Nothing super-special here, but these are my first attempt at doing any kind of toy customs and I'm really happy with the way they turned out!
Destro CC I have a few more pictures here if interested: http://s206.photobucket.com/albums/b...utumn/Customs/ I hope everyone digs them! |

I had the same idea to do my Cobra Commander in gold as well. I like the way yours came out. As far as Destro goes I think he looks great as well. I like the fact that he is now the "man with the golden gun". I do have a little sugestion to you though. I think Destro would even look better if you painted the rest of his silver parts gold as well, such as his chain and the buckles and straps of his holsters. If they are already gold I appologize. I just couldn't tell from the pics.

Thanks for the comments! I think I'll change CC's name to "Yellow Toenail CC"!
I tried painting almost everything silver on Destro as gold, but the paint I'm using didn't want to stick very well. I'm going to go back and give the buckles a black primer coat and then paint them gold. That's the method that i used for the head and it turned out well. I think I'm going to leave his chain silver though. I think it'll go well with the "communicator" on his chest that I've also decided to leave silver. Thanks again! I'll post some updated pics once I'm done! |

Using red as an undercoat for gold can really make it pop; it's brighter and shinier than using black.
I like the gold effect on CC. |
