Back to the future film series. After a coat of thinking about I picked Marty in his radiation suit (where he pretended to be Darth Vader) - above is the finished sculpt.
