All parts - Tunnel Rat (Funskool version)

Satchel - Tunnel Rat
Backpack, machine gun - Marauder Inc.


Eventually I'd like to give all of my vintage Joes a paint upgrade, to give a little more detail and make them more visually interesting. Tunnel Rat is an absolute classic figure of course, one of the absolute favourites from my youth. He has a pretty good amount of painted detail already, but there's always room for improvement. And sometimes when painting a figure like this, you notice details on the figure that you didn't appreciate before. Tunnel Rat has straps on his shoulders, for example, something I never really noticed until I used the torso for another custom, because they weren't painted on the original. The eyes begged to be painted as well, like all vintage figures. And adding some colour to the accessories helps.
