Hi there. So now that I'm back into the swing of customizing/painting, I thought I'd turn my attention to a couple of Joe figures I thought needed some attentions and luvz. Most of these guys rule and really don't need work, but I think a little TLC can really bring out the best.
First on my (short) list was Zartan. Oh, Zartan. How you raised such a stir, you made ppl actually claim they LIKED metal belly shirts, you made ppl gasp at your fashion choice of a Cobra symbol. I for one loved this mold. People claimed he didn't have the old school tank top thing going on, but he does...he's just got the black shirt on underneath it. I like the Cobra symbol. He's a Cobra agent. I like the skull on the belt, the head mold is flawless victory. Then we get to my problem.....the paint job. Sigh. I hated the drab green/gray. No details were painted. I didn't like the black cobra symbol. Not to mention my Zartan looked a little inbred with his eyes looking two different directions. And I always liked the cool iridescent blueish stickers in the armor of the V1. I wanted to recapture that. Since I loved the mold, I saw no reason to part-swap, just a little paint work... I STILL need to go in and continue to perfect the lines on the leg armor, and he's still curing so I don't want to over-pose him, but overall I think it works and is a large improvement with the V1 flair. Any feedback would be great. Peace |
