Greetings, fellow addicts
So, I've had this figure sitting on my bench for the better part of four years with nothing to do. I have always thought that this was one of the better attempts by Hasbro to do a 12 inch figure but thought the paint job could be done better than the stenciled paint app already present.
I finally got it started a few weeks ago and I have the figure about 90% completed. All I have to do is add the decals to the chest and shoulder piece and it's done. But here are some of the work in progress pics. Hope you enjoy.
First off a couple of before pics.
The black base coat is actually a krylon Fusion spray since the soft plastic doesn't quite take to other paints so well..followed by a aluminum base.
I also whittled down the tip of the missile on his jet pack.
The helmet was the first to get painted..here is a shot of the helmet with one coat of paint and a little chipping to bring out the aluminum base.
even the gun got a paint job.
nearly complete and with mood lighting..
