Design:

Wesson appeared in the Special Missions preview of Marvel's GI Joe #50 as one of the Leon Trotsky Brigade of the Fourth International skyjackers. As with my other LTBOTFI customs, the parts that make up Wesson aren't exact matches for the comic book artwork, but they're close enough to represent Herb Trimpe's designs.

Wesson joins "Fatso with the Machine Gun", Meryl, and Roger to complete my Leon Trotsky Brigade of the Fourth International set.

Colors & Paint:

Based on the comic book. The crispness of the figure's head was lost blending in the sculpted neck fat. To correct this, the mouth and the ear details are painted back on.

Sculpting & Modifying:

Wesson was drawn to be a bit dumpy, making the Mutt Williams body a good base. The bandana, neck fat, and rolled-up sleeves are sculpted. I've sculpted neck fat before and it's not easy to do without over going it. On my Cliff Dagger figure, it turned out over the top and looked silly. On this figure, I toned it down and think I did pretty well. It manages to make the figure look like a man with an extra 40 lbs. or so on his frame.

Thanks for looking.
