My first custom!!!
Well here it is, it's finally done. Originally, I planned on a Techno-Viper, very similar to Kalibus’s but I couldn’t wait for my flat white paint to come in the mail. So I just used purple pearl and grape pearl. Haha I had no idea pearl was kinda another name for glossy paint. That was not my intention at all but I liked how the paint job turned out. I know this custom isn’t perfect but man I love it and it was extremely fun to do. For those people who read these forums and are afraid to do customs cuz they think they can’t do it or will never be good enough. You got to step out on that ledge. I’m telling you man it’s worth it and you will enjoy it believe me. Any ways moving on, I think I’m going to do a Dial-Tone or Crystal Ball next. Again, I would like to say thanks to CC, Kalibus, Galen, and Taun for the help. Head: Resolute CC Torso/arms/torso tubes: Cobra Para-trooper Legs: B.A.T. Arm tubes/body armor: pilot Destro Accessories: RAH T-viper Paint(did not dilute with water): Testor's model master; Purple pearl, grape pearl, silver, flat black Last edited by frfarbd; 05-01-2009 at 07:07 PM.. |

Welcome to the wonderful world of customs!
I have to say, I really like the look of the pearl paint. It's not really glossy, but has a real nice reflective look to it. I may have to look and see what other colors there are. Nice! |

Yeah I know, I think the reflective look reminds me of how the vintage ARAH figures used to be.

Welcome! I am not usually a fan of CC given all the variants they shove down our throat, but I love how this figure turned out. Even if you put a different head on it later (Like a painted bat head or something), I think it's top notch.
