Superheroes: The All-American

Here's another quick investigator/mystery man from the Cthulhu: Death May Die: Fear of the Unknown box. I'm calling him The All-American, but the game says his name is Steve Wainwright. There's a long history of super-patriotic American superheroes who dress in variations on the red, white, and blue. A non-exhaustive list (beyond the still-relevant Captain America) includes The Super-American, V-Man, American Crusader, American Eagle, Captain Courageous, Fighting Yank, Captain Battle, U.S. Jones, The Eagle, The Flag, The Liberator, Man of War, Yank & Doodle, Uncle Sam, Major Victory, and The Shield. With his early football uniform, The All-American fits right in.

This is the first C:DMD:FotU figure that I've made any physical alterations to; for some reason, he was awkwardly wielding a big chef's knife in his back hand. I removed it, and it just looks like he's pulling back for a haymaker punch now. The red is just Vallejo Heavy Red (72.141) and FolkArt Imperial Red (4669). The blue is Vallejo Heavy Blue (72.143) and Craft Smart Bright Blue (402480). For the white, I used Vallejo Light Grey (70.990); it's not quite as piercing as a true white, and this formula applies very cleanly and smoothly. A Nuln Oil wash, followed by a little bit of highlighting and my normal skin technique, and the figure was finished.
