OK, here is my first custom painting of a figure since I was a kid.

The arms are, of course, TF Flint's. The hands came from Grunt. I trimmed off the cuff then cut off the little post and glued it back onto the hand. This works great by the way - the post is bonded to the hand very strongly so that the hand can turn and can even be taken back out without breaking off the post.
The paint I used was an almost exact match for the original color, only it may be a little too glossy (there was no option for flat). I'll probably put a flat clear coat on next. It looks very dark in this picture, but that's the lighting. I did not paint the belts, and they look dark as well.
For some reason, the paint on the arms were a little thick and gloppy, even though I used the same kind as the green. Next time I'll have to thin it out a little more.
I'll take some action shots later, right now I have to pack for a trip.
EDIT: Here's an action shot.
