Here's Dart. One of the best of the New Sculpt era, and a fine character to boot. I remember being pretty stoked when I originally got him, the Duke/Ripper pack, and Wild Bill pack back in 02/03. Not sure of the year. I really liked him though.
There are several characters that don't get alot of recognition from that era that I am currently making plans for. Dart had to be the first out of the gates though.
I have had him on my radar for awhile, and had a couple of false starts with him. Mostly due to size, and skin tone. I HATE painting flesh tones. To me, it never looks right. Rock has that skin tone that's not quite white, not quite black, and when washed with a watered down "leather" color, looked native American enough for me. I picture Dart as a rather tall guy.. might just be due to the original seeming bigger than most figures coming out at that time.
I needed him to look not so much like the Rock (not that the V1 Roadblock really does..) so off came the mustache and goatee with some nail polish remover. The eyebrows were made thicker with just paint. Hair sculpted on, but the ponytail, along with the feather were sliced off a vintage Dart.
I had started to sculpt armbands... and one of them wasn't too bad, I even tried to add a little detail to it like the original.
however, once painted, you can't see it, so the next one I just cut off of the 25th Airborne's gear. I had originally sculpted some gauntlets as well, but couldn't get them to look right with the massive and rounded forearms of the figure.
