    I did this Custom in less then 3 hours today, cause I was badly bored.

    This was a old already repainted figure, the paint job was so bad that I decided to renew it, and this is the result :)

    This is pretty slick, the use of the copper is just right, and the silver has a very nice shimmer. What did you use for that silver?

    Thank you guys :)  it's alclad paint (airbrush only)

    Thank you buddy

    Normally it's a fail to rush a custom like that, but the climate was perfect and I was able to dry spray most of the paint, so nearly no curing time was needed.

    But I wasn't sure about it, this is why I hadn't posted any altmode pics yet

    looks great. I like that silver, makes the door panel look sharp.
