Sigma 6 Low-Light

I wanted to do a Low-Light custom but couldn't find the inspiration until I put together a custom sniper rifle.  Then the figure just fell into place and here he is.

LOW-LIGHT

Base Figure: Quad Duke w/ modified head
Accessories: Arctic Duke neck scarf / Duke v.1 goggles / Firefly belt / Quad Duke knife / Snake-Eyes v.1 Uzi / 1/6 scale sniper rifle & backpack, flashlight, grenade / custom sniper rifle

I wanted Low-Light to have the same feel as the v.1 figure but didn't want to duplicate the watch cap that I had done on Frostbite.  I also wanted to be able to have the goggles be removable.  So I went with a slight design change and gave him a "do rag" instead of the stocking cap.  I trimmed down Duke's pointy hair and sculpted on the do rag.  I took a ponytail from Long Range and sculpted it in the back to serve as the knot and I think it came out pretty well.  The rest was just painting.  I tried to stick to the v.1 Low-Light paint scheme using a dark gray for the main accent color and of course the red shoulder pad had to be there too.

Low-Light's sniper rifle is a custom job.  I took a 1/6 scale M-16 and cut off the barrel.  Then I took the suppressed barrel from Long Range and glued it to the M-16 body.  I also added the scope from the Long Range rifle and painted it black.  I like the looks of this rifle and think it really fits the figure well.

As a boy, Low-Light was a timid child that was deathly afraid of the dark.  Growing up in an outdoors loving family in North Dakota he was a bit of a black sheep.  But all that changed on a hunting trip when he was twelve.  During the early morning hours he became separated from the group and was lost in the wilderness. They found him three weeks later with his rifle, flashlight and a grin from ear to ear.  While not an avid hunter like the rest of his family, Low-Light did enjoy shooting and quickly became a proficient target shooter.  He competed in several amateur competitions, winning in his age group every time and by the time he was eighteen had caught the attention of a gun manufacturer who wanted to sponsor Low-Light on the professional shooting circuit.  He did this throughout college as a means to pay for his education and upon graduating left the world of competitive shooting to join the military.  It was in the army that Low-Light found his true calling and after basic training he was accepted into sniper school.  His proficiency on the target range helped him quickly move through the ranks and into the Special Forces working overseas on a number of classified operations.  His talent for being able to take out a target in the most adverse conditions and his ability to stay in one spot for days waiting for the perfect shot brought him to the attention of Duke and Low-Light was soon offered a spot on the Sigma 6 team as their primary sniper and marksmanship instructor.

Duke: "In the blackest of nights, with clouds and no moon, Low-Light can still hit his target without a second glance. He's that good and if he weren't on our side we'd be in trouble."
