Well, someone (I forget who, am too lazy to check) suggested that with a little more paint on the pants, my Cobalt Raze would look like Shockwave. So, I decided that instead of a custom character, I would do Shockwave. And wow... he turned out awesome, I think:
My hands weren't very steady today, I apologize. The camo-ish pattern extends under the vest, of course. I just need to get him a hat. His main color is kind of dark, but I wanted the top (which I had already painted) to match. I also painted the detonator on the left thigh black, because it doesn't make any sense brown. I am really happy with how he turned out, he is super awesome. Next, I am doing my own "fixed" Major Bludd. I didn't think the regular was THAT bad, but I do recognize his armor is really quite off. So, I had a rather floppy-ish HISS Driver (the T-bar that connects his legs to his torso) that donated his torso to the cause. I am a little upset that I was too eager to move his joints, and didn't want to apply the finish, so he has bits of red paint showing at his shoulders and elbows. I am also looking to take Red Star's legs, and give him those instead of the ones he has. Lastly, his teeth. I think that headsculpt, aside from the fact his helmet is fixed on his head, looks 100% better with painted teeth. The third guy is here with the other two. He's like... uh... a HISS Driver Immortal Captain Omega or something. Beats me. I just didn't want to waste the Major Bludd or HISS Driver parts and it looks pretty good, I suppose.

Good job on these.
I cant wait to get a bludd to fix. brokenarrowtoys.com has some hats but he is sold out of the swat hat, but it looks like he has other baseball style hats. You can ask them if they fit on a firefly head. http://www.brokenarrowtoys.com/cart/...ewCat&catId=37

I am not sure what to do about a hat. I want to get that SWAT hat, but they're never going to do more! Ah well.
The customizing bug has bit me and won't let go, because I am doing more stuff right now!

Sweet customs! Shockwave looks sweet, and the major looks much better than the original!
How did you get the paint to stay on the joints, mine always peels off when I move them? Is there anyway to seperate the arm from the torso, I think that would help a lot! |

Use Gung-Ho's hat...? You can probably shave out some of the insides to make it fit.
