While this version of this character was represented in the Black Series action figure line, 3.75-inch collectors were left wishing for it. In this case, a prospective client wished for it enough that he commissioned my services to bring it to life. Crosshair's time with the Empire was a dark pathology in his character, but his Imperial armor was undeniably stylish.
The base for this figure was a Clone Wars Phase I Clone Trooper. The Helmet, Backpack and Rifle were 3D prints provided to me by the client. To get the body armor where it needed to be, I sculpted onto it with Green Stuff.
The paint scheme was a challenge. A tip for painting anything black, is that you rarely use pure black. There are several shades of grey at work that amplify the planes and edges of the armor. This also contributes to representing the animated painterly textures in the Bad Batch visual style.
Overall, I'm very happy with the final product, and I look forward to making more characters from the Bad Batch TV series now that it has come to its gratifying conclusion!
