2 Fat Guys RECON-6

By Bill Human

This is a little gift I recieved from a Secret Santa for Christmas 2008. It's 2 Fat Guys Recon 6 and is a superb little piece. I don't think it's still available, as of this writing, but what I got was four clean pieces, with no bubbles, and some wire for the antenna.

Now, figures aren't a strong suite of mine, but this little guy cracked me up! Anyhow, he went together clean wth no real issues. I painted him with a variety of acrylics, some number '6' decals from the parts box, and a coat of Dullcoat to seal it. I went back and highlighted the inside viewer lens and the outer camera lens with Future to get a nice shiny, glass-like, finish.

I mounted him to a Michaels bargain bin display base, with a pin in his foot, some sand and a chunk of the neighbors landscaping rock. It took me about a week to finish, and most of that was waiting for paint and coatings to dry. It's a shame that this is no longer available; it's well sculpted and cast and was a joy to do, and sometime, I'll get around to doing the Federation Transport that the same secret santa sent to me. Thank you, whoever you are!
