I am not at all into custom figures making but thought I would do a better paint job on all the figs. Basically just drybrushing to give some extra shadow and depth. I will post some pictures when I get done but wondering if anyone else thought the paint could be better.
I will probably also fill those screws in the legs. |

i've done a couple touch-ups here and there.
havent dry brushed anything though. might give it a shot with shipwreck to give more of a dungaree apperance to his pants. i've seen some nice drybrush work done to beach head that brings out the ribs of his sweater. i just need to find the right color of green. my touch ups have been little stuff like gold tips on Gung Ho's 40mm grenades, black fuse caps on SE's (v2) grenades, dark green pants for lady jaye, and that's really about it. otherwise its just been marauder inc upgrades for my 25th joes. oh yesterday i painted legion SS copmpletely black. works great for a typical looking ninja! post your pics!

I didn't have a lot of time but ended up starting a few. I put a clear coat over Destro to give his suit a leather look and then repainted his head in shiny chrome leaving the eyes the same color. I didnt like the green eyes at all. This looks way better. Not that cheap silver looking water based paint.
I also did the same to Cobra Commander's mask. Again much better looking. Then I applied a clear coat although a bit more subtle to him and his helmet to bring out more highlights. I will probably go with a much shinier coat on his helmet later to make it stand out. I did the dreadnok up very cool. He has some chrome features like the skulls on his shin guards and belt buckle along with the shoulder guard. His glasses are redone with black lenses and look much better to me. I will have to post some pics when I have time. p.s. I wouldn't touch them if I didn't have confidence in my painting ability where I knew they would look improved. |

Repainted the 25th Snake Eyes in black. Didn't like the grey colour it came in:
The sword is from www.goodtogocustoms.com in the store. |

I like your style, but the alley viper while cool and all needs a shield (I always dug that shield).

I gave my CC a white stripe on his helmet. I painted Shipwrecks shoes and straps and belt black. I repainted both Snake-Eyes black. I gave Destro a glossier finish so it's a leathery look now (as somebody else already stated they did, too). I repainted Firefly completely to be a lot darker. Lots of little touch ups on almost all of the figures.
