I picked this toy up a while ago and thought I would re-paint and stick him on a base as a birthday present for my brother.
I glued him in the pose I wanted then filled the seams and sanded the many slight defects that you get with these toys. I only had to add 2 plastic strips to his forearms.
The 'diamond' on the left knee was left as is since I had to work to a deadline.
I scratched the shoulder pauldron. I used some metal foil and cut little shapes. I used a small rivet for the stud. It's quite fragile, but the scale looks good as this should be pretty thin (the roriginal was very thick).
I made some decals for the vents down the sides of the helmet. They turned out a bit small, but I went with it since it would be a massive over-use of decal paper.
I used Tamiya sand texture paint for the base. Expensive, but very quick and easy for a noob like me.
I gave him a light Flory wash and then added some light rust (it looked sandy enough when it went on).
