POTC Davey Jones

 Unbelievable that this whole series is based on a Disney ride, Pirates of The Caribbean is one of the best in a combo of SFX and story (IMHO).  I've had this kit for the longest time, and as a matter of fact was misplaced for the longest.  

I picked it up at The Clubhouse's Swap and Sell forum years ago. This bust up looks like it could be 1:4 scale, and have no idea who the maker is. The kit comes in 5 parts - the body, sword hilt claw, right arm, and hat.


 Being a previously owned kit, it looks to have been started. The parts were very clean, and a primer was sprayed on. Looking for reference, most of them had the character is a blue light. That would be easy for me to do but I wanted something more in natural light. So I took the reference and added my own touches to it.  Also the "costume" (mostly digital I'm guessing) is a little too crusty for my taste. I'll tone that down. 

 

Plus a close up of the skin tone - 


 

The pics show Davey has a regular flesh skin tone, and the jacket has an underlying color of blue, so that's where I'll start and end for now. Stop back for more. Thanks for looking.
