    Keeping on with the theme of my past few customs, here's my take on Bad Boy so far.

    Still need to do a couple touch-ups and of course, bust out the RIT DyeMore and dye the beige limbs a nice blue.

    The canopy really needs a touch-up coat.

    I hate painting eyes, man.

    The varnish decided to MELT PARTS OF THE WHITE PAINT OFF.
    So fun.

    That sort of floor polish pretty much doesn't exist in Australia without importing it at a ludicrous expense so I guess I'm fucked. :v

    Pascoes acrylic floor polish available from Bunnings $11 a bottle. It's basically like GW 'ardcoat but thinner.

    Good to fellow Aussies doing customs, nice work!
    Is that the OS KO powerglide from sirtoys?
    Were your limbs as loose as a $2 prostitute?

    Nice choice of using the legends figures to rub in how small bug bite is.

    Fingers crossed it works out - if it's still floppy, some superglue to thicken the balls would work a treat!
    To be fair these are oversized. :p
