    ive had this toy for a while, and i saw someone do an awesome repaint of this guy the other day so i thought i would try it.
    im painting all the grey parts silver, then doing a black wash over it to make it look battle worn-ish. and i put his head on a ball joint.
    so far i have the torso done (minus one arm) and the legs are almost finished
    sorry for the blury pics, i dont have a very good camera.
    advice and constructive criticism is appreciated

    Your idea and work so far are good. I think I would also suggest a purple wash as well as the dark purple of the toy itself may find you with a toy that really has no purple hue at all with all of your work on it.

    I'm gonna have to order paint online as my local hobby stores have all closed shop. Sounds like you may have to end up doing the same. :(
