UPDATED: OK, I have painted his sash, added a strap to his pack, and touched up the rising sun on his headband. I put some more pics here.
I just made the strap to look like rope as best as I could from what I have (from an extra comic pack storm shadow's weapon). I figured it would look a little like something he could toss over his shoulder quickly. The pack hangs more naturally if I put it over the other shoulder, but I didn't want it to be on the same side as the sash. ************************************************** ********************* So I opened the DVD pack with Quick Kick today - and I didn't even make it 24 hours before I sat down to repaint him! I was initially only going to paint the thin lines at the top of his eyes, but then I realized that I didn't really like the orange color of his body nor did I like the less-than-ideal paint job on his head. So, here he is: I may paint his sash red so the entire figure is consistent - I haven't done it yet because I need to go pick up some silver paint. I also plan to fashion a strap for his backpack and cut off the peg. I could also probably round out the red circle on his head band just a little. |

I did the same thing with mine. Those eyes and interior posterior were driving me nuts.

That is absolutely beautiful! And the new flesh color you gave him is so much more appealing than orange, lol! I so wish he had come like that to begin with. I HATE painting that little line at the top of the eye, but I may have to just go ahead and try anyway. Any tips on making it look as good as yours?

I'm not very skilled at it - sometimes I get lucky and it's tolerable and sometimes it looks really crappy. Because I decided to do a complete repaint, I painted the black line first and didn't worry if it was a little sloppy. Then I painted the white of the eyes, then I painted the flesh tone around the eye. The last two colors served to cover up any places where the black was a little off.

Thanks! You know, I was not impressed with this figure when I first saw it, but the head sculpt really isn't that bad to me at all. I really like this figure.
I'm just glad I didn't decide to paint the nipples pink. <shudder>
