Update! Painted the back of the legs, the front of the boots, the gauntlets, inside of the lower arms, back clip of the mask, the chest pocket vest, and the belt buckle. My eyes are blurry as hell. Still need to finish the camo on the pants.
Update! Detailed the chest pocket vest and did the first coat of camo on the pants. Just need to do a coat or two more on the camo pants and it should be done. Oh and I'm thinking about detailing his sunglasses. Oh, I've also decided not to paint his flamethrower. I was gonna paint it yellow and red but decided that would be too much.
I've got to agree! This custom, as with your other S6 customs, are outstanding! I would love to know how to take these guys apart to try some customs myself with some of the shelfwarmers we have around here. Any tips?
Here's a great tutorial on the how to of customizing these guys: http://208.109.228.20/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=845 I don't go as far as cracking the chest open to change the shoulder and hip joints. I only pop off the joints at the elbows, wrists, knees, and feet. The changing of shoulders and hips are more for the advanced customizers.
looking good so far Ron. You planning to finish it tomorrow? And good idea on skipping the flame-thrower.
Depends. Hopefully it will be finished and ready for clear coating today but it all depends on how much more coats I need to put on the camo legs.
Update! Painted the sunglasses and finished touching up all the areas that needed touching up. So now just waiting for the paint to dry. Then I'm going to reassemble and put on the clear coat.
LOL well given who's making this one, It will definately be different In all seriousness though it is looking good.
Update! Teaser pic! Still need to clear coat him, wait for it to dry, and then put all the accessories on. I had to do some supergluing as well. Apparently when the head was attached fully, the neck pretty much disappeared entirely. So I ended up peggin his head halfway and supergluing it.
Update! Done! Next major project to tackle: Airtight! Damn, forgot his S6 dogtag. Oh well, you get the idea.
