Some folks over on FB were talking about the ‘he-man" looks that some Dragon figure sets had. I was working up some new little dudes for a dio and thought I would give a quick tutorial ( let me know if you are getting sick of those) and so here it is in all of its’ sartorial splendor,

A fig from the Dragon “Last Battles” set. You can see the body builder appearance.


I began by removing girth from his belt area and also width from shoulder tip to shoulder tip,

Began building him back up with putty. I had to convert from the last pattern 2 pocket jacket back to the last pattern 4 pocket. along the way.

Finished off the bottom pockets and added the button,shoulder boards and belt buckle.

Got out the paint roller and pan to slather the colors on and here we go. Just a quick temp. pose to show the fig.

A tutorial such as this is always useful Jerry; whilst I labour long and hard to obtain half decent renderings of Cold War figures, the principles here are always helpful.
