I went for a bit of an updated redesign look for the M.A.S.K. teams resident "Indian Motorcycle Specialist?" I used a Robotech helmet for more of a motorcycle feel than his original helmet design which always struck me as just weird?

Well, yours look way better, and also fits really good with the Joes.
Great work, i really like it. One critic tho: you should dilute a bit more the paint. It's notorious in the white portions.

Yeah, i know. They're kinda traslucent.
There are some tricks that miniature painters use for these colours (i've been painting minitures over 10 years, so they should work ;) ): -White: use various layers. Even that way you'll have problems. What i do is mixing a bit of black to get a light grey, then i paint on top a few layers of white. -Yellow: first a layer of white, then paint with yellow. -Orange: same than yellow. You can also do a mix of orange and white as the base colour. Overall, mixing a bit of white will make a colour more solid, even if for separated they are traslucent.

Swafus, I really dig that you are redesigning the originals. I much prefer to see an updated vision than to see someone try to replicate the original toys.
