I think it looks pretty dang cool... Maybe paint the lower robe to match the chest color or vice versa

I'm trying a new recipe for my Cairo Thug updates. Obviously I would need to put Spirit's lower arms back on this figure rather than the Cairo Thug's "stock" arms, but I need opinions on whether or not this recipe is worth pursuing. Does the torso NOT being a flowing robe mess up the bottom half with the skirt? Is the color, which is not even meant to try to match the skirt, OK to use like this?
If this is a worthwhile pursuit I will tweak it, but if it looks like crap from the start I'll move on. Let me know what you guys think. And, just because, here are some shots of my second updated Cairo thug (left) along with the original updated thug (right):

Thanks. Just a little glue, green stuff to fill holes, and some paint. Still no paint across joints.

Nice one Xero. I need to shave away part of the vest so his arms lay flat. Maybe later.

Just about everyone has done one I know!
But I really wanted to do one and have him in my display of "defaults". Thanks to the suggestions I received in this thread. I'm happy with how he turned out. I might paint the arm bands to match the hands. He also needs a belt if anyone has suggestions.....

I took the figure to a local Games Workshop and had them match it up with the nearest color to paint the Kwinn waist.
I was impressed with their brand and plan to use it again.
