    This used to be a black suit Superman but I decided I wanted something more in line with his original color scheme. I fully repainted him (skin and all) and then detailed him with a wash and paneling.

    His skin tones were the hardest to do because I wanted several tones in there for more realism and had to mix the colors. I haven't done skin tones this in depth before but there's always a 1st time for everything I guess.

    Thanks for looking.

    Nice! The new costume looks great in more vibrant, classic colors. Being honest, though, I do miss the yellow belt.

    Nice job! Skin tones came out nice. Looks like paint rub isn't going to be much of a problem. Very cool.

    Thanks for your comments guys! Yeah, I thought about the belt but his current details didn't make sense to make a complete belt so I passed on it.
    No rub with this figure StrangePlanet. I'll post a YouTube video showing that as soon as I get my light tent in order.

    Now THIS is the man of steel. I personally would have painted that buckle yellow.

    Your paint job is way too classy for the limited range of articulation this figure suffers from. It kills me how bad the ROM is on this figure!

    Good job, I never would have thought you repainted his entire suit.
