Great paint job on Cross Country and you always do solid takes on Big Ben. Still need to finish my v4. Have him built but was having trouble getting the bullets just right, might try a backpack to get them tighter like you did.
Thanks, I was pleased with the wrist guards but as mentioned above a couple of others got there ahead of me. Looking at the pictures again I wonder if I should paint the cloth parts of the wrist protectors black to extend the gloves and just leave the armoured parts purple (I am never satisfied with my customs and always have to tweak them!)
I assume you are aware that you need to cut the bullet belts shorter and then glue the ends together to fit properly around the torso, a backpack does help to keep them in place and cover up the join.

Thanks, sculpting is not my strong point but was reasonably happy with the head, except the monocle which does not look like a monocle (but then neither did the v1 figure really) and after painting was not as flat as I thought it was. I wanted to use one of the new sculpt Dr Mindbender heads but they did not fit on the BFS neck post. Although using the blank head did mean the skin tone matched perfecty.
